@ -7,66 +7,107 @@ SQL as Clojure data structures.
## Usage
```clj
(require '[honeysql.core :as sql :refer [select from where limit merge-select
merge-where]])
(require '[honeysql.core
:as sql
:refer [select from where join order-by offset limit
modifiers merge-select merge-where]])
```
;; Everything is centered around maps representing SQL queries
Everything is built on top of maps representing SQL queries:
```clj
(def sqlmap {:select [:a :b :c]
:from [:foo]
:where [:= :f.a "baz"]})
```
;; format-sql turns maps into clojure.java.jdbc-compatible, parameterized SQL
`format-sql` turns maps into `clojure.java.jdbc`-compatible, parameterized SQL:
```clj
(sql/format sqlmap)
=> ["SELECT a, b, c FROM foo WHERE (f.a = ?)" ["baz"]]
```
;; The sql function is a helper for building query maps
(= sqlmap
(sql/sql :select [:a :b :c]
:from :foo
:where [:= :f.a "baz"]))
=> true
There are helper functions to build SQL maps. They compose together nicely.
;; You can also use clause-specific helper functions, if you prefer. They
;; compose together nicely.
(= sqlmap
```clj
(-> (select :a :b :c)
(from :foo)
(where [:= :f.a "baz"])))
(where [:= :f.a "baz"]))
```
Order doesn't matter.
```clj
(= (-> (select :*) (from :foo))
(-> (from :foo) (select :*)))
=> true
```
;; Providing a map as the first argument to sql or clause helper functions will
;; use that map as a base, with the new clauses replacing old ones
(sql/format (sql/sql sqlmap :select :* :limit 10))
=> ["SELECT * FROM foo WHERE (f.a = ?) LIMIT 10" ["baz"]]
(sql/format (-> sqlmap (select :*) (limit 10)))
=> ["SELECT * FROM foo WHERE (f.a = ?) LIMIT 10" ["baz"]]
When using the vanilla helper functions, new clauses will replace old clauses.
;; To add to clauses instead of replacing them, use merge-sql, or merge-select,
;; merge-from, etc.
```clj
(-> sqlmap (select :*))
=> {:from [:foo], :where [:= :f.a "baz"], :select (:*)}
```
To add to clauses instead of replacing them, use `merge-select`, `merge-where`, etc.
```clj
(sql/format
(sql/merge-sql sqlmap :select [:d :e] :where [:> :b 10]))
=> ["SELECT a, b, c, d, e FROM foo WHERE ((f.a = ?) AND (b > 10))" ["baz"]]
(sql/format
(-> sqlmap (merge-select :d :e) (merge-where [:> :b 10])))
(-> sqlmap
(merge-select :d :e)
(merge-where [:> :b 10])))
=> ["SELECT a, b, c, d, e FROM foo WHERE ((f.a = ?) AND (b > 10))" ["baz"]]
```
;; Queries can be nested
Queries can be nested:
```clj
(sql/format
(sql/sql :select :*
:from :foo
:where [:in :foo.a (sql/sql :select :a :from :bar)]))
(sql/format
(-> (select :*)
(from :foo)
(where [:in :foo.a (-> (select :a) (from :bar))])))
=> ["SELECT * FROM foo WHERE (foo.a IN (SELECT a FROM bar))"]
```
;; There are helper functions and data literals for handling SQL function
;; calls and raw SQL fragments
(sql/sql :select [(sql/call :count :*) (sql/raw "@var := foo.bar")]
:from :foo)
There are helper functions and data literals for handling SQL function
calls and raw SQL fragments:
```clj
(-> (select (sql/call :count :*) (sql/raw "@var := foo.bar"))
(from :foo))
=> {:from (:foo), :select (#sql/call [:count :*] #sql/raw "@var := foo.bar")}
(sql/format *1)
=> ["SELECT COUNT(*), @var := foo.bar FROM foo"]
```
Here's a complicated query:
```clj
(-> (select :f.* :b.baz :c.quux)
(modifiers :distinct)
(from [:foo :f] [:baz :b])
(join [[:clod :c] [:= :f.a :c.d] :left]
[:draq [:= :f.b :draq.x]])
(where [:or
[:and [:= :f.a "bort"] [:not= :b.baz "gabba"]]
[:in :f.e [1 2 3]]
[:between :f.e 10 20]])
(order-by [:b.baz :desc] :c.quux)
(limit 50)
(offset 10))
(sql/format *1)
=> ["SELECT DISTINCT f.*, b.baz, c.quux FROM foo AS f, baz AS b LEFT JOIN clod AS c ON (f.a = c.d) JOIN draq ON (f.b = draq.x) WHERE (((f.a = ?) AND (b.baz != ?)) OR (f.e IN (1, 2, 3)) OR f.e BETWEEN 10 AND 20) ORDER BY b.baz DESC, c.quux LIMIT 50 OFFSET 10"
["bort" "gabba"]]
```
