Modules reference ODBC connector for Tarantool

ODBC connector for Tarantool

Based on unixODBC

Breaking changes

Between 0.7.3 (and lower) and 1.0.0 (and higher)

odbc.create_env

  • opts.date_as_table deprecated
    • Use custom string date value to table marshaling
  • opts.decimal_as_luanumber introduced

Examples

Use a single connection

local odbc = require('odbc')
local yaml = require('yaml')

local env, err = odbc.create_env()
local conn, err = env:connect("DSN=odbc_test")

local result, err = conn:execute("SELECT 1 as a, 2 as b")
print(yaml.encode(result))

conn:close()

Use ODBC transactions

local odbc = require('odbc')
local yaml = require('yaml')

local env, err = odbc.create_env()
local conn, err = env:connect("DSN=odbc_test")
conn:execute("CREATE TABLE t(id INT, value TEXT)")

conn:set_autocommit(false)
conn:execute("INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, 'one')")
conn:execute("INSERT INTO t VALUES (2, 'two')")
local result, err = conn:execute("SELECT * FROM t")
print(yaml.encode(result))

conn:commit()
conn:close()

Use connection pool ad-hoc queries

Pool implements :execute(), :drivers(), :datasources() and :tables() methods.

local odbc = require('odbc')
local yaml = require('yaml')

local pool, err = odbc.create_pool({
    size = 5,
    dsn = os.getenv('DSN')
})
local _, err = pool:connect()

local res, err = pool:execute("SELECT 1 as a, 2 as b")
print(yaml.encode(res))

pool:close()

Rent pool connections

local odbc = require('odbc')
local yaml = require('yaml')

local pool, err = odbc.create_pool({
    size = 5,
    dsn = os.getenv('DSN')
})
local _, err = pool:connect()

local conn = pool:acquire()

local res, err = conn:execute("SELECT 1 as a, 2 as b")
print(yaml.encode(res))

pool:release(conn)

pool:close()

Connection methods

class odbc.connection
connection.execute(query, params)

Executes an arbitrary SQL query

Parameters:
  • query (string) – SQL query
  • params (table) – table with parameters binding
Returns:

resultset table with results

Returns:

nil, errors

Example

conn:execute("SELECT * FROM t WHERE id > ? and value = ?", {1, "two"})

Limitations

  • When no type marshaling case binding params have to be explicitly casted in sql expression, e.g.
conn:execute([[ insert into <table> values (cast(? as json) ) ]], { json:encode({a=1, b=2}) })
connection.set_autocommit(flag)

Sets autocommit of connection to a specified value. Used to achieve transaction behaviour. Set autocommit to false to execute multiple statements in one transactions.

Parameters:flag (boolean) – true/false
connection.set_timeout(timeout)

Sets timeout of query execution to a specified value. Timeout will be applied to each executed query, including queries with a cursor, until the connection is closed. Set timeout to 0 to disable timeout. By default, the timeout from the driver settings is used.

Parameters:timeout (integer) – timeout of query execution in seconds.
connection.commit()

Commit a transaction

connection.rollback()

Rollback a transaction

connection.set_isolation(level)

Sets isolation level of a transaction. Cannot be run in an active transaction.

Parameters:level (enum) – isolation level. One of the values defined in the odbc.isolation table.

Isolation levels

  1. odbc.isolation.READ_UNCOMMITTED
  2. odbc.isolation.READ_COMMITTED
  3. odbc.isolation.REPEATABLE_READ
  4. odbc.isolation.SERIALIZABLE
connection.is_connected()

Returns true if connection is active.

connection.state()

Returns an internal state of a connection.

connection.close()

Disconnect and close the connection.

connection.tables()

Returns a list of tables of a connected data source.

Example

tarantool> conn:tables()
---
- - table_type: TABLE
   catalog: odbc_test
   remarks:
   table_schema: public
   table_name: tt
 - table_type: TABLE
   catalog: odbc_test
   remarks:
