It - has many kinds of backends, such as SQL backends - (@persistent-mysql@, @persistent-postgresql@, - @persistent-sqlite@) and NoSQL backends (@persistent-mongoDB@). - - While @persistent@ is a nice library for storing and retrieving - records, currently it has a poor interface for SQL backends - compared to SQL itself. For example, it's extremely hard to do - a type-safe @JOIN@ on a many-to-one relation, and simply - impossible to do any other kinds of @JOIN@s (including for the - very common many-to-many relations). Users have the option of - writing raw SQL, but that's error prone and not type-checked. - - @esqueleto@ is a bare bones, type-safe EDSL for SQL queries - that works with unmodified @persistent@ SQL backends. Its - language closely resembles SQL, so (a) you don't have to learn - new concepts, just new syntax, and (b) it's fairly easy to - predict the generated SQL and optimize it for your backend. - Most kinds of errors committed when writing SQL are caught as - compile-time errors---although it is possible to write - type-checked @esqueleto@ queries that fail at runtime. - - Currently only @SELECT@s are supported. Not all SQL features - are available, but most of them can be easily added (especially - functions), so please open an issue or send a pull request if - you need anything that is not covered by @esqueleto@ on - <https://github.com/meteficha/esqueleto/>. - - The name of this library means \"skeleton\" in Portuguese and - contains all three SQL letters in the correct order =). It was - inspired by Scala's Squeryl but created from scratch. - </longdescription> - <upstream> - <remote-id type="github">prowdsponsor/esqueleto</remote-id> - </upstream> -</pkgmetadata> |
