New Features​

Unify Expr and SimpleExpr Methods with ExprTrait #791​

Previously, "operator" methods (e.g. add, eq) are duplicated across Expr and SimpleExpr, but the list of methods is slightly different for each. And since Expr and SimpleExpr are distinct types, it makes writing generic code difficult.

The ExprTrait looks like this:

pub trait ExprTrait: Sized {
    // Required methods
    fn as_enum<N>(self, type_name: N) -> SimpleExpr
        where N: IntoIden;
    fn binary<O, R>(self, op: O, right: R) -> SimpleExpr
        where O: Into<BinOper>,
    R: Into<SimpleExpr>;
    fn cast_as<N>(self, type_name: N) -> SimpleExpr
        where N: IntoIden;
    fn unary(self, o: UnOper) -> SimpleExpr;

    // Provided methods
    fn add<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr where R: Into<SimpleExpr> { ... }
    fn and<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr where R: Into<SimpleExpr> { ... }
    fn between<A, B>(self, a: A, b: B) -> SimpleExpr
        where A: Into<SimpleExpr>,
              B: Into<SimpleExpr> { ... }
    fn div<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr where R: Into<SimpleExpr> { ... }
    fn eq<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr where R: Into<SimpleExpr> { ... }
    fn equals<C>(self, col: C) -> SimpleExpr where C: IntoColumnRef { ... }

    // omitting the where clause below to make it more concise ..

    fn gt<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn gte<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn in_subquery(self, sel: SelectStatement) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn in_tuples<V, I>(self, v: I) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn is<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn is_in<V, I>(self, v: I) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn is_not<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn is_not_in<V, I>(self, v: I) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn is_not_null(self) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn is_null(self) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn left_shift<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn like<L>(self, like: L) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn lt<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn lte<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn modulo<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn mul<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn ne<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn not(self) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn not_between<A, B>(self, a: A, b: B) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn not_equals<C>(self, col: C) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn not_in_subquery(self, sel: SelectStatement) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn not_like<L>(self, like: L) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn or<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn right_shift<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn sub<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn bit_and<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
    fn bit_or<R>(self, right: R) -> SimpleExpr;
}
  • Added ExprTrait to unify Expr and SimpleExpr methods
  • Added impl<T> ExprTrait for T where T: Into<SimpleExpr> to maintain backwards compatibility for all Into<SimpleExpr> types, such as Value and FunctionCall
  • Added trait PgExpr: ExprTrait: database specific expression for Postgres and impl PgExpr for FunctionCall, ColumnRef, Keyword, LikeExpr, Value
  • Added trait SqliteExpr: ExprTrait: database specific expression for SQLite and impl SqliteExpr for FunctionCall, ColumnRef, Keyword, LikeExpr, Value

Support of Postgres Vector #774​

Example:

assert_eq!(
    Query::select()
        .columns([Char::Character])
        .from(Char::Table)
        .and_where(
            Expr::col(Char::Character).eq(Expr::val(pgvector::Vector::from(vec![1.0, 2.0])))
        )
        .to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT "character" FROM "character" WHERE "character" = '[1,2]'"#
);

Support Partial Index #478​

  • Support partial index CREATE INDEX .. WHERE ..

Example (Postgres):

assert_eq!(
    Index::create()
        .unique()
        .nulls_not_distinct()
        .name("partial-index-glyph-image-not-null")
        .table(Glyph::Table)
        .col(Glyph::Image)
        .and_where(Expr::col(Glyph::Image).is_not_null())
        .to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "partial-index-glyph-image-not-null" ON "glyph" ("image") NULLS NOT DISTINCT WHERE "image" IS NOT NULL"#
);

Example (Sqlite):

assert_eq!(
    Index::create()
        .if_not_exists()
        .unique()
        .name("partial-index-glyph-image-not-null")
        .table(Glyph::Table)
        .col(Glyph::Image)
        .and_where(Expr::col(Glyph::Image).is_not_null())
        .to_string(SqliteQueryBuilder),
    r#"CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS "partial-index-glyph-image-not-null" ON "glyph" ("image") WHERE "image" IS NOT NULL"#
);

Get Null Value​

This one may seem a little bummer, but it is type system problem. In order to support the Postgres protocol, SeaQuery's Value enum does not have a Null variant. This new Value::as_null method allows you to:

  1. construct a typed null value
  2. nullify a value
  3. define generic functions (impl Into<Value>)
let v = Value::Int(Some(2));
let n = v.as_null();

assert_eq!(n, Value::Int(None));

// one liner:
assert_eq!(Into::<Value>::into(2.2).as_null(), Value::Double(None));

Bitwise AND/OR Operators #841​

Examples:

let query = Query::select()
    .expr(1.bit_and(2).eq(3))
    .to_owned();

assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT (1 & 2) = 3"#
);
let query = Query::select()
    .expr(1.bit_or(2).eq(3))
    .to_owned();

assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT (1 | 2) = 3"#
);

Enhancements​

  • #817 Replaced Educe with manual implementations
    • This is an effort to cut down compilation time
  • #844 Added GREATEST & LEAST function
  • #836 Added ValueType::enum_type_name()
  • #835 Removed "one common table" restriction on recursive CTE

sea-query-derive​

We've finally done it! Removing the last bit of syn v1 from our dependency tree:

sea-query % cargo tree |grep 'syn '
│   └── syn v2.0.39
    │   │   └── syn v2.0.39 (*)
    │       └── syn v2.0.39 (*)
    ├── syn v2.0.39 (*)
            └── syn v2.0.39 (*)
│   │   └── syn v2.0.39 (*)
  • Merged #[enum_def] into sea-query-derive
  • #769 #[enum_def] now impl additional IdenStatic and AsRef<str>

sea-query-attr​

We've merged this crate into sea-query-derive, and they will be maintained together from now on.

  • Updated syn, heck and darling
  • sea-query-attr is now deprecated

Upgrades​

  • #798 Upgraded sqlx to 0.8
  • #798 Upgraded bigdecimal to 0.4
  • #802 Upgraded rusqlite to 0.32

Integration Examples​

SeaQuery plays well with the other crates in the rust ecosystem.
