Tds

MSSQL / TDS Database driver for Elixir.

Usage

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

def deps do
  [{:tds, "~> 0.2"} ]
end

After 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.Connection.start_link([hostname: "localhost", username: "test_user", password: "test_password", database: "test_db", port: 4000])
{:ok, #PID<0.69.0>}
iex> Tds.Connection.query!(pid, "SELECT 'Some Awesome Text' AS MyColumn", [])
%Tds.Result{columns: ["MyColumn"], rows: [{"Some Awesome Text"}], num_rows: 1}}
iex> Tds.Connection.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
  • Supports TDS Version 7.3, 7.4

Connecting to SQL Instances

Tds Supports sql instances by passing instance: "instancename" to the connection options.

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>>

All data types will be supported, unsupported types currently are udt, xml

Contributing

To contribute you need to compile Tds from source and test it:

$ git clone https://github.com/livehelpnow/tds.git
$ cd tds
$ mix test

The tests require an addition to your hosts file to connect to your sql server database.

sqlserver.local

Additionally SQL authentication needs to be used for connecting and testing. Add the user test_user as owner to the database test_db. See one of the test files for the connection information and port number.

##Special Thanks

Thanks to ericmj, this driver takes a lot of inspiration from postgrex. https://github.com/ericmj/

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