Crate quaint_forked

quaint

A database client abstraction for reading and writing to an SQL database in a safe manner.

Goals

• Query generation when the database and conditions are not known at compile time.
• Parameterized queries.
• A modular design, separate AST for query building and visitors for different databases.
• Database support behind a feature flag.

Non-goals

• Database-level type-safety in query building or being an ORM.

Databases

• SQLite
• PostgreSQL
• MySQL
• Microsoft SQL Server

Methods of connecting

Quaint provides two options to connect to the underlying database.

The single connection method:

use quaint::{prelude::*, single::Quaint};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), quaint::error::Error> {
    let conn = Quaint::new("file:///tmp/example.db").await?;
    let result = conn.select(Select::default().value(1)).await?;

    assert_eq!(
        Some(1),
        result.into_iter().nth(0).and_then(|row| row[0].as_i64()),
    );

    Ok(())
}

The pooled method:

use quaint::{prelude::*, pooled::Quaint};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), quaint::error::Error> {
    let pool = Quaint::builder("file:///tmp/example.db")?.build();
    let conn = pool.check_out().await?;
    let result = conn.select(Select::default().value(1)).await?;

    assert_eq!(
        Some(1),
        result.into_iter().nth(0).and_then(|row| row[0].as_i64()),
    );

    Ok(())
}

Using the AST module

The crate can be used as an SQL string builder using the ast and visitor modules.

AST is generic for all databases and the visitors generate correct SQL syntax for the database.

The visitor returns the query as a string and its parameters as a vector.

let conditions = "word"
    .equals("meow")
    .and("age".less_than(10))
    .and("paw".equals("warm"));

let query = Select::from_table("naukio").so_that(conditions);
let (sql_str, params) = Sqlite::build(query)?;

assert_eq!(
    "SELECT `naukio`.* FROM `naukio` WHERE (`word` = ? AND `age` < ? AND `paw` = ?)",
    sql_str,
);

assert_eq!(
    vec![
        Value::from("meow"),
        Value::from(10),
        Value::from("warm"),
    ],
    params
);

Modules

• ast
  An abstract syntax tree for SQL queries.
• connector
  A set of abstractions for database connections.
• error
  Error module
• pooled
  A connection pool to a SQL database.
• prelude
  A “prelude” for users of the quaint crate.
• serde
  Convert results from the database into any type implementing serde::Deserialize.
• single
  A single connection abstraction to a SQL database.

Macros

• col
  Marks a given string or a tuple as a column. Useful when using a column in calculations, e.g.
• val
