Unified DB Access

Features:

• Easy to use thanks to PHP8 Named Arguments features

Basic example

// Setup table structure and driver
$udb = new UniDb(
    new SqliteDriver(new \PDO("sqlite::memory:")),
    new Schema(
        [
            "User" => [
                "indexes" => ["user_name"]
            ]
        ]
    )
);

// Create the schema (if it does not already exist)
echo $udb->createSchema();

// Select the 'User' Table
$userTbl = $udb->with("User");

// Insert two entities
$userTbl->insert(["user_id"=>"user1", "user_name" => "Bob"]);
$userTbl->insert(["user_id"=>"user2", "user_name" => "Alice"]);

// Query all datasets with user_name='Bob' OR user_name='Alice'
foreach ($userTbl->query(stmt: new OrStmt(["user_id", "=", "Bob"], ["user_id", "=", "Alice"])) as $data) {
    print_R ($data);
}

Installation

composer require phore/unidb

Defining the schema

UniDb requires basic information about the schema to run queries against.

Querying data

public  UniDb::query(
    $stmt = null, 
    string $table = null, 
    int $page = null, 
    int $limit = null,
    string $orderBy = null, 
    string $orderType="ASC",
    bool $cast = false
) : \Generator

Accessing the data using generators

The easies way to access the data is to use generators:

foreach ($odb->query(table: "User") as $user) {
    print_r ($user); // Will output
}

Accessing full Result Set / Limit results / Page offsets

$odb->query(table: "User", limit: 10, page: 1);
print_r ($odb->result->getResult());

See output / full example

Using Object Casting / Entities

UniDb can work with Objects and therefor uses phore/hydrator to cast the result set into objects. Activate this feature by specifying cast: SomeClass::class in Argument list.

To use casting functionality you have to add package phore/hydrator to your composer.json requirements

foreach ($odb->query(table: "User", cast: User::class) as $obj) {
    print_r ($obj); // Instance of User class
}

See details manual page for Object casting

Quering all data of a table

$odb->query(table: "User")

Sorting the data

Statements

To be compatible to as well SQL and NoSql Databases, UniDb uses Statements to query data. By default statements will be chained by AND statements.

AND Statement

new AndStmt(["name", "=", "Bob"], ["user_name", "=", "bob1"]);
// => SELECT ... WHERE name='Bob' AND name='Alice'

OR Statement

new OrStmt(["name", "=", "Bob"], ["name", "=", "Alice"]);
// => SELECT ... WHERE name='Bob' OR name='Alice'

Nested Statements

new AndStmt(["name", "=", "Bob"], new OrStmt(["name", "=", "Bob"], ["name", "=", "Alice"]));
// => SELECT ... WHERE name='Bob' AND ( name='Bob' OR name='Alice' )

Batch Update

UniDb comes with buildin syncronisation methods to initialize and update records
