Stable Builds

• 2020-09-09 -- 1.1.588

  • Fix #139 by adding next.jdbc.plan/select-one! and next.jdbc.plan/select!.
  • If ResultSet.getMetaData() returns null, we assume the column count is zero, i.e., an empty result set. This should "never happen" but some JDBC drivers are badly behaved and their idea of an "empty result set" does not match the JDBC API spec.

• 2020-08-05 -- 1.1.582

  • Fix #138 by exposing next.jdbc.connection/jdbc-url to build :jdbcUrl values that can be passed to ->pool or component.

• 2020-08-03 -- 1.1.581

  • Fix #137 by adding support for specifying username and password per-connection (if your datasource supports this).
  • Document SQLite handling of bool and bit columns in a new Tips & Tricks section, inspired by #134.
  • Address #133 by adding :return-generated-keys as an option on execute-batch!.

• 2020-07-10 -- 1.1.569

  • Fix #132 by adding specs for next.jdbc/with-options and next.jdbc.prepare/statement; correct spec for next.jdbc.connection/component. PR #131 from @Briaoeuidhtns.
  • Fix #130 by implementing clojure.lang.ILookup on the three builder adapters.
  • Fix #129 by adding with-column-value to RowBuilder and a more generic builder-adapter.
  • Fix #128 by adding a test for the "not found" arity of lookup on mapified result sets.
  • Fix #121 by conditionally adding next.jdbc/snake-kebab-opts, next.jdbc/unqualified-snake-kebab-opts, next.jdbc.result-set/as-kebab-maps, and next.jdbc.result-set/as-unqualified-kebab-maps (which are present only if camel-snake-kebab is on your classpath).
  • Correct MySQL batch statement rewrite tip: it's :rewriteBatchedStatements true (plural). Also surface the batch statement tips in the Tips & Tricks page.
  • Clarify how combining is interleaving with reducing in Reducing and Folding with plan.
  • Use "JDBC URL" consistently everywhere (instead of "JDBC URI" in several places).

• 2020-06-29 -- 1.1.547

  • Address #125 by making the result of plan foldable (in the clojure.core.reducers sense).
  • Address #124 by extending next.jdbc.sql.builder/for-query to support :top (SQL Server), :limit / :offset (MySQL/PostgreSQL), :offset / :fetch (SQL Standard) for find-by-keys.
  • Address #117 by adding next.jdbc.transaction/*nested-tx* to provide control over how attempts to create nested transactions should be handled.
  • Address #116 by adding a :multi-rs option to execute! to retrieve multiple result sets, for example from stored procedure calls or T-SQL scripts.
  • Allow :all to be passed into find-by-keys instead of an example hash map or a where clause vector so all rows will be returned (expected to be used with :offset etc to support simple pagination of an entire table).
  • Add :columns option to find-by-keys (and get-by-id) to specify a subset of columns to be returned in each row. This can also specify an alias for the column and allows for computed expressions to be selected with an alias.

• 2020-06-24 -- 1.0.478

  • Address #123 by adding next.jdbc.types namespace, full of auto-generated as-xxx functions, one for each of the java.sql.Types values.

• 2020-06-22 -- 1.0.476

  • Extend default options behavior to next.jdbc.sql functions.

• 2020-06-22 -- 1.0.475

  • Add tests for "jtds" database driver (against MS SQL Server), making it officially supported.
  • Switch from OpenTable Embedded PostgreSQL to Zonky's version, so that testing can move forward from PostgreSQL 10.11 to 12.2.0.
  • Fix potential reflection warnings caused by next.jdbc.prepare/statement being incorrectly type-hinted.
  • Address #122 by adding next.jdbc/with-options that lets you wrap up a connectable along with default options that should be applied to all operations on that connectable.
  • Address #119 by clarifying realization actions in the docstrings for row-number, column-names, and metadata.
  • Address #115 by adding equivalent of db-do-commands in the clojure.java.jdbc migration guide.
  • Add log4j2 as a test dependency so that I have better control over logging (which makes debugging easier!).

