Quaint

Quaint is an abstraction over certain SQL databases. It provides:

• An AST for building dynamic SQL queries.
• Visitors for different databases to generate SQL strings.
• Connectors to abstract over results and querying.
• Pooling with mobc
• Async/await and Futures 0.3

Documentation

• Released
• Master

Feature flags

• full: All connectors and a pooled Quaint manager
• full-postgresql: Pooled support for PostgreSQL
• full-mysql: Pooled support for MySQL
• full-sqlite: Pooled support for SQLite
• single: All connectors, but no pooling
• single-postgresql: Single connection support for PostgreSQL
• single-mysql: Single connection support for MySQL
• single-sqlite: Single connection support for SQLite

Goals:

• Query generation when the database and conditions are not known beforehand.
• Parameterized queries and SQL injection protection.
• A modular design, a separate AST and separate visitors and connectors.

Non-goals:

• Database-level type-safety in query building or being an ORM.

For type-safe database abstraction, Diesel is an excellent choice.

Testing:

• See .envrc for connection params. Override variables if different. MySQL and PostgreSQL needs to be running for tests to succeed.

Then:

``` sh

cargo test ```
