🔱 A dynamic query builder for MySQL, Postgres and SQLite

crate docs build status

SeaQuery

SeaQuery is a query builder to help you construct dynamic SQL queries in Rust. You can construct expressions, queries and schema as abstract syntax trees using an ergonomic API. We support MySQL, Postgres and SQLite behind a common interface that aligns their behaviour where appropriate.

We provide integration for SQLx, postgres and rusqlite. See examples for usage.

SeaQuery is the foundation of SeaORM, an async & dynamic ORM for Rust.

Motivation

Why would you want to use a dynamic query builder?

  1. Parameter bindings

One of the headaches when using raw SQL is parameter binding. With SeaQuery you can:

assert_eq!(
    Query::select()
        .column(Glyph::Image)
        .from(Glyph::Table)
        .and_where(Expr::col(Glyph::Image).like("A"))
        .and_where(Expr::col(Glyph::Id).is_in([1, 2, 3]))
        .build(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    (
        r#"SELECT "image" FROM "glyph" WHERE "image" LIKE $1 AND "id" IN ($2, $3, $4)"#
            .to_owned(),
        Values(vec![
            Value::String(Some(Box::new("A".to_owned()))),
            Value::Int(Some(1)),
            Value::Int(Some(2)),
            Value::Int(Some(3))
        ])
    )
);
  1. Dynamic query

You can construct the query at runtime based on user inputs:

Query::select()
    .column(Char::Character)
    .from(Char::Table)
    .conditions(
        // some runtime condition
        true,
        // if condition is true then add the following condition
        |q| {
            q.and_where(Expr::col(Char::Id).eq(1));
        },
        // otherwise leave it as is
        |q| {},
    );

Iden

Iden is a trait for identifiers used in any query statement.

Commonly implemented by Enum where each Enum represents a table found in a database, and its variants include table name and column name.

[Iden::unquoted()] must be implemented to provide a mapping between Enum variants and its corresponding string value.

use sea_query::*;

// For example Character table with column id, character, font_size...
pub enum Character {
    Table,
    Id,
    FontId,
    FontSize,
}

// Mapping between Enum variant and its corresponding string value
impl Iden for Character {
    fn unquoted(&self, s: &mut dyn std::fmt::Write) {
        write!(
            s,
            "{}",
            match self {
                Self::Table => "character",
                Self::Id => "id",
                Self::FontId => "font_id",
                Self::FontSize => "font_size",
            }
        )
        .unwrap();
    }
}

If you're okay with running another procedural macro, you can activate the derive feature on the crate to save you some boilerplate. For more usage information, look at the derive examples.

#[cfg(feature = "derive")]
use sea_query::Iden;

// This will implement Iden exactly as shown above
#[derive(Iden)]
enum Character {
    Table,
}
assert_eq!(Character::Table.to_string(), "character");

// You can also derive a unit struct
#[derive(Iden)]
struct Glyph;
assert_eq!(Glyph.to_string(), "glyph");
#[cfg(feature = "derive")]
use sea_query::{enum_def, Iden};

#[enum_def]
struct Character {
    pub foo: u64,
}

// It generates the following along with Iden impl
enum CharacterIden {
    Table,
    Foo,
}

assert_eq!(CharacterIden::Table.to_string(), "character");
assert_eq!(CharacterIden::Foo.to_string(), "foo");

Expression

Use [Expr] to construct select, join, where and having expression in query.

assert_eq!(
    Query::select()
        .column(Char::Character)
        .from(Char::Table)
        .and_where(
            Expr::expr(Expr::col(Char::SizeW).add(1))
                .mul(2)
                .eq(Expr::expr(Expr::col(Char::SizeH).div(2)).sub(1))
        )
        .and_where(
            Expr::col(Char::SizeW).in_subquery(
                Query::select()
                    .expr(Expr::cust_with_values("ln($1 ^ $2)", [2.4, 1.2]))
                    .take()
            )
        )
        .and_where(
            Expr::col(Char::Character)
                .like("D")
                .and(Expr::col(Char::Character).like("E"))
        )
        .to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    [
        r#"SELECT "character" FROM "character""#,
        r#"WHERE ("size_w" + 1) * 2 = ("size_h" / 2) - 1"#,
        r#"AND "size_w" IN (SELECT ln(2.4 ^ 1.2))"#,
        r#"AND ("character" LIKE 'D' AND "character" LIKE 'E')"#,
    ]
    .join(" ")
);

Condition

If you have complex conditions to express, you can use the [Condition] builder, usable for [ConditionalStatement::cond_where] and [SelectStatement::cond_having].

assert_eq!(
    Query::select()
        .column(Glyph::Id)
        .from(Glyph::Table)
        .cond_where(
            Cond::any()
                .add(
                    Cond::all()
                        .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Aspect).is_null())
                        .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Image).is_null())
                )
                .add(
                    Cond::all()
                        .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Aspect).is_in([3, 4]))
                        .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Image).like("A%"))
                )
        )
        .to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    [
        r#"SELECT "id" FROM "glyph""#,
        r#"WHERE"#,
        r#"("aspect" IS NULL AND "image" IS NULL)"#,
        r#"OR"#,
        r#"("aspect" IN (3, 4) AND "image" LIKE 'A%')"#,
    ]
    .join(" ")
);

There is also the [any!] and [all!] macro at your convenience:

Query::select().cond_where(any![
    Expr::col(Glyph::Aspect).is_in([3, 4]),
    all![
        Expr::col(Glyph::Aspect).is_null(),
        Expr::col(Glyph::Image).like("A%")
    ]
]);

Statement Builders

Statements are divided into 2 categories: Query and Schema, and to be serialized into SQL with [QueryStatementBuilder] and [SchemaStatementBuilder] respectively.

