Quaint

Quaint is an abstraction over certain SQL databases. It provides:

• An AST for building dynamic SQL queries.
• Visitors for different databases to generate SQL strings.
• Connectors to abstract over results and querying.
• Pooling with mobc
• Async/await and Futures 0.3

Documentation

• Released
• Main

Feature flags

• mysql: Support for MySQL databases.
• postgresql: Support for PostgreSQL databases.
• sqlite: Support for SQLite databases.
• mssql: Support for Microsoft SQL Server databases.
• pooled: A connection pool in pooled::Quaint.
• json: JSON type support with serde_json crate.
• uuid: UUID type support with uuid crate.
• chrono: DateTime type support with chrono crate.
• serde-support: Deserialize support from result set with serde crate.
• bigdecimal: Numeric values can be read as BigDecimal.
• vendored-openssl: Statically links against a vendored OpenSSL library on non-Windows or non-Apple platforms.
• fmt-sql: Enables logging SQL queries formatted. The FMT_SQL env var must be present for the formatting to be enabled.

Goals:

• Query generation when the database and conditions are not known beforehand.
• Parameterized queries and SQL injection protection.
• A modular design, a separate AST and separate visitors and connectors.

Non-goals:

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

For type-safe database abstraction, Diesel is an excellent choice.

Testing:

• See .envrc for connection params. Override variables if different. MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server needs to be running for tests to succeed.

Then:

> cargo test

Query debug

The queries can be logged by setting the LOG_QUERIES environment variable to any value. They'll be logged at the INFO level and are visible when having a logger in scope.

The FMT_SQL environment variable can be used to log formatted SQL queries. Beware, the fmt-sql feature must be enabled too.
