- Project integration example: Usage
const myzql = @import("myzql");
const Conn = myzql.conn.Conn;
pub fn main() !void {
// Setting up client
var client = try Conn.init(
allocator,
&.{
.username = "some-user", // default: "root"
.password = "password123", // default: ""
.database = "customers", // default: ""
// Current default value.
// Use std.net.getAddressList if you need to look up ip based on hostname
.address = std.net.Address.initIp4(.{ 127, 0, 0, 1 }, 3306),
// ...
},
);
defer client.deinit();
// Connection and Authentication
try client.ping();
}
const OkPacket = protocol.generic_response.OkPacket;
pub fn main() !void {
// ...
// You can do a text query (text protocol) by using `query` method on `Conn`
const result = try c.query("CREATE DATABASE testdb");
// Query results can have a few variant:
// - ok: OkPacket => query is ok
// - err: ErrorPacket => error occurred
// In this example, res will either be `ok` or `err`.
// We are using the convenient method `expect` for simplified error handling.
// If the result variant does not match the kind of result you have specified,
// a message will be printed and you will get an error instead.
const ok: OkPacket = try result.expect(.ok);
// Alternatively, you can also handle results manually for more control.
// Here, we do a switch statement to handle all possible variant or results.
switch (result.value) {
.ok => |ok| {},
// `asError` is also another convenient method to print message and return as zig error.
// You may also choose to inspect individual fields for more control.
.err => |err| return err.asError(),
}
}
- If you want to have query results to be represented by custom created structs, this is not the section, scroll down to "Executing prepared statements returning results" instead.
const myzql = @import("myzql");
const QueryResult = myzql.result.QueryResult;
const ResultSet = myzql.result.ResultSet;

// This is a query that returns rows, you have to collect the result.

- Let's assume that you have a table of this structure:

)
const myzql = @import("myzql");
const QueryResult = myzql.result.QueryResult;

// In order to do a insertion, you would first need to do a prepared statement.
// Allocation is required as we need to store metadata of parameters and return type
const prep_res = try c.prepare(allocator, "INSERT INTO test.person (name, age) VALUES (?, ?)");
defer prep_res.deinit(allocator);
const prep_stmt: PreparedStatement = try prep_res.expect(.stmt);
// Data to be inserted
const params = .{
.{ "John", 42 },
.{ "Sam", 24 },
};
inline for (params) |param| {
const exe_res = try c.execute(&prep_stmt, param);
const ok: OkPacket = try exe_res.expect(.ok); // expecting ok here because there's no rows returned
const last_insert_id: u64 = ok.last_insert_id;
std.debug.print("last_insert_id: {any}\n", .{last_insert_id});
}
// Currently only tuples are supported as an argument for insertion.
// There are plans to include named structs in the future.

// person is valid until BinaryResultRow.structDestroy is called.

- Example of using DateTime and Time MySQL column types.
- Let's assume you already got this table set up:
CREATE TABLE test.temporal_types_example (
event_time DATETIME(6) NOT NULL,
duration TIME(6) NOT NULL
)
const DateTime = myzql.temporal.DateTime;
const Duration = myzql.temporal.Duration;
fn main() !void {
{ // Insert
const prep_res = try c.prepare(allocator, "INSERT INTO test.temporal_types_example VALUES (?, ?)");
defer prep_res.deinit(allocator);
const prep_stmt: PreparedStatement = try prep_res.expect(.stmt);
const my_time: DateTime = .{
.year = 2023,
.month = 11,
.day = 30,
.hour = 6,
.minute = 50,
.second = 58,
.microsecond = 123456,
};
const my_duration: Duration = .{
.days = 1,
.hours = 23,
.minutes = 59,
.seconds = 59,
.microseconds = 123456,
};
const params = .{.{ my_time, my_duration }};
inline for (params) |param| {
const exe_res = try c.execute(&prep_stmt, param);
_ = try exe_res.expect(.ok);
}
}
{ // Select
const DateTimeDuration = struct {
event_time: DateTime,
duration: Duration,
};
const prep_res = try c.prepare(allocator, "SELECT * FROM test.temporal_types_example");
defer prep_res.deinit(allocator);
const prep_stmt: PreparedStatement = try prep_res.expect(.stmt);
const res = try c.executeRows(&prep_stmt, .{});
const rows: ResultSet(BinaryResultRow) = try res.expect(.rows);
const rows_iter = rows.iter();
const structs = try rows_iter.tableStructs(DateTimeDuration, allocator);
defer structs.deinit(allocator);
std.debug.print("structs: {any}\n", .{structs.struct_list.items}); // structs.rows: []const DateTimeDuration
// Do something with structs
}

zig test src/myzql.zig
- Start up mysql/mariadb in docker:
# MySQL
docker run --name some-mysql --env MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -p 3306:3306 -d mysql
```bash
# MariaDB
docker run --name some-mariadb --env MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -p 3306:3306 -d mariadb
- Run all the test: In root directory of project:
zig build -Dtest-filer='...' integration_test
Focused on correct representation of server client protocol.
Low-level apis should contain all functionality you need. High-level apis are built on top of low-level ones for convenience and developer ergonomics.
- MySQL Colums Types to Zig Values
- Null -> ?T
- Int -> u64, u32, u16, u8
- Float -> f32, f64
- String -> []u8, []const u8, enum
