README

PDO wrapper for Phel. Talk to relational databases from Phel without dropping into PHP interop.

Install

composer require phel-lang/phel-pdo

Requires PHP >=8.4 and phel-lang/phel-lang ^0.41.

Quick start

(require phel.pdo)

(def conn (pdo/connect "sqlite::memory:"))
(pdo/exec conn "create table t1 (id integer primary key autoincrement, name varchar(10))")
(pdo/exec conn "insert into t1 (name) values ('phel'), ('php')")

;; Raw query
(-> (pdo/query conn "select * from t1 where id = 1")
    (pdo/fetch))
;; => {:id 1, :name "phel"}

;; Prepared statement
(-> (pdo/prepare conn "select * from t1 where id = :id")
    (pdo/execute {:id 1})
    (pdo/fetch))
;; => {:id 1, :name "phel"}

;; Insert a row from a map
(pdo/insert conn :t1 {:name "lisp"})
;; => "3"   ; new last-insert-id (string, as PDO reports it)

pdo/fetch returns the row as a map keyed by column keyword, or nil when no rows remain.

With phel-sql

phel-sql is an optional data-driven SQL DSL. It returns [sql params] you feed straight into pdo/prepare + pdo/execute:

(let [[query params] (sql/format {:select [:id :name], :from [:users], :where [:= :id 1]})]
  (-> (pdo/prepare conn query)
      (pdo/execute params)
      (pdo/fetch)))
;; => {:id 1, :name "phel"}

API

All functions live in the phel.pdo namespace.

Connection

Function Signature Description
connect (connect dsn & [username password options]) Open a connection. Throws PDOException on failure. Sets ERRMODE_EXCEPTION by default.
from-connection (from-connection pdo & [options]) Wrap an already-open \PDO (e.g. a framework/DBAL connection) as-is. {:apply-defaults true} sets ERRMODE_EXCEPTION.
exec (exec conn sql) Execute SQL, return number of affected rows.
query (query conn sql & [fetch-mode]) Run SQL without placeholders, return a statement.
prepare (prepare conn sql & [options]) Prepare a statement for later execute.
insert (insert conn table row) Insert a non-empty row map into table via a prepared statement and return the new last-insert-id (string). Identifiers must match [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*.
quote (quote conn string & [type]) Quote a string for safe embedding in SQL.
last-insert-id (last-insert-id conn) ID of the last inserted row, as a string (as PDO reports it).
begin / commit / rollback (begin conn) Transaction control.
in-transaction (in-transaction conn) true if a transaction is active.
with-transaction (with-transaction conn & body) Run body in a transaction: commit + return last value, or rollback + re-throw. Runs inline if already in a transaction.
get-attribute / set-attribute (get-attribute handle attr) / (set-attribute handle attr value) PDO attribute access; handle is a connection or a statement.
get-available-drivers (get-available-drivers) Vector of installed PDO drivers (static; no connection needed).
error-code (error-code handle) SQLSTATE string of the last operation; handle is a connection or a statement.
error-info (error-info handle) [sqlstate driver-code driver-message]; handle is a connection or a statement.

Statement

Returned by pdo/query and pdo/prepare.

Function Signature Description
execute (execute stmt & [params]) Run a prepared statement. Returns the statement so it threads through -> / let.
fetch (fetch stmt) Next row as a map, or nil if exhausted.
fetch-all (fetch-all stmt) Remaining rows as a vector of maps.
fetch-column (fetch-column stmt & [column]) Single column from the next row.
fetch-object (fetch-object stmt & [class-name ctor-args]) Next row as an object (stdClass by default, or an instance of class-name), or nil if exhausted.
statement-seq (statement-seq stmt) Lazy seq of the remaining rows as maps, fetched one at a time.
bind-value (bind-value stmt column value & [type]) Bind a value to a placeholder. Returns the statement.
bind-param (bind-param stmt column value & [type]) Bind a parameter, applied at execution time. Returns the statement.
column-count (column-count stmt) Number of columns in the result set.
row-count (row-count stmt) Rows affected by the last DML.
column-meta (column-meta stmt column) Metadata map for a 0-indexed column, or nil if unavailable.
close-cursor (close-cursor stmt) Free the cursor so the statement can be re-executed. Returns the statement.
set-fetch-mode (set-fetch-mode stmt mode & args) Set the statement's default fetch mode (extra args match the mode). Returns the statement.
next-rowset (next-rowset stmt) Advance to the next rowset of a multi-rowset statement; false when none remain.
debug-dump-params (debug-dump-params stmt) Dump prepared statement info as a string.

Note

Unlike PDOStatement::execute() (returns bool), pdo/execute returns the statement itself so it composes with ->.