• 2020-05-31 -- 1.0.462

  • Addition of next.jdbc.datafy to provide more datafy/nav introspection (see the additional section in datafy, nav, and :schema for details).
  • Addition of next.jdbc.result-set/metadata to provide (datafied) result set metadata within plan.

• 2020-05-23 -- 1.0.445

  • Enhanced support in plan for "metadata" access: row-number and column-names can be called on the abstract row (even after calling datafiable-row). In addition, Associative access via numeric "keys" will read columns by index, and row abstractions now support Indexed access via nth (which will also read columns by index). Fixes #110.
  • Support for Stuart Sierra's Component library, via next.jdbc.connection/component. See updated Getting Started guide for usage.
  • Add example of getting generated keys from execute-batch!.
  • Add MySQL-specific result set streaming tip.
  • Add array handling example to PostgreSQL Tips & Tricks. PR #108 from @maxp.
  • Investigate possible solutions for #106 (mutable transaction thread safety) -- experimental locking on Connection object.

• 2020-04-10 -- 1.0.424

  • In Tips & Tricks, noted that MySQL returns BLOB columns as byte[] instead of java.sql.Blob.
  • Address #103, #104 by adding a section on timeouts to Tips & Tricks.
  • Fix #102 by allowing keywords or strings in :return-keys.
  • Fix #101 by tightening the spec on a JDBC URL to correctly reflect that it must start with jdbc:.
  • Add support for calling .getLoginTimeout/.setLoginTimeout on the reified DataSource returned by get-datasource when called on a hash map "db-spec" or JDBC URL string.
  • Documentation improvements based on feedback (mostly from Slack), including a section on database metadata near the end of Getting Started.

• 2020-03-16 -- 1.0.409

  • Address #100 by adding support for MariaDB (@green-coder). Set NEXT_JDBC_TEST_MARIADB=true as well as NEXT_JDBC_TEST_MYSQL=true in order to run tests against MariaDB.

• 2020-03-14 -- 1.0.405 (no code changes -- just documentation)

  • Improve documentation around plan so reduce etc is more obvious.
  • Attempt to drive readers to cljdoc.org instead of the GitHub version (which is harder to navigate).

• 2020-03-02 -- 1.0.395

  • Add read-as-instant and read-as-local functions to next.jdbc.date-time to extend ReadableColumn so that SQL DATE and TIMESTAMP columns can be read as Java Time types.
  • Specifically call out PostgreSQL as needing next.jdbc.date-time to enable automatic conversion of java.util.Date objects to SQL timestamps for prepared statements (#95).
  • Split Tips & Tricks into its own page, with a whole new section on using JSON data types with PostgreSQL (#94 -- thank you @vharmain).
  • Bump dependencies to latest.

• 2020-02-28 -- 1.0.384

  • Add PostgreSQL streaming option information to Tips & Tricks (#87).
  • Minor documentation fixes (including #85, #92, #93).
  • Improve Unknown dbtype exception message (to clarify that :classname is also missing, #90).
  • Fix #88 by using 1-arity keyword call when table name unavailable (or :qualifier-fn returns nil or an empty string); also allows :qualifier-fn function to be called on empty table name (so :qualifier-fn (constantly "qual") will now work much like clojure.java.jdbc's :qualifier "qual" worked).
  • Address #89, #91 by making minor performance tweaks to next.jdbc.result-set functions.
  • Planning to move to MAJOR.MINOR.COMMITS versioning scheme (1.0.384).

• 2019-12-20 -- 1.0.13

  • Fix #82 by adding clojure.java.data-based support for setting arbitrary properties on Connection and PreparedStatement objects, post-creation. Note: this uses the Java reflection API under the hood.
  • Adds next.jdbc.prepare/statement to create Statement objects with all the options available to prepare except :return-keys.
  • Update org.clojure/java.data to 0.1.5 (for property setting).
  • Additional clarifications in the documentation based on feedback on Slack.

