Sqlify

Build status Nuget Package

Fluent SQL builder library.

  • Just start build SQL query from Sql or PgSql classes.
  • Use Sqlify.Dapper library allowing Sqlify and Dapper to be used together.

Features:

  • SELECT, DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE queries
  • WHERE, JOIN, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, HAVING BY clauses
  • LIKE, EXISTS, IN, BETWEEN predicates
  • COUNT, SUM, MAX, MIN, AVG, CAST functions
  • UNION queries
  • Multiple queries
  • Table and Column aliases
  • SQL injections free
  • Partial PostgreSQL dialect support
  • Strongly typed (checked at compile time)
  • GC friendly

Getting started

// Create model for table Users with columns: Id, Name
public interface IUsersTable : ITable
{
    Column<int> Id { get; }
    Column<string> Name { get; }
}

var u = Sql.Table<IUsersTable>();

// INSERT INTO Users (Id, Name) VALUES (@p1, @p2)
var insertQuery = Sql
    .Insert(u)
    .Values(u.Id, 1)
    .Values(u.Name, "Alex");

// SELECT * FRO Users
var selectQuery = Sql
    .Select()
    .From(b);

// UPDATE Users SET Name = @p1 WHERE Users.Id = @p2
var updateQuery = Sql
    .Update(u)
    .Set(u.Name, "John")
    .Where(u.Id == 1);

// DELETE FROM Users WHERE Users.Id = @p1
var deleteQuery = Sql
    .Delete(u)
    .Where(u.Id == 1);

Examples

Schema definition

As an example, consider the following database schema (authors and books tables with one-to-many relationship):

CREATE TABLE authors (
    id integer PRIMARY KEY,
    name varchar(64)
)

CREATE TABLE books (
    id integer PRIMARY KEY,
    name varchar(512),
    author_id integer REFERENCES authors (id), -- one-to-many relationship
    rating real,
    qty integer
)

For these tables create corresponding interfaces:

[Table("authors")]
public interface IAuthorsTable : ITable
{
    [Column("id")]
    Column<int> Id { get; }

    [Column("name")]
    Column<string> Name { get; }
}

[Table("books")]
public interface IBooksTable : ITable
{
    [Column("id")]
    Column<int> Id { get; }

    [Column("name")]
    Column<string> Name { get; }

    [Column("author_id")]
    Column<int> AuthorId { get; }

    [Column("rating")]
    Column<double> Rating { get; }

    [Column("qty")]
    Column<int> Quantity { get; }
}

If the names of the columns in the database are the same as the names of the properties in models, then using TableAttribute and ColumnAttrubute are optional.

For example, for schema:

CREATE TABLE Authors (
    Id integer PRIMARY KEY,
    Name varchar(64),
    BooksCount integer
)

you can define table like:

public interface IAuthorsTable : ITable
{
    Column<int> Id { get; }

    Column<int> Name { get; }

    Column<int> BooksCount { get; }
}
