sqlweld

sqlweld is a CLI tool designed to help manage large libraries of SQL statements that need to reuse the same SQL clauses.

  • Permissions checks often look very similar between queries, and updating these clauses is both tedious and a potential source of security bugs.
  • Some queries need a number of slight variations, and while they can be formatted at runtime, this loses the benefits that come from your queries being statically defined, especially with tools that do compile-time checking like sqlx.

sqlweld is designed to help solve these problems. Query files are Tera templates ending in the .sql.tera extension. The Tera syntax is similar, though not exactly the same as, Jinja.

Partials and macro files can end with .macros.sql.tera or .partial.sql.tera. The tool will render a .sql file for each non-partial template it finds.

sqlweld is also a Rust library and can used from a build.rs file. By setting the print_rerun_if_changed option, it will automatically print the appropriate statements to rerun if the queries change.

Installation

Check the releases page for Homebrew, npm, curl, and other options. Of course, cargo install sqlweld also works if you already have Rust installed.

Watch Mode

Watch mode is not directly supported yet. Until it is, a tool such as watchexec can accomplish the same functionality.

watchexec --exts tera -- sqlweld -v

Example

This example shows a simple use of the tool, with two queries that share a permissions check partial.

Input

get_some_objects.sql.tera

{% import "perm_check" as macros %}
SELECT * FROM some_objects
WHERE id=$[obj_id] AND team = $[team_id]
AND {{ macros::perm_check(table="'some_objects'") }}

update_some_objects.sql.tera

{% import "perm_check" as macros %}
UPDATE some_objects
SET value = 'a' 
WHERE id=$[obj_id] AND team = $[team_id]
AND {{ macros::perm_check(action="'write'", table="'some_objects'") }}

perm_check.partial.sql.tera

{%- macro perm_check(user="$[user_id]", team="$[team_id]", action="'read'", table) -%}
EXISTS (
  SELECT 1
  FROM permissions
  WHERE user_id = {{ user }}
  AND team_id = {{ team }}
  AND action = {{ action }}
  AND object_type = {{table}}
)
{%- endmacro perm_check %}

Output

get_some_objects.sql

SELECT * FROM some_objects
WHERE id=$[obj_id] AND team = $[team_id]
AND EXISTS (
  SELECT 1
  FROM permissions
  WHERE user_id = $[user_id]
  AND team_id = $[team_id]
  AND action = 'read'
  AND object_type = 'some_objects'
)

update_some_objects.sql

UPDATE some_objects
SET value = 'a' 
WHERE id=$[obj_id] AND team = $[team_id]
AND EXISTS (
  SELECT 1
  FROM permissions
  WHERE user_id = $[user_id]
  AND team_id = $[team_id]
  AND action = 'write'
  AND object_type = 'some_objects'
)
