PeachySQL

PeachySQL is a speedy database abstraction layer which makes it easy to execute prepared statements and work with large amounts of data. It supports both MySQL and SQL Server, and runs on PHP 7.4+.

Install via Composer

composer require theodorejb/peachy-sql

Usage

Start by instantiating the Mysql or SqlServer class with a database connection, which should be an existing mysqli object or SQLSRV connection resource:

$peachySql = new PeachySQL\Mysql($mysqlConn);

or

$peachySql = new PeachySQL\SqlServer($sqlSrvConn);

After instantiation, arbitrary statements can be prepared by passing a SQL string and array of bound parameters to the prepare method:

$sql = "UPDATE Users SET fname = ? WHERE user_id = ?";
$stmt = $peachySql->prepare($sql, [&$fname, &$id]);

$nameUpdates = [
    3 => 'Theodore',
    7 => 'Luke',
];

foreach ($nameUpdates as $id => $fname) {
    $stmt->execute();
}

$stmt->close();

Most of the time prepared statements only need to be executed a single time. To make this easier, PeachySQL provides a query method which automatically prepares, executes, and closes a statement after results are retrieved:

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM Users WHERE fname LIKE ? AND lname LIKE ?';
$result = $peachySql->query($sql, ['theo%', 'b%']);
echo json_encode($result->getAll());

Both prepare and query return a Statement object with the following methods:

If using MySQL, the Mysql\Statement object additionally includes a getInsertId method.

Internally, getAll and getFirst are implemented using getIterator. As such they can only be called once for a given statement.

Shorthand methods

PeachySQL comes with five shorthand methods for selecting, inserting, updating, and deleting records.

Note: to prevent SQL injection, the queries PeachySQL generates for these methods always use bound parameters for values, and column names are automatically escaped.

select / selectFrom

The selectFrom method takes a single string argument containing a SQL SELECT query. It returns an object with three chainable methods:

1. where
2. orderBy
3. offset

Additionally, the object has a getSqlParams method which builds the select query, and a query method which executes the query and returns a Statement object.

// select all columns and rows in a table, ordered by last name and then first name
$rows = $peachySql->selectFrom("SELECT * FROM Users")
    ->orderBy(['lname', 'fname'])
    ->query()->getAll();

// select from multiple tables with conditions and pagination
$rows = $peachySql->selectFrom("SELECT * FROM Users u INNER JOIN Customers c ON c.CustomerID = u.CustomerID")
    ->where(['c.CustomerName' => 'Amazing Customer'])
    ->orderBy(['u.fname' => 'desc', 'u.lname' => 'asc'])
    ->offset(0, 50) // page 1 with 50 rows per page
    ->query()->getIterator();

The select method works the same as selectFrom, but takes a SqlParams object rather than a string and supports bound params in the select query:

use PeachySQL\QueryBuilder\SqlParams;

$sql = "
    WITH UserVisits AS
    (
        SELECT user_id, COUNT(*) AS recent_visits
        FROM UserHistory
        WHERE date > ?
        GROUP BY user_id
    )
    SELECT u.fname, u.lname, uv.recent_visits
    FROM Users u
    INNER JOIN UserVisits uv ON uv.user_id = u.user_id";

$date = new DateTime('2 months ago');
$rows = $peachySql->select(new SqlParams($sql, $date->format('Y-m-d')))
    ->where(['u.status' => 'verified'])
    ->query()->getIterator();

Where clause generation

In addition to passing basic column => value arrays to the where method, you can specify more complex conditions by using arrays as values. For example, passing ['col' => ['lt' => 15, 'gt' => 5]] would generate the condition WHERE col < 15 AND col > 5.

Full list of recognized operators:

If a list of values is passed with the eq or ne operator, it will generate an IN(...) or NOT IN(...) condition, respectively. Passing a list with the lk, nl, nu, or nn operator will generate an AND condition for each value. The lt, le, gt, and ge operators cannot be used with a list of values.

insertRow

The insertRow method allows a single row to be inserted from an associative array. It returns an InsertResult object with getId and getAffected methods.

$userData = [
    'fname' => 'Donald',
    'lname' => 'Chamberlin'
];

$id = $peachySql->insertRow('Users', $userData)->getId();

insertRows

The insertRows method makes it possible to bulk-insert multiple rows from an array. It returns a BulkInsertResult object with getIds, getAffected, and getQueryCount methods.

$userData = [
    [
        'fname' => 'Grace',
        'lname' => 'Hopper'
    ],
    [
        'fname' => 'Douglas',
        'lname' => 'Engelbart'
    ],
    [
        'fname' => 'Margaret',
        'lname' => 'Hamilton'
    ]
];

$result = $peachySql->insertRows('Users', $userData);
$ids = $result->getIds(); // e.g. [64, 65, 66]
$affected = $result->getAffected(); // 3
$queries = $result->getQueryCount(); // 1

An optional third parameter can be passed to insertRows to override the default identity increment value:

$result = $peachySql->insertRows('Users', $userData, 2);
$ids = $result->getIds(); // e.g. [64, 66, 68]

Note: SQL Server allows a maximum of 1,000 rows to be inserted at a time, and limits individual queries to 2,099 or fewer bound parameters. MySQL supports a maximum of 65,536 bound parameters per query. These limits can be easily reached when attempting to bulk-insert hundreds or thousands of rows at a time. To avoid these limits, the insertRows method automatically splits large queries into batches to efficiently handle any number of rows (getQueryCount returns the number of required batches).

updateRows and deleteFrom

The updateRows method takes three arguments: a table name, an associative array of columns/values to update, and a WHERE array to filter which rows are updated.

The deleteFrom method takes a table name and a WHERE array to filter the rows to delete.

Both methods return the number of affected rows.

// update the user with user_id 4
$newData = ['fname' => 'Raymond', 'lname' => 'Boyce'];
$peachySql->updateRows('Users', $newData, ['user_id' => 4]);

// delete users with IDs 1, 2, and 3
$userTable->deleteFrom('Users', ['user_id' => [1, 2, 3]]);

Transactions

Call the begin method to start a transaction. prepare, execute, query and any of the shorthand methods can then be called as needed, before committing or rolling back the transaction with commit or rollback.
