# crystal-db
Common db api for crystal. You will need to 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
Add this to your application's `shard.yml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
db:
github: crystal-lang/crystal-db
```
## Documentation
* [Latest API](http://crystal-lang.github.io/crystal-db/api/latest/)
* [Crystal book](https://crystal-lang.org/docs/database/)
## Usage
Since this is an abstract db api, it's usage is through a concrete database driver.
```crystal
require "db"
require "sqlite3"
DB.open "sqlite3:./file.db" do |db|
# When using the pg driver, use $1, $2, etc. instead of ?
db.exec "create table contacts (name text, age integer)"
db.exec "insert into contacts values (?, ?)", "John Doe", 30
args = [] of DB::Any
args << "Sarah"
args << 33
db.exec "insert into contacts values (?, ?)", args
puts "max age:"
puts db.scalar "select max(age) from contacts" # => 33
puts "contacts:"
db.query "select name, age from contacts order by age desc" do |rs|
puts "#{rs.column_name(0)} (#{rs.column_name(1)})"
# => name (age)
rs.each do
puts "#{rs.read(String)} (#{rs.read(Int32)})"
# => Sarah (33)
# => John Doe (30)
end
end
end
```
## Roadmap
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.
- [ ] Direct access to `IO` to avoid memory allocation for blobs.
