🎉 We are pleased to release SeaStreamer 0.3.x!

File Backend​

A major addition in SeaStreamer 0.3 is the file backend. It implements the same high-level MPMC API, enabling streaming to and from files. There are different use cases. For example, it can be used to dump data from Redis / Kafka and process them locally, or as an intermediate file format for storage or transport.

The SeaStreamer File format, .ss is pretty simple. It's very much like .ndjson, but binary. The file format is designed with the following goals:

1. Binary data support without encoding overheads
2. Efficiency in rewinding / seeking through a large dump
3. Streaming-friendliness - File can be truncated without losing integrity

Let me explain in details.

First of all, SeaStreamer File is a container format. It only concerns the message stream and framing, not the payload. It's designed to be paired with a binary message format like Protobuf or BSON.

Encode-free​

JSON and CSV are great plain text file formats, but they are not binary friendly. Usually, to encode binary data, one would use base64. It therefore imposes an expensive encoding / decoding overhead. In a binary protocol, delimiters are frequently used to signal message boundaries. As a consequence, byte stuffing is needed to escape the bytes.

In SeaStreamer, we want to avoid the encoding overhead entirely. The payload should be written to disk verbatim. So the file format revolves around constructing message frames and placing checksums to ensure that data is interpreted correctly.

Efficient seek​

A delimiter-based protocol has an advantage: the byte stream can be randomly sought, and we always have no trouble reading the next message.

Since SeaStreamer does not rely on delimiters, we can't easily align to message frames after a random seek. We solve this problem by placing beacons in a regular interval at fixed locations throughout the file. E.g. say the beacon interval is 1024, there will be a beacon at the 1024th byte, the 2048th, and so on. Then, every time we want to seek to a random location, we'd seek to the closest N * 1024 byte and read from there.

These beacons also double as indices: they contain summaries of the individual streams. So given a particular stream key and sequence number (or timestamp) to search for, SeaStreamer can quickly locate the message just by reading the beacons. It doesn't matter if the stream's messages are sparse!

Streaming-friendliness​

It should always be safe to truncate files. It should be relatively easy to split a file into chunks. We should be able to tell if the data is corrupted.

SeaStreamer achieves this by computing a checksum for every message, and also the running checksum of the checksums for each stream. It's not enforced right now, but in theory we can detect if any messages are missing from a stream.

Summary​

This file format is also easy to implement in different languages, as we just made an (experimental) reader in Typescript.

That's it! If you are interested, you can go and take a look at the format description.

Redis Backend​

Redis Streams are underrated! They have high throughput and concurrency, and are best suited for non-persistent stream processing near or on the same host as the application.

The obstacle is probably in library support. Redis Streams' API is rather low level, and there aren't many high-level libraries to help with programming, as opposed to Kafka, which has versatile official programming libraries.

The pitfall is, it's not easy to maximize concurrency with the raw Redis API. To start, you'd need to pipeline XADD commands. You'd also need to time and batch XACKs so that it does not block reads and computation. And of course you want to separate the reads and writes on different threads.

SeaStreamer breaks these obstacles for you and offers a Kafka-like API experience!

Benchmark​

In 0.3, we have done some optimizations to improve the throughput of the Redis and File backend. We set our initial benchmark at 100k messages per second, which hopefully we can further improve over time.

Our micro benchmark involves a simple program producing or consuming 100k messages, where each message has a payload of 256 bytes.

For Redis, it's running on the same computer in Docker. On my not-very-impressive laptop with a 10th Gen Intel Core i7, the numbers are somewhat around:

Producer​

redis    0.5s
stdio    0.5s
file     0.5s

Consumer​

redis    1.0s
stdio    1.0s
file     1.1s

It practically means that we are comfortably in the realm of producing 100k messages per second, but are just about able to consume 100k messages in 1 second. Suggestions to performance improvements are welcome!

🎉 We are pleased to announce SeaORM 0.12 today!

We still remember the time when we first introduced SeaORM to the Rust community two years ago. We set out a goal to enable developers to build asynchronous database-driven applications in Rust.

Today, many open-source projects, a handful of startups and many more closed-source projects are using SeaORM. Thank you all who participated and contributed in the making!

New Features 🌟​

🧭 Seaography: GraphQL integration (preview)​

Seaography is a GraphQL framework built on top of SeaORM. In 0.12, Seaography integration is built into sea-orm. Seaography allows you to build GraphQL resolvers quickly. With just a few commands, you can launch a GraphQL server from SeaORM entities!

While Seaography development is still in an early stage, it is especially useful in prototyping and building internal-use admin panels.

Added macro DerivePartialModel​

#1597 Now you can easily perform custom select to query only the columns you needed

#[derive(DerivePartialModel, FromQueryResult)]
#[sea_orm(entity = "Cake")]
struct PartialCake {
    name: String,
    #[sea_orm(
        from_expr = r#"SimpleExpr::FunctionCall(Func::upper(Expr::col((Cake, cake::Column::Name))))"#
    )]
    name_upper: String,
}

assert_eq!(
    cake::Entity::find()
        .into_partial_model::<PartialCake>()
        .into_statement(DbBackend::Sqlite)
        .to_string(),
    r#"SELECT "cake"."name", UPPER("cake"."name") AS "name_upper" FROM "cake""#
);

Added Select::find_with_linked​

#1728, #1743 Similar to find_with_related, you can now select related entities and consolidate the models.

