MiniSql
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'mini_sql'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install mini_sql
Usage
MiniSql is a very simple, safe and fast SQL executor and mapper for PG.
pg_conn = PG.connect(db_name: 'my_db')
conn = MiniSql::Connection.new(pg_conn)
puts conn.exec('update table set column = 1 where id in (1,2)')
# returns 2 if 2 rows changed
conn.query("select 1 id, 'bob' name") do |user|
puts user.name # bob
puts user.id # 1
end
puts conn.query_single('select 1 union select 2')
# [1,2]
Is it fast?
Yes, it is very fast, see benchmarks the bench directory
As a rule it will outperform similar naive PG code while remaining safe.
pg_conn = PG.connect(db_name: 'my_db')
# this is slower, and less safe
pg_conn.async_exec('select * from table') do |r|
name = r['name']
end
# this is faster and safer
conn = MiniSql::Connection.new(pg_conn)
conn.query('select * from table') do |r|
name = r.name
end
Safety
In current version of the PG gem you should be careful to clear results. If you do not you risk memory bloat. See: Sam's blog post.
MiniSql is careful to always clear results as soon as possible.
