This is a lightweight, schemaless library helping you to generate statements for PostgreSQL. It is based on sql-bricks and adds PostgreSQL specific things into it.
You might also want to take a look at pg-bricks, which adds query execution, connections and transaction handling on top of this library.
// in node:
var sql = require('sql-bricks-postgres');
// in the browser:
var sql = PostgresBricks;
sql.select().from('user').where({name: 'Fred'}).toParams();
// {text: 'SELECT * FROM "user" WHERE name = $1', values: ['Fred']}
sql.select().from('user').where({name: 'Fred'}).toString();
// SELECT * FROM "user" WHERE name = 'Fred'
// NOTE: never use .toString() to execute a query,
// leave values for db library to quoteYou can read about basic flavor of how this thing works in sql-bricks documentation. Here go PostgreSQL specifics.
sql.select().from('user').limit(10).offset(20).toString()
// SELECT * FROM "user" LIMIT 10 OFFSET 20sql.update('user', {name: 'John'}).where({id: 1}).returning('*')
// UPDATE "user" SET name = 'John' WHERE id = 1 RETURNING *
sql.delete('job').where({finished: true}).returning('id')
// DELETE FROM job WHERE finished = TRUE RETURNING idsql.update('setting', {value: sql('V.value')})
.from('val as V').where({name: sql('V.name')}).toString()
// UPDATE setting SET value = V.value
// FROM val as V WHERE name = V.namesql.delete('user').using('address')
.where('user.addr_fk', sql('address.pk'))
// DELETE FROM user USING address WHERE user.addr_fk = address.pkThe most popular use case is probably UPSERT:
sql.insert('user', {name: 'Alex', age: 34})
.onConflict('name').doUpdate('age')
// INSERT INTO "user" (name) VALUES ('Alex', 34)
// ON CONFLICT (name) DO UPDATE SET age = EXCLUDED.age
// sql-bricks-postgres will update all fields if none are specified
sql.insert('user', {name: 'Alex', age: 34})
.onConflict('name').doUpdate()
// INSERT INTO "user" (name) VALUES ('Alex', 34)
// ON CONFLICT (name)
// DO UPDATE SET name = EXCLUDED.name, age = EXCLUDED.age
// manipulate the data in the `DO UPDATE`:
sql.insert('user', {name: 'Alex', age: 34})
.onConflict('name').doUpdate()
.set(sql('name = coalesce(EXCLUDED.name, $1), age = $2 + 10', t1, t2))
// INSERT INTO "user" (name) VALUES ('Alex', 34)
// ON CONFLICT (name)
// DO UPDATE SET name = coalesce(EXCLUDED.name, $3), age = $4 + 10Other clauses such as DO NOTHING, ON CONSTRAINT and WHERE are
also supported:
sql.insert('user', ...).onConflict('name').where({is_active: true})
.doNothing()
// INSERT INTO "user" ... VALUES ...
// ON CONFLICT (name) WHERE is_active = true DO NOTHING
sql.insert('user', ...).onConflict().onConstraint('name_idx')
.doUpdate().where(sql('is_active'))
// INSERT INTO "user" ... VALUES ...
// ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT name_idx
// DO UPDATE SET ... WHERE is_active"VALUES statement is a handy way to provide data with a query. It is most known in a context of INSERT, but could be used for other things like altering selects and doing mass updates:
var data = [{name: 'a', value: 1}, {name: 'b', value: 2}];
sql.select().from(sql.values(data)).toString();
// SELECT * FROM (VALUES ('a', 1), ('b', 2))
sql.update('setting s', {value: sql('v.value')})
.from(sql.values({name: 'a', value: 1}).as('v').columns())
.where('s.name', sql('v.name')}).toString()
// UPDATE setting s SET value = v.value
// FROM (VALUES ('a', 1)) v (name, value) WHERE s.name = v.nameSometimes you need types on values columns for query to work. You can use .types() method to provide them:
var data = {i: 1, f: 1.5, b: true, s: 'hi'};
insert('domain', _.keys(data))
.select().from(sql.values(data).as('v').columns().types())
.where(sql.not(sql.exists(
select('1').from('domain d')
.where({'d.job_id': sql('v.job_id'), 'd.domain': sql('v.domain')}))))
// INSERT INTO domain (i, f, b, s)
// SELECT * FROM (VALUES ($5::int, $6::float, $7::bool, $8)) v (i, f, b, s)
// WHERE NOT EXISTS
// (SELECT 1 FROM domain d WHERE d.job_id = v.job_id AND d.domain = v.domain)When type can't detected by value, e.g. you have null, no cast will be added.
However, you can specify types explicitly:
sql.values({field: null}).types({field: 'int'}).toString()
// VALUES (null::int)ILIKE is a case insensitive LIKE statement
sql.select("text").from("example").where(sql.ilike("text", "%EASY%"))
// SELECT text FROM example WHERE text ILIKE '%EASY%'Supports node-postgres toPostgres() conventions to format Javascript appropriately for PostgreSQL.
See postgres-interval for an example of this pattern in action. (index.js#L14-L22)
PostgreSQL has lots of functions and operators so it's inpractical to support everything, instead simple fallback is offered:
select().from('time_limit')
.where(sql('tsrange(start, end) @> tsrange($1, $2)', t1, t2))
// SELECT * FROM time_limit
// WHERE tsrange(start, end) @> tsrange($1, $2)Note $<number> placeholders.