// Consider the following link
pub struct BakedForCustomer;

impl Linked for BakedForCustomer {
    type FromEntity = Entity;

    type ToEntity = super::customer::Entity;

    fn link(&self) -> Vec<RelationDef> {
        vec![
            super::cakes_bakers::Relation::Baker.def().rev(),
            super::cakes_bakers::Relation::Cake.def(),
            super::lineitem::Relation::Cake.def().rev(),
            super::lineitem::Relation::Order.def(),
            super::order::Relation::Customer.def(),
        ]
    }
}

let res: Vec<(baker::Model, Vec<customer::Model>)> = Baker::find()
    .find_with_linked(baker::BakedForCustomer)
    .order_by_asc(baker::Column::Id)
    .all(db)
    .await?

Added DeriveValueType derive macro for custom wrapper types​

#1720 So now you can use newtypes easily.

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "custom_value_type")]
pub struct Model {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub id: i32,
    pub number: Integer,
    // Postgres only
    pub str_vec: StringVec,
}

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveValueType)]
pub struct Integer(i32);

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveValueType)]
pub struct StringVec(pub Vec<String>);

Which saves you the boilerplate of:

impl std::convert::From<StringVec> for Value { .. }

impl TryGetable for StringVec {
    fn try_get_by<I: ColIdx>(res: &QueryResult, idx: I)
        -> Result<Self, TryGetError> { .. }
}

impl ValueType for StringVec {
    fn try_from(v: Value) -> Result<Self, ValueTypeErr> { .. }

    fn type_name() -> String { "StringVec".to_owned() }

    fn array_type() -> ArrayType { ArrayType::String }

    fn column_type() -> ColumnType { ColumnType::String(None) }
}

Enhancements 🆙​

#1433 Chained AND / OR join ON condition​

Added more macro attributes to DeriveRelation

// Entity file

#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, EnumIter, DeriveRelation)]
pub enum Relation {
    // By default, it's `JOIN `fruit` ON `cake`.`id` = `fruit`.`cake_id` AND `fruit`.`name` LIKE '%tropical%'`
    #[sea_orm(
        has_many = "super::fruit::Entity",
        on_condition = r#"super::fruit::Column::Name.like("%tropical%")"#
    )]
    TropicalFruit,
    // Specify `condition_type = "any"` to override it, now it becomes
    // `JOIN `fruit` ON `cake`.`id` = `fruit`.`cake_id` OR `fruit`.`name` LIKE '%tropical%'`
    #[sea_orm(
        has_many = "super::fruit::Entity",
        on_condition = r#"super::fruit::Column::Name.like("%tropical%")"#
        condition_type = "any",
    )]
    OrTropicalFruit,
}

#1508 Supports entity with composite primary key of arity 12​

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "primary_key_of_12")]
pub struct Model {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key, auto_increment = false)]
    pub id_1: String,
    ...
    #[sea_orm(primary_key, auto_increment = false)]
    pub id_12: bool,
}

#1677 Added UpdateMany::exec_with_returning()​

let models: Vec<Model> = Entity::update_many()
    .col_expr(Column::Values, Expr::expr(..))
    .exec_with_returning(db)
    .await?;

#1511 Added MigratorTrait::migration_table_name() method to configure the name of migration table​

#[async_trait::async_trait]
impl MigratorTrait for Migrator {
    // Override the name of migration table
    fn migration_table_name() -> sea_orm::DynIden {
        Alias::new("override_migration_table_name").into_iden()
    }
    ...
}

#1707 Added DbErr::sql_err() method to parse common database errors​

assert!(matches!(
    cake.into_active_model().insert(db).await
        .expect_err("Insert a row with duplicated primary key")
        .sql_err(),
    Some(SqlErr::UniqueConstraintViolation(_))
));

assert!(matches!(
    fk_cake.insert(db).await
        .expect_err("Insert a row with invalid foreign key")
        .sql_err(),
    Some(SqlErr::ForeignKeyConstraintViolation(_))
));

#1737 Introduced new ConnAcquireErr​

enum DbErr {
    ConnectionAcquire(ConnAcquireErr),
    ..
}

enum ConnAcquireErr {
    Timeout,
    ConnectionClosed,
}

#1627 Added DatabaseConnection::ping()​

|db: DatabaseConnection| {
    assert!(db.ping().await.is_ok());
    db.clone().close().await;
    assert!(matches!(db.ping().await, Err(DbErr::ConnectionAcquire)));
}

#1708 Added TryInsert that does not panic on empty inserts​

// now, you can do:
let res = Bakery::insert_many(std::iter::empty())
    .on_empty_do_nothing()
    .exec(db)
    .await;

assert!(matches!(res, Ok(TryInsertResult::Empty)));

#1712 Insert on conflict do nothing to return Ok​

let on = OnConflict::column(Column::Id).do_nothing().to_owned();

// Existing behaviour
let res = Entity::insert_many([..]).on_conflict(on).exec(db).await;
assert!(matches!(res, Err(DbErr::RecordNotInserted)));

// New API; now you can:
let res =
Entity::insert_many([..]).on_conflict(on).do_nothing().exec(db).await;
assert!(matches!(res, Ok(TryInsertResult::Conflicted)));

#1740, #1755 Replacing sea_query::Iden with sea_orm::DeriveIden​

To provide a more consistent interface, sea-query/derive is no longer enabled by sea-orm, as such, Iden no longer works as a derive macro (it's still a trait).

