Carbunql 0.3.0

Carbunql

This C# library provides a feature to convert a selection query into an object. By objectifying, it becomes easier to modify the selection query and perform more complex manipulations such as adding join expressions.

Using this library allows for a more versatile use of existing selection queries.

Demo

This code adds an inner join expression to an existing select query and also adds a where condition.

Note that no DBMS is required to run this demo.

using Carbunql;
using Carbunql.Building;
using Carbunql.Clauses;

// Convert select query to SelectQuery class.
SelectQuery sq = new SelectQuery("select s.sale_id, s.shop_id, s.sale_price from sales s");

/*
 Use the "ToCommand" method to convert the SelectQuery class to a SQL statement.

    SELECT
        s.sale_id,
        s.sale_price
    FROM
        sales AS s
 */
Console.WriteLine(sq.ToCommand().CommandText);

//Getting the From clause.
FromClause from = sq.FromClause!;

//Get the root table defined in the From clause.
SelectableTable s = from.Root;

//Inner join with "shops" master.
//The column used in the join expression is "shop_id".
SelectableTable sh = from.InnerJoin("shops").As("sh").On(s, "shop_id");

//Add column "shop_name" in "shops" master to select columns.
sq.Select(sh, "shop_name");

//Added extraction condition to where clause.
string parameterName = sq.AddParameter(":shop_id", 1);
sq.Where(sh, "shop_id").Equal(parameterName);

/*
 The result written back to the select query.

	SELECT
	    s.sale_id,
	    s.shop_id,
	    s.sale_price,
	    sh.shop_name
	FROM
	    sales AS s
	    INNER JOIN shops AS sh ON s.shop_id = sh.shop_id
	WHERE
	    sh.shop_id = :shop_id
*/
Console.WriteLine(sq.ToCommand().CommandText);

/*
 You can also get parameters from the ToCommand method.
 
 　　:shop_id = 1
 */
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object?> prm in sq.ToCommand().Parameters)
{
	Console.WriteLine($"{prm.Key} = {prm.Value}");
}

/*
 If you use "Carbunql.Dapper", you can execute SQL as SelectQuery class.
 https://www.nuget.org/packages/Carbunql.Dapper
 */
//var cn = IDbConnection;
//cn.Execute(sq);

It is also possible to convert existing queries into subqueries and CTEs. Additionally, you can convert them to add, update, delete, and merge queries.

Please refer to the online site for the above conversion demo.

Features

• Supports parsing select queries without using a DBMS
• DBMS agnostic
• Supports processing select queries

Constraints

• Minimum grammar check
• Only select queries can be parsed
• Comment is removed

If you want to execute modified queries, please use the Dapper library "Carbunql.Dapper".

Getting started

PM> Install-Package Carbunql

Parse

Just pass the select query string to the constructor of the SelectQuery class.

using Carbunql;

var text = @"
select a.column_1 as col1, a.column_2 as col2
from table_a as a
left join table_b as b on a.id = b.table_a_id
where b.table_a_id is null
";

var sq = new SelectQuery(text);
string sql = sq.ToCommand().CommandText;

SELECT
    a.column_1 AS col1,
    a.column_2 AS col2
FROM
    table_a AS a
    LEFT JOIN table_b AS b ON a.id = b.table_a_id
WHERE
    b.table_a_id IS null

Building

You can build using the SelectQuery class.

using Carbunql;
using Carbunql.Building;

var sq = new SelectQuery();

// from clause
var (from, a) = sq.From("table_a").As("a");
var b = from.InnerJoin("table_b").As("b").On(a, "table_a_id");
var c = from.LeftJoin("table_c").As("c").On(b, "table_b_id");

// select clause
sq.Select(a, "id").As("a_id");
sq.Select(b, "table_a_id").As("b_id");

// where clause
sq.Where(a, "id").Equal(":id").And(b, "is_visible").True().And(c, "table_b_id").IsNull();

// parameter
sq.Parameters.Add(":id", 1);

string sql = sq.ToCommand().CommandText;

/*
    :id = 1
*/
SELECT
    a.id AS a_id,
    b.table_a_id AS b_id
FROM
    table_a AS a
    INNER JOIN table_b AS b ON a.table_a_id = b.table_a_id
    LEFT JOIN table_c AS c ON b.table_b_id = c.table_b_id
WHERE
    a.id = :id
    AND b.is_visible = true
    AND c.table_b_id IS null

Build subquery

using Carbunql;
using Carbunql.Building;

var sq = new SelectQuery();
sq.From(() =>
{
    var x = new SelectQuery();
    x.From("table_a").As("a");
    x.SelectAll();
    return x;
}).As("b");
sq.SelectAll();

string sql = sq.ToCommand().CommandText;

SELECT
    *
FROM
    (
        SELECT
            *
        FROM
            table_a AS a
    ) AS b

Build condition

using Carbunql;
using Carbunql.Building;
using Carbunql.Values;

var sq = new SelectQuery();
var (from, a) = sq.From("table_a").As("a");
sq.SelectAll();

sq.Where(() =>
{
    // a.id = 1 and a.value = 2
    var c1 = new ColumnValue(a, "id").Equal(1);
    c1.And(a, "value").Equal(2));

    // a.value = 3 and a.value = 4
    var c2 = new ColumnValue(a, "id").Equal(3);
    c2.And(a, "value").Equal(4);

    // (
    //     (a.id = 1 and a.value = 2)
    //     or
    //     (a.value = 3 and a.value = 4)
    // )
    return c1.ToGroup().Or(c2.ToGroup()).ToGroup();
});

string sql = sq.ToCommand().CommandText;

SELECT
    *
FROM
    table_a AS a
WHERE
    ((a.id = 1 AND a.value = 2) OR (a.id = 3 AND a.value = 4))

Build exists

using Carbunql;
using Carbunql.Building;

var sq = new SelectQuery();
var (from, a) = sq.From("table_a").As("a");
sq.SelectAll();
sq.Where(() =>
{
    var x = new SelectQuery();
    var (_, b) = x.From("table_b").As("b");
    x.SelectAll();
    x.Where(b, "id").Equal(a, "id");
    return x.ToExists();
});
sq.Where(() =>
{
    var x = new SelectQuery();
    var (_, b) = x.From("table_b").As("b");
    x.SelectAll();
    x.Where(b, "id").Equal(a, "id");
    return x.ToNotExists();
});

string sql = sq.ToCommand().CommandText;

SELECT
    *
FROM
    table_a AS a
WHERE
    EXISTS (
        SELECT
            *
        FROM
            table_b AS b
        WHERE
            b.id = a.id
    )
    AND NOT EXISTS (
        SELECT
            *
        FROM
            table_b AS b
        WHERE
            b.id = a.id
    )

Build CTE

using Carbunql;
using Carbunql.Building;

var sq = new SelectQuery();

// a as (select * from table_a)
var ct_a = sq.With(() =>
{
    var q = new SelectQuery();
    q.From("table_a");
    q.SelectAll();
    return q;
}).As("a");

// b as (select * from table_b)
var ct_b = sq.With(() =>
{
    var q = new SelectQuery();
    q.From("table_b");
    q.SelectAll();
    return q;
}).As("b");

// select * from a iner join b a.id = b.id
var (from, a) = sq.From(ct_a).As("a");
from.InnerJoin(ct_b).On(a, "id");

sq.SelectAll();

string sql = sq.ToCommand().CommandText;

WITH
    a AS (
        SELECT
            *
        FROM
            table_a
    ),
    b AS (
        SELECT
            *
        FROM
            table_b
    )
SELECT
    *
FROM
    a
    INNER JOIN b ON a.id = b.id
