### Squirrel is "complete".
|
|||
|
|
Bug fixes will still be merged (slowly). Bug reports are welcome, but I will not necessarily respond to them. If another fork (or substantially similar project) actively improves on what Squirrel does, let me know and I may link to it here.

# Squirrel - fluent SQL generator for Go
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```go
|
|||
|
|
import "github.com/Masterminds/squirrel"
|
|||
|

**Squirrel is not an ORM.** For an application of Squirrel, check out

Squirrel helps you build SQL queries from composable parts:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```go
|
|||
|
|
import sq "github.com/Masterminds/squirrel"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
users := sq.Select("*").From("users").Join("emails USING (email_id)")
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
active := users.Where(sq.Eq{"deleted_at": nil})
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sql, args, err := active.ToSql()
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sql == "SELECT * FROM users JOIN emails USING (email_id) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL"
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```go
|
|||
|
|
sql, args, err := sq.
|
|||
|
|
Insert("users").Columns("name", "age").
|
|||
|
|
Values("moe", 13).Values("larry", sq.Expr("? + 5", 12)).
|
|||
|
|
ToSql()
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sql == "INSERT INTO users (name,age) VALUES (?,?),(?,? + 5)"
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Squirrel can also execute queries directly:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```go
|
|||
|
|
stooges := users.Where(sq.Eq{"username": []string{"moe", "larry", "curly", "shemp"}})
|
|||
|
|
three_stooges := stooges.Limit(3)
|
|||
|
|
rows, err := three_stooges.RunWith(db).Query()
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
// Behaves like:
|
|||
|
|
rows, err := db.Query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username IN (?,?,?,?) LIMIT 3",
|
|||
|
|
"moe", "larry", "curly", "shemp")
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Squirrel makes conditional query building a breeze:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```go
|
|||
|
|
if len(q) > 0 {
|
|||
|
|
users = users.Where("name LIKE ?", fmt.Sprint("%", q, "%"))
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Squirrel wants to make your life easier:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```go
|
|||
|
|
// StmtCache caches Prepared Stmts for you
|
|||
|
|
dbCache := sq.NewStmtCacher(db)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
// StatementBuilder keeps your syntax neat
|
|||
|
|
mydb := sq.StatementBuilder.RunWith(dbCache)
|
|||
|
|
select_users := mydb.Select("*").From("users")
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Squirrel loves PostgreSQL:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```go
|
|||
|
|
psql := sq.StatementBuilder.PlaceholderFormat(sq.Dollar)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
// You use question marks for placeholders...
|
|||
|
|
sql, _, _ := psql.Select("*").From("elephants").Where("name IN (?,?)", "Dumbo", "Verna").ToSql()
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
/// ...squirrel replaces them using PlaceholderFormat.
|
|||
|
|
sql == "SELECT * FROM elephants WHERE name IN ($1,$2)"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
/// You can retrieve id ...
|
|||
|
|
query := sq.Insert("nodes").
|
|||
|
|
Columns("uuid", "type", "data").
|
|||
|
|
Values(node.Uuid, node.Type, node.Data).
|
|||
|
|
Suffix("RETURNING \"id\"").
|
|||
|
|
RunWith(m.db).
|
|||
|
|
PlaceholderFormat(sq.Dollar)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
query.QueryRow().Scan(&node.id)
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can escape question marks by inserting two question marks:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```sql
|
|||
|
|
SELECT * FROM nodes WHERE meta->'format' ??| array[?,?]
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
will generate with the Dollar Placeholder:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```sql
|
|||
|
|
SELECT * FROM nodes WHERE meta->'format' ?| array[$1,$2]
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## FAQ
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **How can I build an IN query on composite keys / tuples, e.g. `WHERE (col1, col2) IN ((1,2),(3,4))`? ([#104](https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel/issues/104))**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Squirrel does not explicitly support tuples, but you can get the same effect with e.g.:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```go
|
|||
|
|
sq.Or{
|
|||
|
|
sq.Eq{"col1": 1, "col2": 2},
|
|||
|
|
sq.Eq{"col1": 3, "col2": 4}}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```sql
|
|||
|
|
WHERE (col1 = 1 AND col2 = 2) OR (col1 = 3 AND col2 = 4)
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(which should produce the same query plan as the tuple version)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **Why doesn't `Eq{"mynumber": []uint8{1,2,3}}` turn into an `IN` query? ([#114](https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel/issues/114))**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Values of type `[]byte` are handled specially by `database/sql`. In Go, [`byte` is just an alias of `uint8`](https://golang.org/pkg/builtin/#byte), so there is no way to distinguish `[]uint8` from `[]byte`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **Some features are poorly documented!**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This isn't a frequent complaints section!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **Some features are poorly documented?**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Yes. The tests should be considered a part of the documentation; take a look at those for ideas on how to express more complex queries.