// then:

#[derive(Iden)]
#[iden = "category"]
pub struct CategoryEnum;

#[derive(Iden)]
pub enum Tea {
    Table,
    #[iden = "AfternoonTea"]
    EverydayTea,
}

// now:

#[derive(DeriveIden)]
#[sea_orm(iden = "category")]
pub struct CategoryEnum;

#[derive(DeriveIden)]
pub enum Tea {
    Table,
    #[sea_orm(iden = "AfternoonTea")]
    EverydayTea,
}

New Release Train Ferry 🚢​

It's been the 12th release of SeaORM! Initially, a major version was released every month. It gradually became 2 to 3 months, and now, it's been 6 months since the last major release. As our userbase grew and some are already using SeaORM in production, we understand the importance of having a stable API surface and feature set.

That's why we are committed to:

1. Reviewing breaking changes with strict scrutiny
2. Expanding our test suite to cover all features of our library
3. Never remove features, and consider deprecation carefully

Today, the architecture of SeaORM is pretty solid and stable, and with the 0.12 release where we paid back a lot of technical debt, we will be able to deliver new features and enhancements without breaking. As our major dependency SQLx is not 1.0 yet, technically we cannot be 1.0.

We are still advancing rapidly, and we will always make a new release as soon as SQLx makes a new release, so that you can upgrade everything at once. As a result, the next major release of SeaORM will come out 6 months from now, or when SQLx makes a new release, whichever is earlier.

What's Next for SeaORM? ⛵​

Open-source project is a never-ending work, and we are actively looking for ways to sustain the project. You can support our endeavour by starring & sharing our repositories and becoming a sponsor.

We are considering multiple directions to generate revenue for the organization. If you have any suggestion, or want to join or collaborate with us, please contact us via hello[at]sea-ql.org.

Thank you for your support, and together we can make open-source sustainable.

We are pleased to introduce SeaStreamer to the Rust community today. SeaStreamer is a stream processing toolkit to help you build stream processors in Rust.

At SeaQL we want to make Rust the best programming platform for data engineering. Where SeaORM is the essential tool for working with SQL databases, SeaStreamer aims to be your essential toolkit for working with streams.

Currently SeaStreamer provides integration with Kafka and Redis.

Let's have a quick tour of SeaStreamer.

High level async API​

• High level async API that supports both async-std and tokio
• Mutex-free implementation¹: concurrency achieved by message passing
• A comprehensive type system that guides/restricts you with the API

Below is a basic Kafka consumer:

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    env_logger::init();

    let stream: StreamUrl = "kafka://streamer.sea-ql.org:9092/my_stream".parse()?;
    let streamer = KafkaStreamer::connect(stream.streamer(), Default::default()).await?;
    let mut options = KafkaConsumerOptions::new(ConsumerMode::RealTime);
    options.set_auto_offset_reset(AutoOffsetReset::Earliest);
    let consumer = streamer
        .create_consumer(stream.stream_keys(), options)
        .await?;

    loop {
        let mess = consumer.next().await?;
        println!("{}", mess.message().as_str()?);
    }
}

Consumer::stream() returns an object that implements the Stream trait, which allows you to do neat things:

let items = consumer
    .stream()
    .take(num)
    .map(process_message)
    .collect::<Vec<_>>()
    .await

Trait-based abstract interface​

All SeaStreamer backends implement a common abstract interface, offering you a familiar API. Below is a basic Redis consumer, which is nearly the same as the previous example:

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    env_logger::init();

    let stream: StreamUrl = "redis://localhost:6379/my_stream".parse()?;
    let streamer = RedisStreamer::connect(stream.streamer(), Default::default()).await?;
    let mut options = RedisConsumerOptions::new(ConsumerMode::RealTime);
    options.set_auto_stream_reset(AutoStreamReset::Earliest);
    let consumer = streamer
        .create_consumer(stream.stream_keys(), options)
        .await?;

    loop {
        let mess = consumer.next().await?;
        println!("{}", mess.message().as_str()?);
    }
}

Redis Streams Support​

SeaStreamer Redis provides a Kafka-like stream semantics:

• Non-group streaming with AutoStreamReset option
• Consumer-group-based streaming with auto-ack and/or auto-commit
• Load balancing among consumers with automatic failover
• Seek/rewind to point in time

You don't have to call XADD, XREAD, XACK, etc... anymore!

Enum-based generic interface​

The trait-based API requires you to designate the concrete Streamer type for monomorphization, otherwise the code cannot compile.

Akin to how SeaORM implements runtime-polymorphism, SeaStreamer provides a enum-based generic streamer, in which the backend is selected on runtime.

