SQLx is my favorite PostgreSQL driver to use with Rust.

[@256k_]

this was such a good intro to DB handling in rust! definitely demystified a lot the process. i was still learning rust building up to using it for backend development by for some reason was really terrified of how it would be like but honestly its really a reasonable experience and im looking forward to getting to that point.

[@dreamsofcode]

I'm really glad to hear that! Thank you for the feedback. I'm looking forward to doing some more microservice content in rust in the future as well.

[@spr3ez]

Really love your videos. Rust and Postres are just best. keep it up!

[@dreamsofcode]

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot.

These tutorials are brilliant. Keep going you have something here :)

[@vlad7951]

Nice! Thanks for the video! It helped me a lot with a small project that I had to move from SQLite to Postgres coming from a JS background.

[@chuckocheret4115]

Thanks for this! Got me up to speed much more quickly than the docs.

[@jmon24ify]

Nice video! How the code is written remind me a lot of how I did things in PHP back in the day so it was very easy to understand.

[@minzmango1915]

Man, you're a blessing. I don't really care about Rust that much tbh, but I just love your videos

@@dreamsofcode Since you seem to like it, I'd be interested in a Postgres deep dive (like interesting features it has that other DBMS don't or something like that). But honestly I'll consume whatever you upload

[@sergp7480]

the density of knowledge is insane, keep it up! I really like your rust videos. Have you thought about creating rust + iced video or any other idiomatic rust gui lib?

[@dreamsofcode]

Thank you! I appreciate that. I wonder if it's perhaps too dense and I should spread it out some what 😅. I haven't yet but I will look into it! I've wanted to do a gui library video for a while so perhaps now is a good excuse to do so!

[@jacoblaney3011]

Really dig the video. Dig all of your vids actually. I just have one question: what next? I get this is more of a theory driven video, showing how interacting with a Postgres database can be done via Rust using a rust crate but how might one use something like this in a real application outside of just changing the params and CRUD code in your IDE? Maybe showing what it takes to have a JavaScript front end that invokes a Rust backend? Or even just a command line interaction?

[@dreamsofcode]

Thank you for the feedback. That's a great question. I think a video that goes over the entire flow of creating a microservices in rust might be beneficial to help tie everything together!

[@yapet]

I don’t think you need turbofish for query_as. I find it much more convenient to just add type annotation to the variable declaration, ie`let book: Book = …` God I love ocaml-ish/haskell-ish type deduction of rust.

[@ant1fact]

I like to annotate my variables too. There are still some places like closures where you can't always avoid turbofish though

[@LinuxForLife]

Really inspiring! Thank for the share. 👍🍬

A thumbs up solely for the mean girl's reference. solid and informational material but yeah, mean girls.

[@vencler]

Hey, unrelated question/suggestion: would you be willing to create a video covering your setup (tooling, apps, themes, best practices, anything usefuf/interesting in regards to software/hardware.)? If so, that would be dope. :)

[@dreamsofcode]

I absolutely would love to! I have so many videos I could make on it haha

[@vencler]

@@dreamsofcode i turned on the notifications, looking forward to it!

[@kappilino]

Is SQLx verifying the querys in term of securtiy aspekts as sql injections ? Because it is quite time consuming and error-prone to do it yourself. The posgres crate and rusqulite make this

[@Mankepanke]

Yes, since parameters are all bound parameters.

[@brencancer]

i like the code editor , is it sublime, atom or vscode? linux distro??

[@theintjengineer]

It looks like a highly customised (Neo)Vim [an editor]; this isn't the best part though - it's this skills with it. It's probably what he talks about on one of the videos in the same playlist ["Perfect Neovim setup for Rust"]

[@Mankepanke]

It's NeoVim, inside of Tmux running the Catppuccin theme. Looks like.

[@TheBurntHoney]

Why do you have the query on two seperate lines? Eg q=“” query=sqlx::query(q)

[@АртемФедоров-ю7б]

what about choosing database driver at runtime? for example if application needs to support at least 2 databases - sqlite for tests and postgres for production?

