Quick Examples
Setup Connection
csvar connection = new SqlConnection("..."); var compiler = new SqlCompiler(); var db = new QueryFactory(connection, compiler);
QueryFactoryis provided by the SqlKata.Execution package.
Retrieve all records
csvar books = db.Query("Books").Get();
Retrieve published books only
csvar books = db.Query("Books").WhereTrue("IsPublished").Get();
Retrieve one book
csvar introToSql = db.Query("Books").Where("Id", 145).Where("Lang", "en").First();
Retrieve recent books: last 10
csvar recent = db.Query("Books").OrderByDesc("PublishedAt").Limit(10).Get();
Include Author information
csvar books = db.Query("Books") .Include(db.Query("Authors")) // Assumes that the Books table has an `AuthorId` column .Get();
This will include the property "Author" on each "Book":
jsonc[{ "Id": 1, "PublishedAt": "2019-01-01", "AuthorId": 2, "Author": { // <-- included property "Id": 2, "...": "" } }]
Join with authors table
csvar books = db.Query("Books") .Join("Authors", "Authors.Id", "Books.AuthorId") .Select("Books.*", "Authors.Name as AuthorName") .Get(); foreach(var book in books) { Console.WriteLine($"{book.Title}: {book.AuthorName}"); }
Conditional queries
csvar isFriday = DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Friday; var books = db.Query("Books") .When(isFriday, q => q.WhereIn("Category", new [] {"OpenSource", "MachineLearning"})) .Get();
Pagination
csvar page1 = db.Query("Books").Paginate(10); foreach(var book in page1.List) { Console.WriteLine(book.Name); } ... var page2 = page1.Next();
Insert
csint affected = db.Query("Users").Insert(new { Name = "Jane", CountryId = 1 });
Update
csint affected = db.Query("Users").Where("Id", 1).Update(new { Name = "Jane", CountryId = 1 });
Delete
csint affected = db.Query("Users").Where("Id", 1).Delete();
FAQ
How to know when a new release or a feature is available?
I announce updates on my Twitter Account, and you can subscribe to our newsletters from the website https://sqlkata.com.
The database that I want is not supported. Why?
It's impossible to support all available database vendors, which is why we focus on the major ones. We encourage you to create your own compiler for your database.
Do you accept new compilers?
Unfortunately, no. The reason is that this would add overhead for the project contributors. We prefer to improve the quality of the existing compilers instead.