Here is an illustration (full example):

// sea-streamer-socket
pub struct SeaConsumer {
    backend: SeaConsumerBackend,
}

enum SeaConsumerBackend {
    #[cfg(feature = "backend-kafka")]
    Kafka(KafkaConsumer),
    #[cfg(feature = "backend-redis")]
    Redis(RedisConsumer),
    #[cfg(feature = "backend-stdio")]
    Stdio(StdioConsumer),
}

// Your code
let uri: StreamerUri = "kafka://localhost:9092".parse()?; // or
let uri: StreamerUri = "redis://localhost:6379".parse()?; // or
let uri: StreamerUri = "stdio://".parse()?;

// SeaStreamer will be backed by Kafka, Redis or Stdio depending on the URI
let streamer = SeaStreamer::connect(uri, Default::default()).await?;

// Set backend-specific options
let mut options = SeaConsumerOptions::new(ConsumerMode::Resumable);
options.set_kafka_consumer_options(|options: &mut KafkaConsumerOptions| { .. });
options.set_redis_consumer_options(|options: &mut RedisConsumerOptions| { .. });
let mut consumer: SeaConsumer = streamer.create_consumer(stream_keys, options).await?;

// You can still retrieve the concrete type
let kafka: Option<&mut KafkaConsumer> = consumer.get_kafka();
let redis: Option<&mut RedisConsumer> = consumer.get_redis();

So you can "write once, stream anywhere"!

Good old unix pipe​

In SeaStreamer, stdin & stdout can be used as stream source and sink.

Say you are developing some processors to transform a stream in several stages:

./processor_1 --input kafka://localhost:9092/input --output kafka://localhost:9092/stage_1 &
./processor_2 --input kafka://localhost:9092/stage_1 --output kafka://localhost:9092/stage_2 &
./processor_3 --input kafka://localhost:9092/stage_2 --output kafka://localhost:9092/output &

It would be great if we can simply pipe the processors together right?

With SeaStreamer, you can do the following:

./processor_1 --input kafka://localhost:9092/input --output stdio:///stream |
./processor_2 --input stdio:///stream --output stdio:///stream |
./processor_3 --input stdio:///stream --output kafka://localhost:9092/output

All without recompiling the stream processors! Now, you can develop locally with the comfort of using |, >, < and your favourite unix program in the shell.

Testable​

SeaStreamer encourages you to write tests at all levels:

• You can execute tests involving several stream processors in the same OS process
• You can execute tests involving several OS processes by connecting them with pipes
• You can execute tests involving several stream processors with Redis / Kafka

All against the same piece of code! Let SeaStreamer take away the boilerplate and mocking facility from your codebase.

Below is an example of intra-process testing, which can be run with cargo test without any dependency or side-effects:

let stream = StreamKey::new("test")?;
let mut options = StdioConnectOptions::default();
options.set_loopback(true); // messages produced will be feed back to consumers
let streamer = StdioStreamer::connect(StreamerUri::zero(), options).await?;
let producer = streamer.create_producer(stream.clone(), Default::default()).await?;
let mut consumer = streamer.create_consumer(&[stream.clone()], Default::default()).await?;

for i in 0..5 {
    let mess = format!("{}", i);
    producer.send(mess)?;
}

let seq = collect(&mut consumer, 5).await;
assert_eq!(seq, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]);

🎉 We are pleased to release SeaORM 0.11.0!

Data Loader​

[#1443, #1238] The LoaderTrait provides an API to load related entities in batches.

Consider this one to many relation:

let cake_with_fruits: Vec<(cake::Model, Vec<fruit::Model>)> = Cake::find()
    .find_with_related(Fruit)
    .all(db)
    .await?;

The generated SQL is:

SELECT
    "cake"."id" AS "A_id",
    "cake"."name" AS "A_name",
    "fruit"."id" AS "B_id",
    "fruit"."name" AS "B_name",
    "fruit"."cake_id" AS "B_cake_id"
FROM "cake"
LEFT JOIN "fruit" ON "cake"."id" = "fruit"."cake_id"
ORDER BY "cake"."id" ASC

The 1 side's (Cake) data will be duplicated. If N is a large number, this would results in more data being transferred over the wire. Using the Loader would ensure each model is transferred only once.

The following loads the same data as above, but with two queries:

let cakes: Vec<cake::Model> = Cake::find().all(db).await?;
let fruits: Vec<Vec<fruit::Model>> = cakes.load_many(Fruit, db).await?;

for (cake, fruits) in cakes.into_iter().zip(fruits.into_iter()) { .. }

SELECT "cake"."id", "cake"."name" FROM "cake"
SELECT "fruit"."id", "fruit"."name", "fruit"."cake_id" FROM "fruit" WHERE "fruit"."cake_id" IN (..)

You can even apply filters on the related entity:

let fruits_in_stock: Vec<Vec<fruit::Model>> = cakes.load_many(
    fruit::Entity::find().filter(fruit::Column::Stock.gt(0i32))
    db
).await?;

SELECT "fruit"."id", "fruit"."name", "fruit"."cake_id" FROM "fruit"
WHERE "fruit"."stock" > 0 AND "fruit"."cake_id" IN (..)