Schema statement has the following interface:

fn build<T: SchemaBuilder>(&self, schema_builder: T) -> String;

Query statement has the following interfaces:

fn build<T: QueryBuilder>(&self, query_builder: T) -> (String, Values);

fn to_string<T: QueryBuilder>(&self, query_builder: T) -> String;

build builds a SQL statement as string and parameters to be passed to the database driver through the binary protocol. This is the preferred way as it has less overhead and is more secure.

to_string builds a SQL statement as string with parameters injected. This is good for testing and debugging.

Query Select

let query = Query::select()
    .column(Char::Character)
    .column((Font::Table, Font::Name))
    .from(Char::Table)
    .left_join(Font::Table, Expr::col((Char::Table, Char::FontId)).equals((Font::Table, Font::Id)))
    .and_where(Expr::col(Char::SizeW).is_in([3, 4]))
    .and_where(Expr::col(Char::Character).like("A%"))
    .to_owned();

assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(MysqlQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT `character`, `font`.`name` FROM `character` LEFT JOIN `font` ON `character`.`font_id` = `font`.`id` WHERE `size_w` IN (3, 4) AND `character` LIKE 'A%'"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT "character", "font"."name" FROM "character" LEFT JOIN "font" ON "character"."font_id" = "font"."id" WHERE "size_w" IN (3, 4) AND "character" LIKE 'A%'"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(SqliteQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT "character", "font"."name" FROM "character" LEFT JOIN "font" ON "character"."font_id" = "font"."id" WHERE "size_w" IN (3, 4) AND "character" LIKE 'A%'"#
);

Query Insert

let query = Query::insert()
    .into_table(Glyph::Table)
    .columns([Glyph::Aspect, Glyph::Image])
    .values_panic([5.15.into(), "12A".into()])
    .values_panic([4.21.into(), "123".into()])
    .to_owned();

assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(MysqlQueryBuilder),
    r#"INSERT INTO `glyph` (`aspect`, `image`) VALUES (5.15, '12A'), (4.21, '123')"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"INSERT INTO "glyph" ("aspect", "image") VALUES (5.15, '12A'), (4.21, '123')"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(SqliteQueryBuilder),
    r#"INSERT INTO "glyph" ("aspect", "image") VALUES (5.15, '12A'), (4.21, '123')"#
);

Query Update

let query = Query::update()
    .table(Glyph::Table)
    .values([(Glyph::Aspect, 1.23.into()), (Glyph::Image, "123".into())])
    .and_where(Expr::col(Glyph::Id).eq(1))
    .to_owned();

assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(MysqlQueryBuilder),
    r#"UPDATE `glyph` SET `aspect` = 1.23, `image` = '123' WHERE `id` = 1"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"UPDATE "glyph" SET "aspect" = 1.23, "image" = '123' WHERE "id" = 1"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(SqliteQueryBuilder),
    r#"UPDATE "glyph" SET "aspect" = 1.23, "image" = '123' WHERE "id" = 1"#
);

Query Delete

let query = Query::delete()
    .from_table(Glyph::Table)
    .cond_where(
        Cond::any()
            .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Id).lt(1))
            .add(Expr::col(Glyph::Id).gt(10)),
    )
    .to_owned();

assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(MysqlQueryBuilder),
    r#"DELETE FROM `glyph` WHERE `id` < 1 OR `id` > 10"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"DELETE FROM "glyph" WHERE "id" < 1 OR "id" > 10"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(SqliteQueryBuilder),
    r#"DELETE FROM "glyph" WHERE "id" < 1 OR "id" > 10"#
);

Aggregate Functions

max, min, sum, avg, count etc

let query = Query::select()
    .expr(Func::sum(Expr::col((Char::Table, Char::SizeH))))
    .from(Char::Table)
    .to_owned();
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(MysqlQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT SUM(`character`.`size_h`) FROM `character`"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT SUM("character"."size_h") FROM "character""#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(SqliteQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT SUM("character"."size_h") FROM "character""#
);

Casting

let query = Query::select()
    .expr(Func::cast_as("hello", Alias::new("MyType")))
    .to_owned();

assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(MysqlQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT CAST('hello' AS MyType)"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT CAST('hello' AS MyType)"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(SqliteQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT CAST('hello' AS MyType)"#
);

Custom Function

struct MyFunction;

impl Iden for MyFunction {
    fn unquoted(&self, s: &mut dyn Write) {
        write!(s, "MY_FUNCTION").unwrap();
    }
}

let query = Query::select()
    .expr(Func::cust(MyFunction).arg(Expr::val("hello")))
    .to_owned();

assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(MysqlQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT MY_FUNCTION('hello')"#
);
assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT MY_FUNCTION('hello')"#
