utility scala-sql

[中文版本帮助](Readme-ZH_CN.md)

scala-sql 2.0 is the simple scala sql api on top of JDBC.

  • Little new concepts, just a light enclosing api on top of JDBC. Learning scala-sql is 1-2 hours if you familar with JDBC.
  • scala friend api, designed for stronger typed, immutable and functional programming
  • extensible for new data types.
  • simple typed mapping, via macro.
  • compile time SQL grammer check.
  • deattached Row for common use without mapping.

Planning Features

  • [ ] utils to support REPL.
  • [X] Batch API
  • [ ] Client Side Sharding(Sharding-JDBC) support

Basic usgae

scala-sql enhance java.sql.Connection & java.sql.DataSource with more methods:

  • executeUpdate

    dataSource executeUpdate sql"""update table set name = "$name" and age = ${age} where id = ${id}"""
    

    you may compare the code with the Java Version that do the same thing:

    DataSource dataSource = ...;
    Connection conn = null;
    PreparedStatement ps = null;
    try {
      conn = dataSource.getConnection();
      ps = conn.prepareStatement("update table set name = ? and age = ? where id = ?")
      ps.setString(1, name);
      ps.setInt(2, age);
      ps.setInt(3, id);
    
      ps.executeUpdate
    }
    finally {
      try {
          if(ps != null) ps.close();
      }
      catch(SQLException ex){}
      try {
          if(conn != null) conn.close();
      }
      catch(SQLException ex) {}
    }
    }
    

    That is scala-sql, which has the same sematics as the JDBC framework, but with better encapsulation and more scala style.

scala-sql provide a powerful sql/SQL string interpolation sql"sql-statement" and SQL"sql-statement" It has features:

  • ${expr} is not injected as string concat but SQL parameter, or the ? style in prepared statement. so by using scala-sql, you can avoid SQL-Inject problems automated
  • also ${expr} is type checked at compile time, you can't pass a wrong type such as a java.sql.Connection or java.swing.JFrame value, since which can't saved to table columns.
  • scala-sql support all baisc jdbc primitive SQL types such as boolean, byte, short, int, float, double, string, bigdecimal, date, time, timestamp etc.
  • scala-sql also support scala types such as scala.BigDecimal, scala.Option[T] where T is valid sql type
  • you can define your pass-in Type T by define a implict value JdbcValueAccessor[T]
  • MOST INTERESTING FEATURE, the SQL"sql-statement" can even check the statement grammar at compile time, include the sql grammar, wrong table name, wrong fieldname, and etc. to using this feature, please see usage on the Compile-Time grammar check section.

    • rows ```scala case class User(name: String, age: Int)

    val users: List[User] = dataSource.rows[User](sql"select * from users where name like ${name}")

    scala-sql provide a Simple ORM mechanism, any object of type `T` which has a implict `ResultSetMapper[T]`
    can be used in rows, row, foreach method.
    

rows[T](sql) where T can be

  • Case Class. Currently, the scala-sql provide a macro which support automated generate the ResultSetMapper of a case class, so you need not writing the mapping code by hand, the macro will automate generate it.
  • Row exists when you don't provide a mapping type, you can think Row is a deattached ResultSet row. so a simple rows[Row](sql"statement") can used to recieve data from database.
  • primitive types. if your statment only select 1 column such as select count(*) from table, you can even using the primitive sql types such as rows[Int](sql"statement""), this include

    • Byte, Short, Int, Long, java.math.BigDecimal, scala.BigDecimal
    • String
    • java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time, java.sql.DateTime, java.sql.Timestamp
    • foreach scala dataSource.foreach(sql"select * from users where name like ${name}" { u: User => ... } also, you can use Case Class or Row or primitive sql types for recieve the mapping.
    • generateKey
    • withStatement scala dataSource.withStatement { stmt: Statement => ... }
    • withPreparedStatement
    • withConnection scala dataSource.withConnection { conn: Connection => ... }
    • withTransaction scala dataSource.withTransaction { conn: Conntion => ... }
    • [Batch API](docs/batch.md) provide a scala style API for batch operation, special support for MySQL Grammar

Compile-Time grammar check

  1. write a scala-sql.properties in current directory
  2. provide a default.url, default.user, default.password, default.driver for the default configuration
  3. write sql statement using SQL"select * from table"
  4. If you need to access muti-database, you can define a @db(name="some") in the enclosing class, and define some.url, some.user, some.password, some.driver

JdbcValue[T], JdbcValueAccessor[T]

scala-sql defines type class JdbcValueAccessor[T], any type which has an implicit context bound of JdbcValueAccessor can be passed into query, and passed out from ResultSet. This include:

  • primary SQL types, such as byte, short, int, string, date, time, timestamp, BigDecimal
  • scala types: such as scala.BigDecimal
  • optional types. Now you can pass a Option[BigDecimal] into statement which will auto support the null
  • customize your type via define a implicit value JdbcValueAccessor[T]

ResultSetMapper[T]

scala-sql define type class ResultSetMapper[T], any type which has an implicit context of ResultSetMapper can be mapped to a ResulSet, thus, can be used in the rows[T], row[T], foreach[T] operations.

instead of writing the ResultSetMapper yourself, scala-sql provide a Macro which automate generate the mapper for Case Class.

So, does it support all Case Class ? of couse not, eg. you Case class case class User(name: String, url: URL) is not supported because the url field is not compatible with SQL. the scala-sql Macro provide a stronger type check mechanism for ensure the Case Class is able to mapping from ResultSet.
