MyXQL

MySQL driver for Elixir.

Features

Automatic decoding and encoding of Elixir values to and from MySQL text and binary protocols
Supports transactions, prepared queries, streaming, pooling and more via DBConnection
Supports MySQL 5.5+, 8.0, and MariaDB 10.3
Supports mysql_native_password, sha256_password (*), and caching_sha256_password (*) authentication plugins

* Requires either SSL connection or the server must exchange it's public key during handshake.

Usage

Add :myxql to your dependencies:

def deps() do
  [
    {:myxql, "~> 0.2.0"}
  ]
end

iex> {:ok, pid} = MyXQL.start_link(username: "root")
iex> MyXQL.query!(pid, "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS blog")

iex> {:ok, pid} = MyXQL.start_link(username: "root", database: "blog")
iex> MyXQL.query!(pid, "CREATE TABLE posts IF NOT EXISTS (id serial primary key, title text)")

iex> MyXQL.query!(pid, "INSERT INTO posts (`title`) VALUES ('Post 1')")
%MyXQL.Result{columns: nil, connection_id: 11204,, last_insert_id: 1, num_rows: 1, num_warnings: 0, rows: nil}

iex> MyXQL.query(pid, "INSERT INTO posts (`title`) VALUES (?), (?)", ["Post 2", "Post 3"])
%MyXQL.Result{columns: nil, connection_id: 11204, last_insert_id: 2, num_rows: 2, num_warnings: 0, rows: nil}

iex> MyXQL.query(pid, "SELECT * FROM posts")
{:ok,
 %MyXQL.Result{
   columns: ["id", "title"],
   connection_id: 11204,
   last_insert_id: nil,
   num_rows: 3,
   num_warnings: 0,
   rows: [[1, "Post 1"], [2, "Post 2"], [3, "Post 3"]]
 }}

It's recommended to start MyXQL under supervision tree:

defmodule MyApp.Application do
  use Application

  def start(_type, _args) do
    children = [
      {MyXQL, username: "root", name: :myxql}
    ]

    Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
  end
end

and then we can refer to it by it's :name:

iex> MyXQL.query!(:myxql, "SELECT NOW()").rows
[[~N[2018-12-28 13:42:31]]]

Data representation

MySQL           Elixir
-----           ------
NULL            nil
bool            1 | 0
int             42
float           42.0
decimal         #Decimal<42.0> *
date            ~D[2013-10-12]
time            ~T[00:37:14]
datetime        ~N[2013-10-12 00:37:14] **
timestamp       #DateTime<2013-10-12 00:37:14Z>
json            %{"foo" => "bar"}
char            "é"
text            "myxql"
binary          <<1, 2, 3>>
bit             <<1::size(1), 0::size(1)>>

* See Decimal

** datetime fields are represented as NaiveDateTime, however a UTC DateTime can be used for encoding as well

JSON support

MyXQL comes with JSON support out of the box via the Jason library. To use it, add :jason to your dependencies:

{:jason, "~> 1.0"}

You can customize it to use another library via the :json_library configuration:

config :myxql, :json_library, SomeJSONModule

Contributing

git clone git@github.com:elixir-ecto/myxql.git
cd myxql
mix deps.get
