What is MySQLDriver for Swift?

Have you ever wanted to connect to a MySQL Database from Swift without using the C client? Well, now you can. MySQLDriver for Swift is a native driver, written in Swift programming language. Using this driver you can connect directly to a MySQL Database Server from your Swift code. You can use it on a Mac, iOS Device and Linux.

How to start?

//create the connection object
let con = MySQL.Connection()
let db_name = "swift_test"

do{
  // open a new connection
  try con.open("localhost", user: "test", passwd: "test")

  // create a new database for tests, use exec since we don't expect any results
  try con.exec("DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS " + db_name)
  try con.exec("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS " + db_name)

  // select the database
  try con.use(db_name)
  
  // create a table for our tests
  try con.exec("CREATE TABLE test (id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, age INT, cash FLOAT, name VARCHAR(30), PRIMARY KEY (id))")
  
  // prepare a new statement for insert
  let ins_stmt = try con.prepare("INSERT INTO test(age, cash, name) VALUES(?,?,?)")
  
  // prepare a new statement for select
  let select_stmt = try con.prepare("SELECT * FROM test WHERE Id=?")

  // insert 300 rows
  for i in 1...300 {
    // use a int, float and a string
    try ins_stmt.exec([10+i, Float(i)/3.0, "name for \(i)"])
  }
  
  // read rows 30 to 60
  for i in 30...60 {
    do {
      // send query
      let res = try select_stmt.query([i])
      
      //read all rows from the resultset
      let rows = try res.readAllRows()
      
      // print the rows
      print(rows)
    }
    catch (let err) {
      // if we get a error print it out
      print(err)
    }
  }
  try con.close()
}
catch (let e) {
  print(e)
}

Create a table from a Swift Object

// create a new Table object with name on a connection
let table = MySQL.Table(tableName: "createtable_obj", connection: con)
// drop the table if it exists
try table.drop()
          
// declare a new Swft Object with various types
struct obj {
  var iint8 : Int8 = -1
  var uint8: UInt8 = 1
  var int16 : Int16 = -1
  var uint16: UInt16 = 1
  var id:Int = 1
  var count:UInt = 10
  var uint64 : UInt64 = 19999999999
  var int64 : Int64 = -19999999999
  var ffloat : Float = 1.1
  var ddouble : Double = 1.1
  var ddate = NSDate()
  var str = "test string"
  var ddata = "test data".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!
}

// create a new object
let o = obj()
 
// create the MySQL Table based on the Swift object
try table.create(o)

// create a table with given primaryKey and auto_increment set to true
try table.create(o, primaryKey: "id", autoInc: true)

Create a table from a MySQL.Row

// create a new Table object with name on a connection
let table = MySQL.Table(tableName: "createtable_row", connection: con)
// drop the table if it exists
try table.drop()

// declare a new MySQL.Row with various types
let obj : MySQL.Row = [
      "oint": Int?(0),
      "iint8" : Int8(-1),
      "uint8": UInt8(1),
      "int16" : Int16(-1),
      "uint16": UInt16(100),
      "id":Int(1),
      "count":UInt?(10),
      "uint64" : UInt64(19999999999),
      "int64" : Int64(-19999999999),
      "ffloat" : Float(1.1),
      "ddouble" : Double(1.1),
      "ddate" : NSDate(dateString: "2015-11-10"),
      "str" : "test string",
      "nsdata" : "test data".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!,
      "uint8_array" : [UInt8]("test data uint8 array".utf8),
]

// create the MySQL Table based on MySQL.Row object
try table.create(obj)

// create a table with given primaryKey and auto_increment set to true
try table.create(o, primaryKey: "id", autoInc: true)

Insert a Swift Object or a MySQL.Row into a table

try table.insert(o)

Update a Swift Object using a key property

o.iint8 = -100
o.uint8 = 100
o.int16 = -100
o.iint32 = -200

try table.update(o, key:"id")

Update a MySQL.Row using a key property

obj["iint32"] = 4000
obj["iint16"] = Int16(-100)
            
try table.update(obj, key: "id")

Select Rows from a Table

// insert 100 objects
for i in 1...100 {
    o.str = "test string \(i)"
    try table.insert(o)
}


// select all rows from the table given a condition
if let rows = try table.select(Where: ["id=",90, "or id=",91, "or id>",95]) {
    print(rows)
}

// select rows specifying the columns we want and a select condition
if let rows = try table.select(["str", "uint8_array"], Where: ["id=",90, "or id=",91, "or id>",95]) {
    print(rows)
}

Create a MySQL Connection Pool

// create a connection pool with 10 connections using con as prototype
let connPool = try MySQL.ConnectionPool(num: 10, connection: con)
//create a table object using the connection
let table = MySQL.Table(tableName: "xctest_conn_pool", connection: con)
// drop the table if it exists
try table.drop()

// declare a Swift object
class obj {
  var id:Int?
  var val : Int = 1
}
            
// create a new object
let o = obj()
// create a new MySQL Table using the object 
try table.create(o, primaryKey: "id", autoInc: true)
            
// do 500 async inserts using the connections pool
for i in 1...500 {
  dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND, 0), {
  //get a connection from the pool
    if let c = connPool.getConnection() {
    // get a Table reference using the connection from the pool
      let t = MySQL.Table(tableName: "xctest_conn_pool", connection: c)
      do {
        let o = obj()
        o.val = i
        // insert the object
        try t.insert(o)
      }
      catch {
        print(error)
        XCTAssertNil(error)
        connPool.free(c)
      }
      // release the connection to the pool
      connPool.free(c)
    }
  })
}
