Crate sql_middleware 

This crate provides a lightweight async wrapper for SQLite, PostgreSQL, LibSQL, Turso (experimental), and SQL Server (tiberius). The goal is a similar, async-compatible API consistent across databases.

Features

• Similar API regardless of backend (as much as possible)
• Asynchronous (where available)
• deadpool connection pooling (where available)
• Transaction support
• Not an ORM

Feature Flags

Default features are sqlite and postgres. Enable others as needed:

# Only SQLite and LibSQL
sql-middleware = { version = "0", features = ["sqlite", "libsql"] }

# All backends
sql-middleware = { version = "0", features = ["sqlite", "postgres", "mssql", "libsql", "turso"] }

Additional flags:

• libsql: LibSQL (local has been tested, remote is present)
• turso: Turso (in-process, SQLite-compatible). Experimental; no remote support.
• test-utils: Test helpers for internal testing
• mssql: SQL Server via tiberius (untested, but present)
• benchmarks: Criterion helpers for benches

Example

use chrono::NaiveDateTime;
use sql_middleware::prelude::*;

pub struct ScoreChange {
    pub espn_id: i64,
    pub score: i32,
    pub updated_at: NaiveDateTime,
}

/// Update scores across any supported backend without copy/pasting per-database functions.
pub async fn set_scores_in_db(
    config_and_pool: &ConfigAndPool,
    updates: &[ScoreChange],
) -> Result<ResultSet, SqlMiddlewareDbError> {
    // Acquire a pooled connection (Postgres, SQLite, LibSQL, or Turso).
    let mut conn = config_and_pool.get_connection().await?;

    // Author once; translation rewrites placeholders per backend.
    let insert_sql = "INSERT INTO scores (espn_id, score, updated_at) VALUES ($1, $2, $3)";
    let fetch_sql = "SELECT espn_id, score, updated_at FROM scores ORDER BY updated_at DESC LIMIT $1";

    // Reuse the same binding logic for every backend.
    for change in updates {
        let params = vec![
            RowValues::Int(change.espn_id),
            RowValues::Int(i64::from(change.score)),
            RowValues::Timestamp(change.updated_at),
        ];
        let statement = QueryAndParams::new(insert_sql, params);
        conn.query(&statement.query)
            .translation(TranslationMode::ForceOn)
            .params(&statement.params)
            .dml()
            .await?;
    }

    // Fetch the latest rows to confirm the write path succeeded.
    let limit = updates.len().max(1) as i64;
    let latest = QueryAndParams::new(fetch_sql, vec![RowValues::Int(limit)]);
    conn.query(&latest.query)
        .translation(TranslationMode::ForceOn)
        .params(&latest.params)
        .select()
        .await
}