To learn more, read the relation docs.

Transaction Isolation Level and Access Mode​

[#1230] The transaction_with_config and begin_with_config allows you to specify the IsolationLevel and AccessMode.

For now, they are only implemented for MySQL and Postgres. In order to align their semantic difference, MySQL will execute SET TRANSACTION commands before begin transaction, while Postgres will execute SET TRANSACTION commands after begin transaction.

db.transaction_with_config::<_, _, DbErr>(
    |txn| { ... },
    Some(IsolationLevel::ReadCommitted),
    Some(AccessMode::ReadOnly),
)
.await?;

let transaction = db
    .begin_with_config(IsolationLevel::ReadCommitted, AccessMode::ReadOnly)
    .await?;

To learn more, read the transaction docs.

Cast Column Type on Select and Save​

[#1304] If you need to select a column as one type but save it into the database as another, you can specify the select_as and the save_as attributes to perform the casting. A typical use case is selecting a column of type citext (case-insensitive text) as String in Rust and saving it into the database as citext. One should define the model field as below:

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "ci_table")]
pub struct Model {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub id: i32,
    #[sea_orm(select_as = "text", save_as = "citext")]
    pub case_insensitive_text: String
}

#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, EnumIter, DeriveRelation)]
pub enum Relation {}

impl ActiveModelBehavior for ActiveModel {}

Changes to ActiveModelBehavior​

[#1328, #1145] The methods of ActiveModelBehavior now have Connection as an additional parameter. It enables you to perform database operations, for example, logging the changes made to the existing model or validating the data before inserting it.

#[async_trait]
impl ActiveModelBehavior for ActiveModel {
    /// Create a new ActiveModel with default values. Also used by `Default::default()`.
    fn new() -> Self {
        Self {
            uuid: Set(Uuid::new_v4()),
            ..ActiveModelTrait::default()
        }
    }

    /// Will be triggered before insert / update
    async fn before_save<C>(self, db: &C, insert: bool) -> Result<Self, DbErr>
    where
        C: ConnectionTrait,
    {
        // Logging changes
        edit_log::ActiveModel {
            action: Set("before_save".into()),
            values: Set(serde_json::json!(model)),
            ..Default::default()
        }
        .insert(db)
        .await?;

        Ok(self)
    }
}

To learn more, read the entity docs.

Execute Unprepared SQL Statement​

[#1327] You can execute an unprepared SQL statement with ConnectionTrait::execute_unprepared.

// Use `execute_unprepared` if the SQL statement doesn't have value bindings
db.execute_unprepared(
    "CREATE TABLE `cake` (
        `id` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
        `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL
    )"
)
.await?;

// Construct a `Statement` if the SQL contains value bindings
let stmt = Statement::from_sql_and_values(
    manager.get_database_backend(),
    r#"INSERT INTO `cake` (`name`) VALUES (?)"#,
    ["Cheese Cake".into()]
);
db.execute(stmt).await?;

Select Into Tuple​

[#1311] You can select a tuple (or single value) with the into_tuple method.

let res: Vec<(String, i64)> = cake::Entity::find()
    .select_only()
    .column(cake::Column::Name)
    .column(cake::Column::Id.count())
    .group_by(cake::Column::Name)
    .into_tuple()
    .all(&db)
    .await?;

Atomic Migration​

[#1379] Migration will be executed in Postgres atomically that means migration scripts will be executed inside a transaction. Changes done to the database will be rolled back if the migration failed. However, atomic migration is not supported in MySQL and SQLite.

You can start a transaction inside each migration to perform operations like seeding sample data for a newly created table.

Types Support​

• [#1325] Support various UUID formats that are available in uuid::fmt module

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "uuid_fmt")]
pub struct Model {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub id: i32,
    pub uuid: Uuid,
    pub uuid_braced: uuid::fmt::Braced,
    pub uuid_hyphenated: uuid::fmt::Hyphenated,
    pub uuid_simple: uuid::fmt::Simple,
    pub uuid_urn: uuid::fmt::Urn,
}

• [#1210] Support vector of enum for Postgres

#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, EnumIter, DeriveActiveEnum)]
#[sea_orm(rs_type = "String", db_type = "Enum", enum_name = "tea")]
pub enum Tea {
    #[sea_orm(string_value = "EverydayTea")]
    EverydayTea,
    #[sea_orm(string_value = "BreakfastTea")]
    BreakfastTea,
}

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "enum_vec")]
pub struct Model {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub id: i32,
    pub teas: Vec<Tea>,
    pub teas_opt: Option<Vec<Tea>>,
}

• [#1414] Support ActiveEnum field as primary key

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "enum_primary_key")]
pub struct Model {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key, auto_increment = false)]
    pub id: Tea,
    pub category: Option<Category>,
    pub color: Option<Color>,
}

Opt-in Unstable Internal APIs​

By enabling sea-orm-internal feature you opt-in unstable internal APIs including:

• Accessing the inner connection pool of SQLx with get_*_connection_pool method
• Re-exporting SQLx errors types: SqlxError, SqlxMySqlError, SqlxPostgresError and SqlxSqliteError

