Download the PHP package zobaken/daltron without Composer

Introduction

Database Abstraction Layer for PHP.

Created to be simply as possible tool for creating and running SQL queries. Currently supports mysql and postgresql drivers.

Requirements

PHP7, mysqli extension for Mysql support. pgsql extension for postgres..

Installation

Install it via composer:

Configuration

First we need to set configuration:

It is possible to load configuration from file. For example 'config.php' can look like:

Then we load it like this:

Query builder

Simplest query will look like:

Lets try something more complex. Builder mimics SQL syntax, so nothing new to learn:

Every "unknown" method of query, like select method in this example adds term to the SQL request. All parameters mapped with ? placeholders, that are not integer, are escaped and surrounded by quotes.

The previous example is equivalent to:

Here is a typical situation when query conditions depends on user input:

Additional conditions are added only when the first parameter of ifQuery is true. #? placeholder is used for field name escaping. In this example we assume that $orderDirection equals ASC or DESC and !? placeholder does not escape the value, use it with caution!

Insert and update example (we assume that id field is autoincrement):

Method insertRow is a shortcut for insert request. dbtime function without parameters returns current time in format Y-m-d H:i:s. Passing true to exec method we ask it to return last inserted id. Method affectedRows is used to get number of rows affected by previous query, obviously.

Models

Generation

To generate models we need already initialized database with existing data structure. In this example we use provided script utilizing configuration file from examples above:

Model classes will be created in "model" folder. If you need to create your own model generator scripts (with blackjack and closures) you can write something like this:

You can modify your model classes and if data structure is changed - run generator again. Model classes will not be overwritten, only their prototype classes.

Basic usage

Its your responsibility to load model classes using spl_autoload_register function or whatever method you like.

Here is a an example of using model classes:

Passing true to insert we ask it to return last inserted id.

Next we will get object from database and update it:

Simple as it!

Use remove to delete the object:

Advanced model requests

We can get object by passing where condition to findRow method:

Same for list of object using find method:

This will return objects created earlier then day ago.

You can pass not only where condition, but some later part of request. It is possible to limit our request to return only 10 rows:

Also we can use regular query builder syntax. Here is slightly modified request from example we had in somewhere above. Query will return an array of User objects.

Here is example of update request:

Same for delete:

Its easier to use queryUpdateRow method to update several fields:

In this case "SET" statement will be generated for passed fields with values escaped.

Namespaces

By default model classes are created in root namespace. You can change it by adding "namespace" option to your config:

Configuration profiles

You can create more then one profile to access different databases. In examples above we used only one profile with name "default". To create more profiles you need to define them in configuration like this:

Now we have exactly same "default" profile as we had before and another one named "postgres". Now we can use it by passing to our db function:

Also we can pass profile to model generator, so the models will use it instead of "default":
