sbt-sql

A sbt plugin for generating model classes from SQL query files in src/main/sql.

Why you need sbt-sql?

Integrate the power of SQL and Scala
- If you write an SQL, it creates a Scala class to read the SQL result.
Type safety
- No longer need to write a code like ResultSet.getColumn("id") etc.
- Editors such as IntelliJ can show the SQL result parameter names and types.
- For example, if you rename a column name in SQL from id to ID, the code using id will be shown as compilation error. Without sbt-sql, it will be a run-time exception, such as Unknown column "id"!.
Reuse your SQL as a template
- You can embed parameters in your SQL with automatically generated Scala functions.

Usage

sbt-sql version: Airframe version:

sbt-sql supports only sbt 1.8.x or higher.

project/plugins.sbt

// For Trino
addSbtPlugin("org.xerial.sbt" % "sbt-sql-trino" % "(version)")

// For DuckDB
addSbtPlugin("org.xerial.sbt" % "sbt-sql-duckdb" % "(version)")

// For SQLite (available since 0.7.0)
addSbtPlugin("org.xerial.sbt" % "sbt-sql-sqlite" % "(version)")

// For Treasure Data Presto
addSbtPlugin("org.xerial.sbt" % "sbt-sql-td" % "(version)")

// For Generic JDBC drivers
addSbtPlugin("org.xerial.sbt" % "sbt-sql" % "(version)")
// Add your jdbc driver dependency for checking the result schema
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
   // Add airframe-codec for mapping JDBC data to Scala objects
   "org.wvlet.airframe" %% "airframe-codec" % "(airframe version)"
   // Add your jdbc driver here
)

build.sbt

This is an example of using a custom JDBC driver:

enablePlugins(SbtSQLJDBC)

// Add your JDBC driver to the dependency
// For using trino-jdbc
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "org.wvlet.airframe" %% "airframe-codec" % "(airframe version)", // Necessary for mapping JDBC ResultSets to model classes
  "io.trino" % "trino-jdbc" % "332"
 )

// You can change SQL file folder. The default is src/main/sql
// sqlDir := (sourceDirectory in Compile).value / "sql"

// Configure your JDBC driver (e.g., using Trino JDBC)
jdbcDriver := "io.trino.jdbc.TrinoDriver"
jdbcURL := "(jdbc url e.g., jdbc:trino://.... )"
jdbcUser := "(jdbc user name)"
jdbcPassword := "(jdbc password)"

sbt-sql-sqlite

sbt-sql-sqlite plugin uses src/main/sql/sqlite as the SQL file directory. Configure jdbcURL and jdbcUser properties:

enablePlugins(SbtSQLSQLite)

jdbcURL := "jdbc:sqlite:(sqlite db file path)"

sbt-sql-duckdb

sbt-sql-duckdb plugin uses src/main/sql/duckdb as the SQL file directory.

enablePlugins(SbtSQLDuckDB)

// [optional]
jdbcURL := "jdbc:duckdb:(duckdb file path)"

sbt-sql-trino

sbt-sql-trino plugin uses src/main/sql/trino as the SQL file directory. Configure jdbcURL and jdbcUser properties:

enablePlugins(SbtSQLTrino)

jdbcURL := "jdbc:trino://(your trino server address):443/(catalog name)"
jdbcUser := "trino user name"

sbt-sql-td (Treasure Data)

To use Treasure Data, set TD_API_KEY environment variable. jdbcUser will be set to this value. src/main/sql/trino will be the SQL file directory.

Alternatively you can set TD_API_KEY in your sbt credential:

$HOME/.sbt/1.0/td.sbt

credentials +=
  Credentials("Treasure Data", "api-presto.treasuredata.com", "(your TD API KEY)", "")

enablePlugins(SbtSQLTreasureData)

Writing SQL

src/main/sql/trino/sample/nasdaq.sql

@(start:Long, end:Long)
select * from sample_datasets.nasdaq
where time between ${start} and ${end}

From this SQL file, sbt-sql generates Scala model classes and several utility methods.

SQL file can contain template variables ${(Scala expression)}. To define user input variables, use @(name:type, ...). sbt-sql generates a function to populate them, such as Nasdaq.select(start = xxxxx, end = yyyyy). The variable can have a default value, e.g., @(x:String="hello").

Template Variable Examples

Embed a String value

@(symbol:String)
select * from sample_datasets.nasdaq
where symbol = '${symbol}'

Embed an input table name as a variable with the default value sample_datasets.nasdaq:

@(table:SQL="sample_datasets.nasdaq")
select * from ${table}

SQL type can be used for embedding an SQL expression as a String.

Import statement

You can use your own type for populating SQL templates by importing your class as follows:

@import your.own.class

Using Option[X] types

To generate case classes with Option[X] parameters, add __optional suffix to the target column names.

select a as a__optional // Option[X] will be used  
from ...

@optional(a, b)
select a, b, c // Option[A], Option[B], C
