oneiriq-surql 1.5.10

Code-first database toolkit for SurrealDB - schema definitions, migrations, query building, and typed CRUD.

surql

A code-first database toolkit for SurrealDB. Define schemas, generate migrations, build queries, and perform typed CRUD -- all from Python.

Features

• Code-First Migrations - Schema changes defined in code with automatic migration generation
• Type-Safe Query Builder - Composable queries with Pydantic model integration
• SurrealDB v3 Ready - Emits v3-correct SurrealQL (datetime casts, count() GROUP ALL, type::thing(table, id) record-id construction, buffered transactions, idempotent DDL)
• Query UX Helpers - First-class wrappers for time::now, math::*, string::*, count_if, type_record, and typed aggregations -- no raw SurrealQL required
• Vector Search - HNSW and MTREE index support with 8 distance metrics and EFC/M tuning
• Graph Traversal - Native SurrealDB graph features with edge relationships
• Query Caching - Memory and Redis-backed caching with @cache_query decorator
• Live Queries - Real-time change notifications and streaming
• Schema Visualization - Mermaid, GraphViz, and ASCII diagrams
• CLI Tools - Migrations, schema inspection, multi-environment orchestration, validation, and database management
• Async-First - Built with async/await, connection pooling, and retry logic

Install

pip install oneiriq-surql

# or with uv
uv add oneiriq-surql

Quick Start

Define a schema

from surql.schema.fields import string_field, int_field, datetime_field
from surql.schema.table import table_schema, unique_index, TableMode

user_schema = table_schema(
  'user',
  mode=TableMode.SCHEMAFULL,
  fields=[
    string_field('name'),
    string_field('email', assertion='string::is::email($value)'),
    int_field('age', assertion='$value >= 0 AND $value <= 150'),
    datetime_field('created_at', default='time::now()', readonly=True),
  ],
  indexes=[unique_index('email_idx', ['email'])],
)

Run migrations

surql migrate create "Add user table"
surql migrate up
surql migrate status

Build queries with first-class helpers

from surql import (
  Query,
  aggregate_records,
  count_if,
  math_mean_fn,
  math_sum_fn,
  time_now_fn,
  type_record,
)

# Fluent UPDATE with server-side function values
sql = (
  Query()
    .update('user:alice')
    .set(status='active', last_seen=time_now_fn())
    .to_surql()
)

# Typed aggregate -- GROUP ALL + count() rendered correctly for v3
rows = await aggregate_records(
  table='order',
  select={
    'total': count_if(),
    'revenue': math_sum_fn('amount'),
    'avg_ticket': math_mean_fn('amount'),
  },
  where="status = 'paid'",
  group_all=True,
)

# Record-ID construction without string concatenation
ref = type_record('user', 'alice').to_surql()
# -> type::thing('user', 'alice')

Deploy across environments

# Sequential deploy to staging then production
surql orchestrate deploy -e staging,production

# Rolling deploy in batches of 2
surql orchestrate deploy -e prod1,prod2,prod3,prod4 \
  --strategy rolling --batch-size 2