Breaking Changes​

• [#1366] sea-query has been upgraded to 0.28.x, which comes with some improvements and breaking changes. Please follow the release notes for more details

• [#1420] sea-orm-cli: generate entity command enable --universal-time flag by default

• [#1425] Added RecordNotInserted and RecordNotUpdated to DbErr

• [#1327] Added ConnectionTrait::execute_unprepared method

• [#1311] The required method of TryGetable changed:

// then
fn try_get(res: &QueryResult, pre: &str, col: &str) -> Result<Self, TryGetError>;
// now; ColIdx can be `&str` or `usize`
fn try_get_by<I: ColIdx>(res: &QueryResult, index: I) -> Result<Self, TryGetError>;

So if you implemented it yourself:

impl TryGetable for XXX {
-   fn try_get(res: &QueryResult, pre: &str, col: &str) -> Result<Self, TryGetError> {
+   fn try_get_by<I: sea_orm::ColIdx>(res: &QueryResult, idx: I) -> Result<Self, TryGetError> {
-       let value: YYY = res.try_get(pre, col).map_err(TryGetError::DbErr)?;
+       let value: YYY = res.try_get_by(idx).map_err(TryGetError::DbErr)?;
        ..
    }
}

• [#1328] The ActiveModelBehavior trait becomes async trait. If you overridden the default ActiveModelBehavior implementation:

#[async_trait::async_trait]
impl ActiveModelBehavior for ActiveModel {
    async fn before_save<C>(self, db: &C, insert: bool) -> Result<Self, DbErr>
    where
        C: ConnectionTrait,
    {
        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

• [#1425] DbErr::RecordNotFound("None of the database rows are affected") is moved to a dedicated error variant DbErr::RecordNotUpdated

let res = Update::one(cake::ActiveModel {
        name: Set("Cheese Cake".to_owned()),
        ..model.into_active_model()
    })
    .exec(&db)
    .await;

// then
assert_eq!(
    res,
    Err(DbErr::RecordNotFound(
        "None of the database rows are affected".to_owned()
    ))
);

// now
assert_eq!(res, Err(DbErr::RecordNotUpdated));

• [#1395] sea_orm::ColumnType was replaced by sea_query::ColumnType
  • Method ColumnType::def was moved to ColumnTypeTrait
  • ColumnType::Binary becomes a tuple variant which takes in additional option sea_query::BlobSize
  • ColumnType::Custom takes a sea_query::DynIden instead of String and thus a new method custom is added (note the lowercase)

// Compact Entity
#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "fruit")]
pub struct Model {
-   #[sea_orm(column_type = r#"Custom("citext".to_owned())"#)]
+   #[sea_orm(column_type = r#"custom("citext")"#)]
    pub column: String,
}

// Expanded Entity
impl ColumnTrait for Column {
    type EntityName = Entity;

    fn def(&self) -> ColumnDef {
        match self {
-           Self::Column => ColumnType::Custom("citext".to_owned()).def(),
+           Self::Column => ColumnType::custom("citext").def(),
        }
    }
}

What's Next?​

SeaQL is a community driven project. We welcome you to participate, contribute and build together for Rust's future.

Here is the roadmap for SeaORM 0.12.x.

FAQ.02 Why the empty enum Relation {} is needed even if an Entity has no relations?​

Consider the following example Post Entity:

use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;

#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, DeriveEntityModel)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "posts")]
pub struct Model {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub id: i32,
    pub title: String,
    pub text: String,
}

#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, EnumIter, DeriveRelation)]
pub enum Relation {}

impl ActiveModelBehavior for ActiveModel {}

The two lines for defining Relation is quite unnecessary right?

To explain the problem, let's dive slightly deeper into the macro-expanded entity:

The DeriveRelation macro simply implements the RelationTrait:

impl RelationTrait for Relation {
    fn def(&self) -> RelationDef {
        match self {
            _ => unreachable!()
        }
    }
}

Which in turn is needed by EntityTrait as an associated type:

impl EntityTrait for Entity {
    type Relation = Relation;
    ...
}

It would be ideal if, when the user does not specify this associated type, the library automatically fills in a stub to satisfy the type system?

Turns out, there is such a feature in Rust! It is an unstable feature called associated_type_defaults.

Basically, it allows trait definitions to specify a default associated type, allowing it to be elided:

// only compiles in nightly
trait EntityTrait {
    type Relation: Relation = EmptyRelation;
}

Due to our commitment to stable Rust, this may not land in SeaORM very soon. When it is stabilized, do remind us to implement this feature to get rid of those two lines!

SeaQL.org offer internships tailored to university students. In fact, it will be the 3rd cohort in 2023.

The internships normally take place during summer and winter semester breaks. During the internship period, you will work on a project dedicatedly and publish the project’s outcome at the end.

The striking aspect of our mode of operation is it covers the entire lifecycle of software development, from Design ➡️ Implementation ➡️ Testing ➡️ Delivery. You will be amazed of how much you can achieve in such a short period of time!

To date StarfishQL ✴️ and Seaography 🧭 are great projects our team has created in the past year. We pride ourselves on careful planning, consistent execution, and pragmatic approach in software engineering. I spend a huge amount of time on idea evaluation: if the scope of the project is too small, it will be uninteresting, but if it is too large, it will fail to be delivered.

