Rust Firebird Client

Build Crate API

A Firebird client library to Rust programing language

How to use it

  1. Start by choosing the lib variation you want rust // To use the offcial ('native') Firebird client .dll/.so/.dylib // (needs to find dll at build time) rsfbclient::builder_native().with_dyn_link() // Or using dynamic loading rsfbclient::builder_native().with_dyn_load("/my/firebird/here/lib/libfbclient.so") // Or using the pure rust implementation rsfbclient::builder_pure_rust()

  2. Set your connection params rust // For a remote server, using a dynamically linked native client let mut conn = rsfbclient::builder_native() .with_dyn_link() .with_remote() .host("my.host.com.br") .db_name("awesome.fdb") .connect()? // Or if you need a embedded/local only access let mut conn = rsfbclient::builder_native() .with_dyn_link() .with_embedded() .db_name("/path/to/awesome.fdb") .connect()?

You also can choose a string connection configuration rust // Using the native Firebird client rsfbclient::builder_native() .from_string("firebird://SYSDBA:masterkey@my.host.com.br:3050/awesome.fdb?charset=ascii") // Or using the pure rust implementation rsfbclient::builder_pure_rust() .from_string("firebird://SYSDBA:masterkey@my.host.com.br:3050/awesome.fdb?charset=ascii")

  1. Now you can use the lib rust let rows = conn.query_iter("select col_a, col_b, col_c from test", ())?; ...

Cargo features

All features can be used at the same time if needed.

linking

Will use the dynamic library of the official fbclient at runtime and compiletime. Used in systems where there is already a firebird client installed and configured.

dynamic_loading

Can find the official fbclient native library by path at runtime, does not need the library at compiletime. Useful when you need to build in a system without a firebird client installed.

pure_rust

Uses a pure rust implementation of the firebird wire protocol, does not need the native library at all. Useful for cross-compilation and allow a single binary to be deployed without needing to install the firebird client.
