<!-- 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\"\"\""
```
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Accounts do
use SQL, adapter: SQL.Adapters.Postgres, repo: MyApp.Repo
def list_users() do
~SQL[from users select *]
|> SQL.map(fn row, columns, repo -> repo.load(User, {columns, row}) end)
|> Enum.to_list()
end
end
iex(1)> MyApp.Accounts.list_users()
[%User{id: 1, email: "john@example.com"}, %User{id: 2, email: "jane@example.com"}]
```
## Compile time warning
run `mix sql.get` to generate your `sql.lock` file which is used for error reporting.
```elixir
==> myapp
Compiling 1 file (.ex)
warning:
the relation OPS does not exist
the relation email is mentioned 2 times but does not exist
the relation users does not exist
~SQL"""
select
email,
1 + "OPS"
from
users
where
email = 'john@example.com'

## Benchmark
You can find benchmark results [here](https://github.com/elixir-dbvisor/sql/benchmarks) or run `mix sql.bench`
## Installation
The package can be installed by adding `sql` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:sql, "~> 0.4.0"}
]
end
```