Fellow undergraduates, here are a few good reasons why you should participate in internships at an open-source organization like SeaQL:

1. A tangible showcase on CV: open-source work is published, inspectable and has real-world impact. We will also ensure that it has good branding, graphics, and visibility.
2. Not driven by a business process, we do not compromise on quality of work. We do not have a proprietary development process, so it’s all open-source tools with transferable skills.
3. You will contribute to the community and will interact with people across the world. Collaboration on open source is the best thing humanity ever invented. You will only believe me when you have experienced it first-hand.
4. Because you are the driver of the project you work on, it allows you to uncover something more about yourself, in particular - abilities and discipline: you always have had under/over-estimated yourself in one aspect or another.

Here are several things you are going to learn:

1. "Thinking > Programming": the more time you spend on thinking beforehand, the better the code you are going to write. And the more time you spend on reviewing afterwards, the better the code is going to be.
2. How to organize a codebase. Make good use of the Rust type system to craft a modular, testable codebase.
3. Test automation. Every SeaQL project is continuously tested, and this is an integral part of our engineering process.
4. Documentation. Our software aims to provide good documentation that is comprehensive, easy to follow, and fun to read.
5. Performance tuning. Depending on the project, we might do some benchmarking and optimization. But in general we put you off from writing code that creates unnecessary overhead.

We were a mentor organization in GSoC 2022 and may be in 2023 (update: we were not accepted into GSoC 2023). We also offer internships outside of GSoC. So, what are the requirements when you become a contributor?

1. Be passionate. You must show your passion in open-source and software engineering, so a good GitHub profile with some participation is needed.
2. Be dedicated. This is a full-time job. While being fully remote and flexible on hours, you must have no other commitment or duties during the stipulated internship period.
3. Be open-minded. You should listen carefully to your mentors and act on their advice accordingly.
4. Write more. Communicate your thoughts and progress on all channels in an organized manner.

Don’t just listen to me though. Here is what our past interns says:

• Sanford Pun - in the team that created StarfishQL ✴️: Interning at Vision Cortex and SeaQL
• Panagiotis Karatakis - in the team that created Seaography 🧭: My GSoC Experience

Be well-prepared for your upcoming career in this technology industry! Follow us on GitHub and Twitter now, and stay tuned for future announcements.

We are calling for contributors and reviewers for SeaQL projects 📢!

The SeaQL userbase has been steadily growing in the past year, and it’s a pleasure for us to have helped individuals and start-ups to build their projects in Rust. However, the volume of questions, issues and pull requests is nearly saturating our core members’ capacity.

But again, thank you everyone for participating in the community!

If your project depends on SeaQL and you want to help us, here are some suggestions (if you have not already, star all our repositories and follow us on Twitter):

1. Financial Contribution. You can sponsor us on GitHub and those will be used to cover our expenses. As a courtesy, we listen to our sponsors for their needs and use cases, and we also communicate our organizational development from time-to-time.
2. Code Contribution. Opening a PR with us is always appreciated! To get started, you can go through our issue trackers and pick one to handle. If you are thinking of developing a substantial feature, start with drafting a "Proposal & Implementation Plan" (PIP).
3. Knowledge Contribution. There are various formats of knowledge sharing: tutorial, cookbook, QnA and Discord. You can open PRs to our documentation repositories or publish on your own. We will be happy to list it in our learning resources section. Keep an eye on our GitHub Discussions and Discord and help others where you can!
4. Code Review. This is an important process of our engineering. Right now, only 3 of our core members serve as reviewers. Non-core members can also become reviewers and I invite you to become one!

Now, I’d like to outline our review policy: for maturing projects, each PR merged has to be approved by at least two reviewers and one of them must be a core member; self-review allowed. Here are some examples:

• A core member opened a PR, another core member approved ✅
• A core member opened a PR, a reviewer approved ✅
• A reviewer opened a PR, a core member approved ✅
• A reviewer opened a PR, another reviewer approved ⛔
• A contributor opened a PR, 2 core members approved ✅
• A contributor opened a PR, a core member and a reviewer approved ✅
• A contributor opened a PR, 2 reviewers approved ⛔

In a nutshell, at least two pairs of trusted eyes should have gone through each PR.

What are the criteria when reviewing a PR?​

The following questions should all be answered yes.

1. Implementation, documentation and tests
   1. Is the implementation easy to follow (have meaningful variable and function names)?
   2. Is there sufficient document to the API?
   3. Are there adequate tests covering various cases?
2. API design
   1. Is the API self-documenting so users can understand its use easily?
   2. Is the API style consistent with our existing API?
   3. Does the API made reasonable use of the type system to enforce constraints?
   4. Are the failure paths and error messages clear?
   5. Are all breaking changes justified and documented?
3. Functionality
   1. Does the feature make sense in computer science terms?
   2. Does the feature actually work with all our supported backends?
   3. Are all caveats discussed and eliminated / documented?
4. Architecture
   1. Does it fit with the existing architecture of our codebase?
   2. Is it not going to create technical debt / maintenance burden?
   3. Does it not break abstraction?

