Packages
SQL provides state-of-the-art, high-performance SQL integration for Elixir, built to handle extreme concurrency with unmatched expressiveness and ergonomic query composition. Write safe, composable, parameterized queries directly, without translating to Ecto or any ORM.

<!-- MDOC !-->
Brings an extensible SQL parser and sigil to Elixir, confidently write SQL with automatic parameterized queries.
- Lower the barrier for DBAs to contribute in your codebase, without having to translate SQL to Ecto.Query.
- Composable queries, no need for you to remember, when to start with select or from.
- Interpolation-al queries, don't fiddle with fragments and `?`.
## Examples
```elixir
iex(1)> email = "john@example.com"
"john@example.com"
iex(2)> ~SQL[from users] |> ~SQL[where email = {{email}}] |> ~SQL"select id, email"
~SQL"""
select
id,
email
from
users
where
email = {{email}}
"""
iex(3)> sql = ~SQL[from users where email = {{email}} select id, email]
~SQL"""
select
id,
email
from
users
where
email = {{email}}
"""
iex(4)> to_sql(sql)
{"select id, email from users where email = ?", ["john@example.com"]}
iex(5)> to_string(sql)
"select id, email from users where email = ?"
iex(6)> inspect(sql)
"~SQL\"\"\"\nselect\n id, \n email\nfrom\n users\nwhere\n email = {{email}}\n\"\"\""
```
### Leverage the Enumerable protocol in your repository
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Repo do
use Ecto.Repo, otp_app: :myapp, adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres
use SQL, adapter: SQL.Adapters.Postgres
defimpl Enumerable, for: SQL do
def count(_enumerable) do
{:error, __MODULE__}
end
def member?(_enumerable, _element) do
{:error, __MODULE__}
end
def reduce(%SQL{} = enumerable, _acc, _fun) do
{sql, params} = SQL.to_sql(enumerable)
result = __MODULE__.query!(sql, params)
{:done, Enum.map(result.rows, &Map.new(Enum.zip(result.columns, &1)))}
end
def slice(_enumerable) do
{:error, __MODULE__}
end
end
end
iex(1)> Enum.map(~SQL[from users select *], &IO.inspect/1)
%{"id" => 1, "email" => "john@example.com"}
%{"id" => 2, "email" => "jane@example.com"}
[%{"id" => 1, "email" => "john@example.com"}, %{"id" => 2, "email" => "jane@example.com"}]
```
## Benchmark
You can find benchmark results [here](https://github.com/elixir-dbvisor/sql/benchmarks) or run `mix sql.bench`
## Installation
If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed
by adding `sql` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:sql, "~> 0.3.0"}
]
end
```
Documentation can be generated with [ExDoc](https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc)
and published on [HexDocs](https://hexdocs.pm). Once published, the docs can
be found at <https://hexdocs.pm/sql>.
