SQL database abstraction layer
Swift-Kuery is a pluggable SQL database driver/SDK abstraction layer. Its main idea is to unify the APIs to the various relational databases, providing a Swifty yet SQL-like API.
While Swift-Kuery is not an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM), it provides a great basis to build an ORM. It is also useful if you don't want to commit to a specific database, allowing easy switch between databases.
Swift-Kuery is easy to learn, consumable framework that comes with a set ofimplemented plugins.
This example demonstrates how to execute an SQL query using Swift-Kuery and Swift-Kuery-PostgreSQL. It assumes there is a PostgreSQL server running on localhost:5432, that contains a table called Grades:
id | course | grade ------+-----------+------- 12345 | physics | 82 12345 | chemistry | 90 12345 | history | 98 78901 | history | 100 78901 | chemistry | 94 78901 | physics | 90 24680 | physics | 74 24680 | chemistry | 92 24680 | history | 90
First we import Swift-Kuery and Swift-Kuery-PostgreSQL:
import SwiftKuery import SwiftKueryPostgreSQL
Now we create a Table
that corresponds to our Grades table in PostgreSQL - we set the table's name and its columns:
class Grades : Table { let tableName = "Grades" let id = Column("id") let course = Column("course") let grade = Column("grade") } let grades = Grades()
Next we create a connection to PostgreSQL and connect to it. Note that the API is asynchronous:
let connection = PostgreSQLConnection(host: "localhost", port: 5432, options: [.userName("username"), .password("password")]) connection.connect() { error: QueryError in if let error = error { print(error) } else { // Build and execute your query here. }
Now lets build the query. Suppose we want to retrieve the average grades for courses with average greater than 90, and sort the results by the average ascending. Here is the SQL query we need to build:
SELECT course, ROUND(AVG(grade), 1) AS "average" FROM grades GROUP BY course HAVING AVG(grade) > 90 ORDER BY AVG(grade) ASC
Note, that we also round the average grades and alias this column in the result as "average".
Here is how to create such query using Swift-Kuery:
let query = Select(grades.course, round(avg(grades.grade), to: 1).as("average"), from: grades) .group(by: grades.course) .having(avg(grades.grade) > 90) .order(by: .ASC(avg(grades.grade)))
As you can see, it is very similar to the SQL query syntax.
Now we execute the created query on our PostgreSQL connection:
connection.execute(query: query) { result: QueryResult in if let resultSet = queryResult.asResultSet { for title in resultSet.titles { // The column names of the result. } for row in resultSet.rows { for value in row { ... } } } else if let queryError = result.asError { // Something went wrong. } }
The expected result is:
course average chemistry 92.0 history 96.0
Lets see more examples of how to build and execute SQL queries using Swift-Kuery.
class T1 { let tableName = "t1" let a = Column("a") let b = Column("b") } class T2 { let tableName = "t2" let c = Column("c") let b = Column("b") }