[@dreamsofcode]

Id personally use PostgreSQL for testing via something like testcontainers. Otherwise you're not really testing your database interactions with PostgreSQL. I'll have a video coming out about that soon!

[@chuckocheret4115]

The GitHub link provided doesn't appear to actually contain the Rust code from the video.

[@narthanaj]

Im gonna learn rust

[@uberloss]

I'm a beginner and I find bugs in the tutorial hard to figure out like why the second argument to update() is never used. What is the point of it.

4:39 - typo &sqlx::PgPool not &sqlx:PgPool 4:43 - typo $1 not %1

What are your thoughts on SeaORM?

[@dreamsofcode]

I need to try it out, really! Although personally I tend to not use ORM's too often as I like to handcraft SQL sometimes. SeaORM does look really appealing though.

[@ProjectWeekend-h4z]

I don't care about Rust, the video is just enjoyable 😁

[@dreamsofcode]

That means an awful lot to me! ❤️ Is there anything you'd like to see that I can create for you?

[@bendo01]

can you teach us using sqlxmq ?

[@clusterdriven]

Is there a way to have the migrations have some programmatic sauce in them? I see the migrations in the SQL format. I wonder if there is a way to write migrations in rust instead?

[@dreamsofcode]

An ORM would be able to do migrations in Rust. SeaORM is one that's pretty popular

[@johnnyblack4261]

WHich one should I use sqlx or sea-orm?

[@dreamsofcode]

It depends on what your personal preference is! I typically prefer raw SQL to ORMs as I feel it gives a greater level of understanding, but not everyone thinks the same way as I do

[@johnnyblack4261]

@@dreamsofcode I see mate, after taking a look between the two, I think I would prefer Sea_orm as you are not using strings to do select statements etc, easily using strings to do select statements can lead to bugs as you can compile it with a syntax error, at least with seaorm it will fail to compile, plus you get auto suggestions.

[@dreamsofcode]

@@johnnyblack4261 I think if that works for you, you should go for it! I tend to make use of testing to be sure that the sql statements work, rather than fully trusting the compiler when it comes to databases!

[@johnnyblack4261]

@@dreamsofcode Ah right makes sense. I actually got another question, if I wanted to have a (small) database webserver and I wanted to use seaorm, would the seaorm code run on the client's software?

[@dreamsofcode]

@@johnnyblack4261 for web applications, generally no. You should have an API that is called and the database connection live on the server.

You completely forgot the sqlx macros, they're really amazing, they run the queries at compile time on your local database to check if they're valid

[@SandwichMitGurke]

and why do you prefer it over diesel?

[@dreamsofcode]

Diesel isn't async, and it's an ORM. So those are the two considerations I have against it.

[@CorneliusCornbread]

Why use tokio over the standard async library?

[@dreamsofcode]

You still need a runtime for async in Rust. I believe there's only async_std, tokio and smol. Tokio is the most popular of the three.

[@sharkpyro93]

what about relationships? there is not 1 single example online on how to handle relationships with sqlx

[@dreamsofcode]

Are you talking about joining data sets using a SQL JOIN and returning the data model?

[@sharkpyro93]

@@dreamsofcode i was referring to provide the query_as() with a model that has some nested structs with different relationships mapping to them automatically, turns out is not doable, its either i go full on raw sql and setting the results manually, or using an orm but diesel orm stinks and seaorm is terrible too, guess i cannot use rust

[@robert-m6u7d]

@@sharkpyro93 I came to the same conclusion. On top of that relationships in SeaORM, according to the docs, have to be done using the lazy concept when you have more than 2 relationships. Which is the same as using sqlx and then manually mapping the results. I invested a lot more than I was anticipating.

[@sharkpyro93]

@@robert-m6u7d yea rust is not a good fit for apps that need intense db crud, takes forever to manually write everything, also its not a safe approach

[@Mankepanke]

I suppose you do it the same way as you always do when not working with an ORM. Is there something specific that you don't find to be working well?