• 2019-12-11 -- 1.0.12

  • Address #81 by splitting the SQL-building functions out of next.jdbc.sql into next.jdbc.sql.builder.
  • Fix #80 by avoiding the auto-commit restore after a failed rollback in a failed transaction.
  • Address #78 by documenting the :connectionInitSql workaround for HikariCP/PostgreSQL and non-default schemas.

• 2019-12-07 -- 1.0.11

  • Fix #76 by avoiding conversions on java.sql.Date and java.sql.Timestamp.
  • Add testing against Microsoft SQL Server (run tests with environment variables NEXT_JDBC_TEST_MSSQL=yes and MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD set to your local -- 127.0.0.1:1433 -- SQL Server sa user password; assumes that it can create and drop fruit and fruit_time tables in the model database).
  • Add testing against MySQL (run tests with environment variables NEXT_JDBC_TEST_MYSQL=yes and MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD set to your local -- 127.0.0.1:3306 -- MySQL root user password; assumes you have already created an empty database called clojure_test).
  • Bump several JDBC driver versions for up-to-date testing.
  • Minor documentation fixes.

• 2019-11-14 -- 1.0.10

  • Fix #75 by adding support for java.sql.Statement to plan, execute!, and execute-one!.
  • Address #74 by making several small changes to satisfy Eastwood.
  • Fix #73 by providing a new, optional namespace next.jdbc.date-time that can be required if your database driver needs assistance converting java.util.Date (PostgreSQL!) or the Java Time types to SQL timestamp (or SQL date/time).
  • Fix link to All The Options in Migration from clojure.java.jdbc. PR #71 (@laurio).
  • Address #70 by adding CLOB & BLOB SQL Types to the Tips & Tricks section of Friendly SQL Functions and by adding next.jdbc.result-set/clob-column-reader and next.jdbc.result-set/clob->string helper to make it easier to deal with CLOB column data.
  • Clarify what execute! and execute-one! produce when the result set is empty ([] and nil respectively, and there are now tests for this). Similarly for find-by-keys and get-by-id.
  • Add MS SQL Server section to Tips & Tricks to note that it returns an empty string for table names by default (so table-qualified column names are not available). Using the :result-type (scroll) and :concurrency options will cause table names to be returned.
  • Clarify that Friendly SQL Functions are deliberately simple (hint: they will not be enhanced or expanded -- use plan, execute!, and execute-one! instead, with a DSL library if you want!).
  • Improve migration docs: explicitly recommend the use of a datasource for code that needs to work with both clojure.java.jdbc and next.jdbc; add caveats about column name conflicts (in several places).
  • Improve datafy/nav documentation around :schema.
  • Update org.clojure/java.data to "0.1.4" (0.1.2 fixes a number of reflection warnings).

• 2019-10-11 -- 1.0.9

  • Address #69 by trying to clarify when to use execute-one! vs execute! vs plan.
  • Address #68 by clarifying that builder functions do not affect the "fake result set" containing :next.jdbc/update-count.
  • Fix #67 by adding :jdbcUrl version spec.
  • Add next.jdbc.optional/as-maps-adapter to provide a way to override the default result set reading behavior of using .getObject when omitting SQL NULL values from result set maps.

• 2019-09-27 -- 1.0.8

  • Fix #66 by adding support for a db-spec hash map format containing a :jdbcUrl key (consistent with ->pool) so that you can create a datasource from a JDBC URL string and additional options.
  • Address #65 by adding a HugSQL "quick start" to the Friendly SQL Functions section of the docs.
  • Add next.jdbc.specs/unstrument. PR #64 (@gerred).
  • Address #63 by improving documentation around qualified column names and :qualifier (clojure.java.jdbc) migration, with a specific caveat about Oracle not fully supporting .getTableName().

• 2019-09-09 -- 1.0.7

  • Address #60 by supporting simpler schema entry formats: :table/column is equivalent to the old [:table :column :one] and [:table/column] is equivalent to the old [:table :column :many]. The older formats will continue to be supported but should be considered deprecated. PR #62 (@seancorfield).
  • Added test for using ANY(?) and arrays in PostgreSQL for IN (?,,,?) style queries. Added a Tips & Tricks section to Friendly SQL Functions with database-specific suggestions, that starts with this one.
  • Improved documentation in several areas.

