Diesel 2.2.0

Added:

* Support `[print_schema] exclude_custom_type_definitions = ["Vector"]`. If a `custom type` matches one element on the list it's skipped.
* Added automatic usage of all sqlite `rowid` aliases when no explicit primary key is defined for `print-schema`
* Added a `#[dsl::auto_type]` attribute macro, allowing to infer type of query fragment functions
* Added the same type inference on `Selectable` derives, which allows skipping specifying `select_expression_type` most of the time, in turn enabling most queries to be written using just a `Selectable` derive.
* Added an optional `#[diesel(skip_insertion)]` field attribute to the `Insertable` derive macro, allowing fields which map to generated columns to be skipped during insertion.
* Support for connection instrumentation. This allows to inspect any query run by your application
* Logging in diesel-cli
* Support for libsqlite3-sys 0.28
* Add `sqlite-integer-primary-key-is-bigint` configuration option, usable with SQLite 3.37 or above, allowing to use `BigInt` for `INTEGER PRIMARY KEY` columns in SQLite for tables without the `WITHOUT ROWID` attribute ([SQLite doc](https://www.sqlite.org/lang_createtable.html#rowid)).
* Support for multiple `print_schema` entry in `diesel.toml` (e.g. `[print_schema.user1]`), which allows generating multiple schema.rs files
* Add support for `COPY TO` and `COPY FROM` statements
* Add support for mapping `chrono::Duration` to postgresql's `INTERVAL` sql type
* Added `serialize_database_to_buffer` and `deserialize_readonly_database_from_buffer` methods in `SqliteConnection` to support serialization/deserialization of SQLite databases to and from byte buffers.
* Added `SerializedDatabase` wrapper type for a serialized database that is dynamically allocated by calling `serialize_database_to_buffer`. This RAII wrapper deallocates the memory when it goes out of scope with `sqlite3_free`.

Changed:

* The minimal officially supported rustc version is now 1.78.0
* Deprecated `sql_function!` in favour of `define_sql_function!` which provides compatibility with `#[dsl::auto_type]`
* Deserialization error messages now contain information about the field that failed to deserialize
Fix the includes in all `Cargo.toml` files

A safe, extensible ORM and Query Builder for Rust

Build Status Gitter Crates.io

API Documentation: latest releasemaster branch

Homepage

Diesel gets rid of the boilerplate for database interaction and eliminates runtime errors without sacrificing performance. It takes full advantage of Rust's type system to create a low overhead query builder that “feels like Rust.”

Supported databases:

  1. PostgreSQL
  2. MySQL
  3. SQLite

You can configure the database backend in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
diesel = { version = "<version>", features = ["<postgres|mysql|sqlite>"] }

Getting Started

Find our extensive Getting Started tutorial at https://diesel.rs/guides/getting-started. Guides on more specific features are coming soon.

Getting help

If you run into problems, Diesel has a very active Gitter room. You can come ask for help at gitter.im/diesel-rs/diesel. For help with longer questions and discussion about the future of Diesel, open a discussion on GitHub Discussions.

Usage

Simple queries

Simple queries are a complete breeze. Loading all users from a database:

users::table.load(&mut connection)

Executed SQL:

SELECT * FROM users;

Loading all the posts for a user:

Post::belonging_to(user).load(&mut connection)

Executed SQL:

SELECT * FROM posts WHERE user_id = 1;

Complex queries

Diesel's powerful query builder helps you construct queries as simple or complex as you need, at zero cost.

let versions = Version::belonging_to(krate)
  .select(id)
  .order(num.desc())
  .limit(5);
let downloads = version_downloads
  .filter(date.gt(now - 90.days()))
  .filter(version_id.eq_any(versions))
  .order(date)
  .load::<Download>(&mut conn)?;

Executed SQL:

SELECT version_downloads.*
  WHERE date > (NOW() - '90 days')
    AND version_id = ANY(
      SELECT id FROM versions
        WHERE crate_id = 1
        ORDER BY num DESC
        LIMIT 5
    )
  ORDER BY date

Less boilerplate

Diesel codegen generates boilerplate for you. It lets you focus on your business logic, not mapping to and from SQL rows.

That means you can write this:

#[derive(Queryable, Selectable)]
#[diesel(table_name = downloads)]
pub struct Download {
    id: i32,
    version_id: i32,
    downloads: i32,
    counted: i32,
    date: SystemTime,
}

Instead of this without Diesel:

pub struct Download {
    id: i32,
    version_id: i32,
    downloads: i32,
    counted: i32,
    date: SystemTime,
}

impl Download {
    fn from_row(row: &Row) -> Download {
        Download {
            id: row.get("id"),
            version_id: row.get("version_id"),
            downloads: row.get("downloads"),
            counted: row.get("counted"),
            date: row.get("date"),
        }
    }
}

Inserting data

It's not just about reading data. Diesel makes it easy to use structs for new records.

#[derive(Insertable)]
#[diesel(table_name = users)]
struct NewUser<'a> {
    name: &'a str,
    hair_color: Option<&'a str>,
}

let new_users = vec![
    NewUser { name: "Sean", hair_color: Some("Black") },
    NewUser { name: "Gordon", hair_color: None },
];

insert_into(users)
    .values(&new_users)
    .execute(&mut connection);

Executed SQL:

INSERT INTO users (name, hair_color) VALUES
  ('Sean', 'Black'),
  ('Gordon', DEFAULT)

If you need data from the rows you inserted, just change execute to get_result or get_results. Diesel will take care of the rest.

let new_users = vec![
    NewUser { name: "Sean", hair_color: Some("Black") },
    NewUser { name: "Gordon", hair_color: None },
];

let inserted_users = insert_into(users)
    .values(&new_users)
    .get_results::<User>(&mut connection);

Executed SQL:

INSERT INTO users (name, hair_color) VALUES
  ('Sean', 'Black'),
  ('Gordon', DEFAULT)
  RETURNING *

Updating data

Diesel's codegen can generate several ways to update a row, letting you encapsulate your logic in the way that makes sense for your app.

Modifying a struct:

post.published = true;
post.save_changes(&mut connection);

One-off batch changes:

update(users.filter(email.like("%@spammer.com")))
    .set(banned.eq(true))
    .execute(&mut connection)

Using a struct for encapsulation:

update(Settings::belonging_to(current_user))
    .set(&settings_form)
    .execute(&mut connection)

Raw SQL

There will always be certain queries that are just easier to write as raw SQL, or can't be expressed with the query builder. Even in these cases, Diesel provides an easy to use API for writing raw SQL.

#[derive(QueryableByName)]
#[diesel(table_name = users)]
struct User {
    id: i32,
    name: String,
    organization_id: i32,
}

// Using `include_str!` allows us to keep the SQL in a
// separate file, where our editor can give us SQL specific
// syntax highlighting.
sql_query(include_str!("complex_users_by_organization.sql"))
    .bind::<Integer, _>(organization_id)
    .bind::<BigInt, _>(offset)
    .bind::<BigInt, _>(limit)
    .load::<User>(&mut conn)?;
