Tds

Hex.pm Build status

MSSQL / TDS Database driver for Elixir.

Supports Ecto 2.0. It (mostly) implements the db_connection behaviour and has support for transactions and prepared queries.

Please check out the issues for a more complete overview. This branch should not be considered stable or ready for production yet.

Usage

Add Tds as a dependency in your mix.exs file.

def deps do
  [{:tds, "~> 1.1"} ]
end

When you are done, run mix deps.get in your shell to fetch and compile Tds. Start an interactive Elixir shell with iex -S mix.

iex> {:ok, pid} = Tds.start_link([hostname: "localhost", username: "test_user", password: "test_password", database: "test_db", port: 4000])
{:ok, #PID<0.69.0>}

iex> Tds.query!(pid, "SELECT 'Some Awesome Text' AS MyColumn", [])
%Tds.Result{columns: ["MyColumn"], rows: [{"Some Awesome Text"}], num_rows: 1}}

iex> Tds.query!(pid, "INSERT INTO MyTable (MyColumn) VALUES (@my_value)",
...> [%Tds.Parameter{name: "@my_value", value: "My Actual Value"}])
%Tds.Result{columns: nil, rows: nil, num_rows: 1}}

Features

  • Automatic decoding and encoding of Elixir values to and from MSSQL's binary format
  • Support of TDS Versions 7.3, 7.4

Connecting to SQL Instances

Tds supports SQL instances by passing instance: "instancename" to the connection options. Since v1.0.16, additional connection parameters are:

  • :set_language - check stored procedure output exec sp_helplanguage name column value should be used here
  • :set_datefirst - number in range 1..7
  • :set_dateformat - atom :mdy | :dmy | :ymd | :ydm | :myd | :dym
  • :set_deadlock_priority - one of :low | :high | :normal | -10..10
  • :set_lock_timeout - number in milliseconds > 0
  • :set_remote_proc_transactions - atom :on | :off
  • :set_implicit_transactions - atom :on | :off
  • :set_transaction_isolation_level - atom :read_uncommited | :read_commited | :repeatable_read | :snapshot | :serializable
  • :set_allow_snapshot_isolation - atom :on | :off

Set this option to enable snapshot isolation on the database level. Requires connecting with a user with appropriate rights. More info here.

Data representation

TDS Elixir
NULL nil
bool true / false
char "é"
int 42
float 42.0
text "text"
binary <<42>>
numeric #Decimal<42.0> *
date {2013, 10, 12}
time {0, 37, 14}
datetime {{2013, 10, 12}, {0, 37, 14}}
uuid <<160,238,188,153,156,11,78,248,187,109,107,185,189,56,10,17>>

Currently unsupported: User-Defined Types, XML

Contributing

Clone and compile Tds with:

git clone https://github.com/livehelpnow/tds.git
cd tds
mix deps.get

You can test the library with mix test. Use mix credo for linting and mix dialyzer for static code analysis. Dialyzer will take a while when you use it for the first time.

SQL Server Setup

The tests require an sql server database to be available on localhost.

If you have Docker installed, you can use the official SQL Server Docker image. To start the container, run:

./docker-mssql.sh

If you prefer to install SQL Server directly on your computer, you can find installation instructions here:

Make sure your SQL server accepts the credentials defined in config/test.exs.

You also will need to have the sqlcmd command line tools installed. Setup instructions can be found here.

Special Thanks

Thanks to ericmj, this driver takes a lot of inspiration from postgrex.

Also thanks to everyone in the Elixir Google group and on the Elixir IRC Channel.