1, 2 & 3 are fairly objective and factual, however the answers to 4 probably require some discussion and debate. If a consensus cannot be made, @tyt2y3 will make the final verdict.

Who are the current reviewers?​

As of today, SeaQL has 3 core members who are also reviewers:

Chris Tsang

Founder. Maintains all projects.

Billy Chan

Founding member. Co-maintainer of SeaORM and Seaography.

Ivan Krivosheev

Joined in 2022. Co-maintainer of SeaQuery.

How to become a reviewer?​

We are going to invite a few contributors we worked closely with, but you can also volunteer – the requirement is: you have made substantial code contribution to our projects, and has shown familiarity with our engineering practices.

Over time, when you have made significant contribution to our organization, you can also become a core member.

Let’s build for Rust's future together 🦀​

🎉 We are pleased to release SeaQuery 0.28.0! Here are some feature highlights 🌟:

New IdenStatic trait for static identifier​

[#508] Representing a identifier with &'static str. The IdenStatic trait looks like this:

pub trait IdenStatic: Iden + Copy + 'static {
    fn as_str(&self) -> &'static str;
}

You can derive it easily for your existing Iden. Just changing the #[derive(Iden)] into #[derive(IdenStatic)].

#[derive(IdenStatic)]
enum User {
    Table,
    Id,
    FirstName,
    LastName,
    #[iden = "_email"]
    Email,
}

assert_eq!(User::Email.as_str(), "_email");

New PgExpr and SqliteExpr traits for backend specific expressions​

[#519] Postgres specific and SQLite specific expressions are being moved into its corresponding trait. You need to import the trait into scope before construct the expression with those backend specific methods.

// Importing `PgExpr` trait before constructing Postgres expression
use sea_query::{extension::postgres::PgExpr, tests_cfg::*, *};

let query = Query::select()
    .columns([Font::Name, Font::Variant, Font::Language])
    .from(Font::Table)
    .and_where(Expr::val("a").concatenate("b").concat("c").concat("d"))
    .to_owned();

assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(PostgresQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT "name", "variant", "language" FROM "font" WHERE 'a' || 'b' || 'c' || 'd'"#
);

// Importing `SqliteExpr` trait before constructing SQLite expression
 use sea_query::{extension::sqlite::SqliteExpr, tests_cfg::*, *};

 let query = Query::select()
    .column(Font::Name)
    .from(Font::Table)
    .and_where(Expr::col(Font::Name).matches("a"))
    .to_owned();

 assert_eq!(
    query.to_string(SqliteQueryBuilder),
    r#"SELECT "name" FROM "font" WHERE "name" MATCH 'a'"#
 );

Bug Fixes​

• Wrap unions into parenthesis https://github.com/SeaQL/sea-query/pull/498
• Syntax error on empty condition https://github.com/SeaQL/sea-query/pull/505

// given
let (statement, values) = sea_query::Query::select()
    .column(Glyph::Id)
    .from(Glyph::Table)
    .cond_where(Cond::any()
        .add(Cond::all()) // empty all() => TRUE
        .add(Cond::any()) // empty any() => FALSE
    )
    .build(sea_query::MysqlQueryBuilder);

// old behavior
assert_eq!(statement, r#"SELECT `id` FROM `glyph`"#);

// new behavior
assert_eq!(
    statement,
    r#"SELECT `id` FROM `glyph` WHERE (TRUE) OR (FALSE)"#
);

// a complex example
let (statement, values) = Query::select()
    .column(Glyph::Id)
    .from(Glyph::Table)
    .cond_where(
        Cond::all()
            .add(Cond::all().not())
            .add(Cond::any().not())
            .not(),
    )

Community​

SeaQL is a community driven project. We welcome you to participate, contribute and together build for Rust's future.

🎉 We are pleased to release Seaography 0.3.0! Here are some feature highlights 🌟:

Dependency Upgrade​

[#93] We have upgraded a major dependency:

• Upgrade sea-orm to 0.10

You might need to upgrade the corresponding dependency in your application as well.

Support Self Referencing Relation​

[#99] You can now query self referencing models and the inverse of it.

Self referencing relation should be added to the Relation enum, note that the belongs_to attribute must be belongs_to = "Entity".

use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;

#[derive(
    Clone, Debug, PartialEq, DeriveEntityModel,
    async_graphql::SimpleObject, seaography::macros::Filter,
)]
#[sea_orm(table_name = "staff")]
#[graphql(complex)]
#[graphql(name = "Staff")]
pub struct Model {
    #[sea_orm(primary_key)]
    pub staff_id: i32,
    pub first_name: String,
    pub last_name: String,
    pub reports_to_id: Option<i32>,
}

#[derive(
    Copy, Clone, Debug, EnumIter, DeriveRelation,
    seaography::macros::RelationsCompact
)]
pub enum Relation {
    #[sea_orm(
        belongs_to = "Entity",
        from = "Column::ReportsToId",
        to = "Column::StaffId",
    )]
    SelfRef,
}

impl ActiveModelBehavior for ActiveModel {}

Then, you can query the related models in GraphQL.
