crystal-odbc

Crystal ODBC driver implements crystal-db API and is a wrapper around unixODBC.

unixODBC is an open-source ODBC-library that you can run on non-Windows platforms. It is the glue between odbc (this shard) and your SQL driver.

Version matters!

If you want to use odbc with unixODBC make sure you are running unixODBC 2.3.7!

Installation

1. Make sure you have unixODBC and SQL Driver (ODBC Driver/Connector) installed. Look into DBMS of your choice and find their ODBC driver installation instructions for your system.

2. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     crystal-odbc:
       github: naqvis/crystal-odbc
   

3. Run shards install

Usage

require "db"
require "odbc"

DB.open "odbc://DSN=dsn;UID=user;PWD=password" do |db|
  db.exec "create table contacts (name text, age integer)"
  db.exec "insert into contacts values (?, ?)", "John Doe", 30

  args = [] of DB::Any
  args << "Sarah"
  args << 33
  db.exec "insert into contacts values (?, ?)", args

  puts "max age:"
  puts db.scalar "select max(age) from contacts" # => 33

  puts "contacts:"
  db.query "select name, age from contacts order by age desc" do |rs|
    puts "#{rs.column_name(0)} (#{rs.column_name(1)})"
    # => name (age)
    rs.each do
      puts "#{rs.read(String)} (#{rs.read(Int32)})"
      # => Sarah (33)
      # => John Doe (30)
    end
  end
end
