Common db api for crystal. You will need to have a specific driver to access a database.
* [sqlite](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal-sqlite3)
* [mysql](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal-mysql)
* [postgres](https://github.com/will/crystal-pg)

## Installation

If you are creating a shard that will work with _any_ driver, then add `crystal-db` as a dependency in `shard.yml`:

If you are creating an application that will work with _some specific_ driver(s), then add them in `shard.yml`:

`crystal-db` itself will be a nested dependency if drivers are included.
Note: Multiple drivers can be included in the same application.

## Usage
Since this is an abstract db api, its usage is through a concrete database driver.
This shard only provides an abstract database API. In order to use it, a specific driver for the intended database has to be required as well:
The following example uses SQLite where `?` indicates the arguments. If PostgreSQL is used `$1`, `$2`, etc. should be used. `crystal-db` does not interpret the statements.
```crystal
require "db"

## Roadmap
Issues not yet addressed
Issues not yet addressed:
- [x] Support non prepared statements. [#25](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal-db/pull/25)
- [x] Time data type. (implementation details depends on actual drivers)
- [x] Data type extensibility. Allow each driver to extend the data types allowed.
- [x] Transactions & nested transactions. [#27](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal-db/pull/27)
- [x] Connection pool.
- [ ] Logging
- [ ] Direct access to `IO` to avoid memory allocation for blobs.
