preprocesses SQL queries to make them modular
Project description
querypp
querypp preprocesses SQL queries[1] in order to "parameterize" them. It also includes a loader which loads many queries
from a file, delimited by -- :name query_name
lines.
[1] Although it is trivially adapted to other languages with line comments, as the only SQL-specific assumption is the comment syntax.
Take an example:
SELECT *
FROM users
-- :param profiles
LEFT JOIN profiles USING (user_id)
-- :param login_history
LEFT JOIN login_history USING (profile_id)
-- :endparam
-- :endparam
-- :param user_id WHERE user_id = $1
A Query object can be called:
- with no parameters to return the entire query
- with one or more parameters to return the query with only those parameters.
In this case, q('profiles', 'user_id')
would return the query with the login_history
JOIN removed.
Motivation
After moving all my SQL queries to separate files (using the load_sql function), I noticed that I was duplicating some of them except for one extra clause. I created this to allow me to deduplicate such queries.
