Link to this macrocallback __before_compile__(env) View Source
__before_compile__(term(), env :: Macro.Env.t()) :: Macro.t()

The callback invoked in case the adapter needs to inject code.

Link to this callback autogenerate(field_type) View Source
autogenerate(field_type :: :id | :binary_id | :embed_id) ::
  term() | nil | no_return()

Called to autogenerate a value for id/embed_id/binary_id.

Returns the autogenerated value, or nil if it must be autogenerated inside the storage or raise if not supported.

Link to this callback child_spec(repo, options) View Source
child_spec(repo(), options()) :: :supervisor.child_spec()

Returns the childspec that starts the adapter process.

Link to this callback delete(repo, schema_meta, filters, options) View Source
delete(repo(), schema_meta(), filters(), options()) ::
  {:ok, fields()} | {:invalid, constraints()} | {:error, :stale} | no_return()

Deletes a single struct with the given filters.

While filters can be any record column, it is expected that at least the primary key (or any other key that uniquely identifies an existing record) be given as a filter. Therefore, in case there is no record matching the given filters, {:error, :stale} is returned.

Link to this callback dumpers(primitive_type, ecto_type) View Source
dumpers(primitive_type :: Ecto.Type.primitive(), ecto_type :: Ecto.Type.t()) ::
  [(term() -> {:ok, term()} | :error) | Ecto.Type.t()]

Returns the dumpers for a given type.

It receives the primitive type and the Ecto type (which may be primitive as well). It returns a list of dumpers with the given type usually at the beginning.

This allows developers to properly translate values coming from the Ecto into adapter ones. For example, if the database does not support booleans but instead returns 0 and 1 for them, you could add:

def dumpers(:boolean, type), do: [type, &bool_encode/1]
def dumpers(_primitive, type), do: [type]

defp bool_encode(false), do: {:ok, 0}
defp bool_encode(true), do: {:ok, 1}

All adapters are required to implement a clause or :binary_id types, since they are adapter specific. If your adapter does not provide binary ids, you may simply use Ecto.UUID:

def dumpers(:binary_id, type), do: [type, Ecto.UUID]
def dumpers(_primitive, type), do: [type]
Link to this callback ensure_all_started(repo, type) View Source
ensure_all_started(repo(), type :: :application.restart_type()) ::
  {:ok, [atom()]} | {:error, atom()}

Ensure all applications necessary to run the adapter are started.

Link to this callback execute(repo, query_meta, query, params, arg4, options) View Source
execute(
  repo(),
  query_meta(),
  query,
  params :: list(),
  process() | nil,
  options()
) :: result
when result: {integer(), [[term()]] | nil} | no_return(),
     query:
       {:nocache, prepared()}
       | {:cached, (prepared() -> :ok), cached()}
       | {:cache, (cached() -> :ok), prepared()}

Executes a previously prepared query.

It must return a tuple containing the number of entries and the result set as a list of lists. The result set may also be nil if a particular operation does not support them.

The meta field is a map containing some of the fields found in the Ecto.Query struct.

It receives a process function that should be invoked for each selected field in the query result in order to convert them to the expected Ecto type. The process function will be nil if no result set is expected from the query.

Link to this callback insert(repo, schema_meta, fields, on_conflict, returning, options) View Source
insert(repo(), schema_meta(), fields(), on_conflict(), returning(), options()) ::
  {:ok, fields()} | {:invalid, constraints()} | no_return()

Inserts a single new struct in the data store.

Autogenerate

The primary key will be automatically included in returning if the field has type :id or :binary_id and no value was set by the developer or none was autogenerated by the adapter.

Link to this callback insert_all(repo, schema_meta, header, list, on_conflict, returning, options) View Source
insert_all(
  repo(),
  schema_meta(),
  header :: [atom()],
  [fields()],
  on_conflict(),
  returning(),
  options()
) :: {integer(), [[term()]] | nil} | no_return()

Inserts multiple entries into the data store.

Link to this callback loaders(primitive_type, ecto_type) View Source
loaders(primitive_type :: Ecto.Type.primitive(), ecto_type :: Ecto.Type.t()) ::
  [(term() -> {:ok, term()} | :error) | Ecto.Type.t()]

Returns the loaders for a given type.

It receives the primitive type and the Ecto type (which may be primitive as well). It returns a list of loaders with the given type usually at the end.

This allows developers to properly translate values coming from the adapters into Ecto ones. For example, if the database does not support booleans but instead returns 0 and 1 for them, you could add:

def loaders(:boolean, type), do: [&bool_decode/1, type]
def loaders(_primitive, type), do: [type]

defp bool_decode(0), do: {:ok, false}
defp bool_decode(1), do: {:ok, true}

All adapters are required to implement a clause for :binary_id types, since they are adapter specific. If your adapter does not provide binary ids, you may simply use Ecto.UUID:

def loaders(:binary_id, type), do: [Ecto.UUID, type]
def loaders(_primitive, type), do: [type]
Link to this callback prepare(atom, query) View Source
prepare(atom :: :all | :update_all | :delete_all, query :: Ecto.Query.t()) ::
  {:cache, prepared()} | {:nocache, prepared()}

Commands invoked to prepare a query for all, update_all and delete_all.

The returned result is given to execute/6.

Link to this callback update(repo, schema_meta, fields, filters, returning, options) View Source
update(repo(), schema_meta(), fields(), filters(), returning(), options()) ::
  {:ok, fields()} | {:invalid, constraints()} | {:error, :stale} | no_return()

Updates a single struct with the given filters.

While filters can be any record column, it is expected that at least the primary key (or any other key that uniquely identifies an existing record) be given as a filter. Therefore, in case there is no record matching the given filters, {:error, :stale} is returned.
