Purpose

DBInterface.jl provides interface definitions to allow common database operations to be implemented consistently across various database packages.

For Users

To use DBInterface.jl, select an implementing database package, then utilize the consistent DBInterface.jl interface methods:

conn = DBInterface.connect(T, args...; kw...) # create a connection to a specific database T; required parameters are database-specific

stmt = DBInterface.prepare(conn, sql) # prepare a sql statement against the connection; returns a statement object

results = DBInterface.execute(stmt) # execute a prepared statement; returns an iterator of rows (property-accessible & indexable)

rowid = DBInterface.lastrowid(results) # get the last row id of an INSERT statement, as supported by the database

# example of using a query resultset
for row in results
    @show propertynames(row) # see possible column names of row results
    row.col1 # access the value of a column named `col1`
    row[1] # access the first column in the row results
end

# results also implicitly satisfy the Tables.jl `Tables.rows` inteface, so any compatible sink can ingest results
df = DataFrame(results)
CSV.write("results.csv", results)

results = DBInterface.execute(conn, sql) # convenience method if statement preparation/re-use isn't needed

stmt = DBInterface.prepare(conn, "INSERT INTO test_table VALUES(?, ?)") # prepare a statement with positional parameters

DBInterface.execute(stmt, [1, 3.14]) # execute the prepared INSERT statement, passing 1 and 3.14 as positional parameters

stmt = DBInterface.prepare(conn, "INSERT INTO test_table VALUES(:col1, :col2)") # prepare a statement with named parameters

DBInterface.execute(stmt, (col1=1, col2=3.14)) # execute the prepared INSERT statement, with 1 and 3.14 as named parameters

DBInterface.executemany(stmt, (col1=[1,2,3,4,5], col2=[3.14, 1.23, 2.34 3.45, 4.56])) # execute the prepared statement multiple times for each set of named parameters; each named parameter must be an indexable collection

results = DBInterface.executemultiple(conn, sql) # where sql is a query that returns multiple resultsets

# first iterate through resultsets
for result in results
    # for each resultset, we can iterate through resultset rows
    for row in result
        @show propertynames(row)
        row.col1
        row[1]
    end
end

DBInterface.close!(stmt) # close the prepared statement
DBInterface.close!(conn) # close connection
