Crate sqlx

The async SQL toolkit for Rust, built with ❤️ by the LaunchBadge team.

Runtime Support

SQLx supports both the Tokio and async-std runtimes.

You choose which runtime SQLx uses by default by enabling one of the following features:

• runtime-async-std
• runtime-tokio

The runtime-actix feature also exists but is an alias of runtime-tokio.

If more than one runtime feature is enabled, the Tokio runtime is used if a Tokio context exists on the current thread, i.e. tokio::runtime::Handle::try_current() returns Ok; async-std is used otherwise.

Note that while SQLx no longer produces a compile error if zero or multiple runtime features are enabled, which is useful for libraries building on top of it, the use of nearly any async function in the API will panic without at least one runtime feature enabled.

The chief exception is the SQLite driver, which is runtime-agnostic, including its integration with the query macros. However, SqlitePool does require runtime support for timeouts and spawning internal management tasks.

TLS Support

For securely communicating with SQL servers over an untrusted network connection such as the internet, you can enable Transport Layer Security (TLS) by enabling one of the following features:

• tls-native-tls: Enables the native-tls backend which uses the OS-native TLS capabilities:
  • SecureTransport on macOS.
  • SChannel on Windows.
  • OpenSSL on all other platforms.
• tls-rustls: Enables the RusTLS backend, a crossplatform TLS library.
  • Only supports TLS revisions 1.2 and 1.3.
  • If you get HandshakeFailure errors when using this feature, it likely means your database server does not support these newer revisions. This might be resolved by enabling or switching to the tls-native-tls feature.

If more than one TLS feature is enabled, the tls-native-tls feature takes precedent so that it is only necessary to enable it to see if it resolves the HandshakeFailure error without disabling tls-rustls.

Consult the user manual for your database to find the TLS versions it supports.

If your connection configuration requires a TLS upgrade but TLS support was not enabled, the connection attempt will return an error.

The legacy runtime+TLS combination feature flags are still supported, but for forward-compatibility, use of the separate runtime and TLS feature flags is recommended.

Modules

  Provides Decode for decoding values from the database.
• encode
  Provides Encode for encoding values for the database.

  Types for working with errors produced by SQLx.

Macros

• migrate
  Embeds migrations into the binary by expanding to a static instance of Migrator.
• querymacros
  Statically checked SQL query with println!() style syntax.
• query_asmacros
  A variant of [query!] which takes a path to an explicitly defined struct as the output type.
• query_as_uncheckedmacros
  A variant of [query_as!] which does not check the input or output types. This still does parse the query to ensure it’s syntactically and semantically valid for the current database.
• query_filemacros
  A variant of [query!] where the SQL query is stored in a separate file.
• query_file_asmacros
  Combines the syntaxes of [query_as!] and [query_file!].
• query_file_as_uncheckedmacros
  A variant of [query_file_as!] which does not check the input or output types. This still does parse the query to ensure it’s syntactically and semantically valid for the current database.
• query_file_scalarmacros
  A variant of query_scalar! which takes a file path like [query_file!].
• query_file_scalar_uncheckedmacros
  A variant of query_file_scalar! which does not typecheck bind parameters and leaves the output type to inference. The query itself is still checked that it is syntactically and semantically valid for the database, that it only produces one column and that the number of bind parameters is correct.
• query_file_uncheckedmacros
  A variant of [query_file!] which does not check the input or output types. This still does parse the query to ensure it’s syntactically and semantically valid for the current database.
• query_scalarmacros
  A variant of [query!] which expects a single column from the query and evaluates to an instance of QueryScalar.
• query_scalar_uncheckedmacros
  A variant of query_scalar! which does not typecheck bind parameters and leaves the output type to inference. The query itself is still checked that it is syntactically and semantically valid for the database, that it only produces one column and that the number of bind parameters is correct.
• query_uncheckedmacros
  A variant of [query!] which does not check the input or output types. This still does parse the query to ensure it’s syntactically and semantically valid for the current database.
