Lightweight is a thin and modern C++ ODBC wrapper foreasy andfast raw database access.Documentation is available athttps://lastrada-software.github.io/Lightweight/.
It supports both low-level access to the SQL API as well as provides hight level abstraction that allow easy database access.
Here you can see an example of datamapper usage (our tool for the high level abstraction)
Only ODBC is supported, so it should work on any platform that has an ODBC driver anda modern enough C++ compiler.
- Windows (Visual Studio 2022, toolkit v143)
- Linux (GCC 14, Clang 19)
- Microsoft SQL
- PostgreSQL
- SQLite3
- Oracle database (work in progress)
All functionality is placed inside aLightweight namespace, we also provide an alias for this namespaceLight, that is slightly shorter.
High level API of the library provided by the typeDataMapper
Example of its usage to save/load/update/delete entry in the database for one table
#include<Lightweight/Lightweight.hpp>// Define a person structure, mapping to a table from the databasestructPerson{ Field<SqlGuid, PrimaryKey::AutoAssign> id; Field<SqlAnsiString<25>> name; Field<bool> is_active {true }; Field<std::optional<int>> age;};voidCRUD(DataMapper& dm){// Creates the table if it does not exist dm.CreateTable<Person>();// Create a new person and create a database entryauto person = Person {.name ="John Doe", .is_active =true, .age =24}; dm.Create(person);// Update the age and save to the database person.age =25; dm.Update(person);// Query the person by primary keyif (autoconst po = dm.Query<Person>(person.id); po)std::println("Person: {} ({})", po->name,DataMapper::Inspect(*po));// Query all persons std::vector<Person>const persons = dm.Query<Person>().All();// Query all persons with some filter and order by nameautoconst records = dm.Query<Person>() .Where(FieldNameOf<&Person::is_active>,"=",true) .OrderBy(FieldNameOf<&Person::name>) .All();// Delete the person dm.Delete(person);}
Now consider the following example we have two tablesUser andEmail, with foreign key inEmail pointing to theUserthis will translate in the following structs
structUser{ Light::Field<Light::SqlGuid, Light::PrimaryKey::AutoAssign, SqlRealName {"user_id" }> id {}; Light::Field<Light::SqlAnsiString<30>> name {};};structEmail{ Light::Field<Light::SqlGuid, Light::PrimaryKey::AutoAssign> id {}; Light::Field<Light::SqlAnsiString<30>> address {}; Light::BelongsTo<&User::id, Light::SqlRealName {"user_id" }> user {};};
In the presented example we used rename of the columns, for more details see how-to#rename-column-name page.you can query the email and get access to the user record as well
auto dm = Light::DataMapper::Create();auto email = dm->QuerySingle<Email>(some_email_id).value_or(Email{});auto user_name = email.user->name;// lazily loads the user record
If you have a SQL query that returns some values, but it does not corresponds to the existing table in the database, you can map the result to a simple struct.The struct must have fields that match the columns in the query. The fields can be of any type that can be converted from the column type. The struct can have more fields than the columns in the query, but the fields that match the columns must be in the same order as the columns in the query.
#include<Lightweight/Lightweight.hpp>structSimpleStruct{uint64_t pkFromA;uint64_t pkFromB; SqlAnsiString<30> c1FromA; SqlAnsiString<30> c2FromA; SqlAnsiString<30> c1FromB; SqlAnsiString<30> c2FromB;};voidSimpleStructExample(DataMapper& dm){if (auto maybeObject = dm.Query<SimpleString>("SELECT A.pk, B.pk, A.c1, A.c2, B.c1, B.c2 FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON A.pk = B.pk"); maybeObject) )) {for (autoconst& obj : *maybeObject)std::println("{}",DataMapper::Inspect(obj)); }}
We also provide an API to create SQL queries, this can be usefull if you want to use information from existing structures.The following example shows how to create a query that joins multiple tables and maps the result to multiple structs.Consider the following structs
structCustomBindingA{ Field<uint64_t, PrimaryKey::ServerSideAutoIncrement> id {}; Field<int> number {}; Field<SqlAnsiString<20>> name {}; Field<SqlDynamicWideString<1000>> description {};};structCustomBindingB{ Field<uint64_t, PrimaryKey::ServerSideAutoIncrement> id {}; Field<SqlAnsiString<20>> title {}; Field<SqlDateTime> date_time {}; Field<uint64_t> a_id {}; Field<uint64_t> c_id {};};structCustomBindingC{ Field<uint64_t, PrimaryKey::ServerSideAutoIncrement> id {}; Field<double> value {}; Field<SqlAnsiString<20>> comment {};};
Create a query to join those tables to get in a single query
auto dm = Light::DataMapper::Create();auto query = dm->FromTable(RecordTableName<CustomBindingA>) .Select() .Fields<CustomBindingA, CustomBindingB>() .Field(QualifiedColumnName<"C.id">) .Field(QualifiedColumnName<"C.comment">) .InnerJoin<&CustomBindingB::a_id, &CustomBindingA::id>() .InnerJoin<&CustomBindingC::id, &CustomBindingB::c_id>() .OrderBy(QualifiedColumnName<"A.id">) .All();
This create the following SQL query
SELECT"A"."id","A"."number","A"."name","A"."description","B"."id","B"."title","B"."date_time","B"."a_id","B"."c_id",""C"."id"","C"."comment"FROM"A"INNER JOIN"B"ON"B"."a_id"="A"."id"INNER JOIN"C"ON"C"."id"="B"."c_id"ORDER BY"A"."id"ASC
Now you can execute it and get the result as astd::vector<std::tuple<CustomBindingA, CustomBindingB, ParfOfC> like this
structPartOfC{uint64_t id {}; SqlAnsiString<20> comment {};};autoconst records = dm->Query<CustomBindingA, CustomBindingB, PartOfC>(query);for (autoconst& [a, b, c]: records){// ...}
You need to have the SQLite3 ODBC driver for SQLite installed.
- ODBC driver download URL:http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/
- Example connection string:
"DRIVER={SQLite3 ODBC Driver};Database=file::memory:"
# Fedora Linuxsudo dnf install sqliteodbc# Ubuntu Linuxsudo apt install sqliteodbc# macOSarch -arm64 brew install sqliteodbc
- sqliteODBC Documentation:http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/html/index.html
- Example connection string:
"DRIVER=SQLite3;Database=file::memory:"
You can useddl2cpp to generate header file for you database schema as well as an example file that you can compile
First, configure cmake project and compileddl2cpp target
cmake --build build --target ddl2cpp
Generate header file from the existing database by providing connection string to the tool
./build/src/tools/ddl2cpp --connection-string"DRIVER=SQLite3;Database=test.db" --make-aliases --naming-convention CamelCase --output ./src/examples/example.hpp --generate-exampleYou can also avoid all those command line arguments by creating a config file that muts be in yourcurrent working directory or in one of its parent directories.The config file must be namedddl2cpp.yml and must contain the following content:
ConnectionString:'DSN=YourDSN;UID=YourUser;PWD=YourSecret'OutputDirectory:'src/entities'MakeAliases:trueNamingConvention:CamelCase
Now you can configure cmake to compile example
cmake --preset linux-clang-debug -DLIGHWEIGHT_EXAMPLE=ON -B build
Finally, compile and run the example
cmake --build build&& ./build/src/examples/exampledocker buildx build --progress=plain -f .github/DockerReflection --load.About