• 2019-08-24 -- 1.0.6

  • Improved documentation around insert-multi! and execute-batch! (addresses #57).
  • Fix #54 by improving documentation around data type conversions (and the ReadableColumn and SettableParameter protocols).
  • Fix #52 by using a US-locale function in the "lower" result set builders to avoid unexpected character changes in column names in locales such as Turkish. If you want the locale-sensitive behavior, pass clojure.string/lower-case into one of the "modified" result set builders.
  • Add next.jdbc.result-set/as-maps-adapter and next.jdbc.result-set/as-arrays-adapter to provide a way to override the default result set reading behavior of using .getObject.
  • Update org.clojure/test.check to "0.10.0".

• 2019-08-05 -- 1.0.5

  • Fix #51 by implementing IPersistentMap fully for the "mapified" result set inside plan. This adds support for dissoc and cons (which will both realize a row), count (which returns the column count but does not realize a row), empty (returns an empty hash map without realizing a row), etc.
  • Improved documentation around connection pooling (HikariCP caveats).

• 2019-07-24 -- 1.0.4

  • Fix #50 by adding machinery to test against (embedded) PostgreSQL!
  • Improved documentation for connection pooled datasources (including adding a Component example); clarified the recommendations for globally overriding default options (write a wrapper namespace that suits your usage).
  • Note: this release is primarily to fix the cljdoc.org documentation via repackaging the JAR file.

• 2019-07-23 -- 1.0.3

  • Fix #48 by adding next.jdbc.connection/->pool and documenting how to use HikariCP and c3p0 in the Getting Started docs (as well as adding tests for both libraries).
  • Documentation improvements, including examples of extending ReadableColumn and SettableParameter.
  • Updated test dependencies (testing against more recent versions of several drivers).

• 2019-07-15 -- 1.0.2

  • Fix #47 by refactoring database specs to be a single hash map instead of pouring multiple maps into one.
  • Fix #46 by allowing :host to be :none which tells next.jdbc to omit the host/port section of the JDBC URL, so that local databases can be used with :dbtype/:classname for database types that next.jdbc does not know. Also added :dbname-separator and :host-prefix to the "db-spec" to allow fine-grained control over how the JDBC URL is assembled.
  • Fix #45 by adding TimesTen driver support.
  • Fix #44 so that insert-multi! with an empty rows vector returns [].
  • Fix #43 by adjusting the spec for insert-multi! to "require less" of the cols and rows arguments.
  • Fix #42 by adding specs for execute-batch! and set-parameters in next.jdbc.prepare.
  • Fix #41 by improving docstrings and documentation, especially around prepared statement handling.
  • Fix #40 by adding next.jdbc.prepare/execute-batch!.
  • Added asserts in next.jdbc.sql as more informative errors for cases that would generate SQL exceptions (from malformed SQL).
  • Added spec for :order-by to reflect what is actually permitted.
  • Expose next.jdbc.connect/dbtypes as a table of known database types and aliases, along with their class name(s), port, and other JDBC string components.

• 2019-07-03 -- 1.0.1

  • Fix #37 by adjusting the spec for with-transaction to "require less" of the :binding vector.
  • Fix #36 by adding type hint in with-transaction macro.
  • Fix #35 by explaining the database-specific options needed to ensure insert-multi! performs a single, batched operation.
  • Fix #34 by explaining save points (in the Transactions documentation).
  • Fix #33 by updating the spec for the example key-map in find-by-keys, update!, and delete! to reflect that you cannot pass an empty map to these functions (and added tests to ensure the calls fail with spec errors).

• 2019-06-12 -- 1.0.0 "gold"

  • Address #31 by making reify'd objects produce a more informative string representation if they are printed (e.g., misusing plan by not reducing it or not mapping an operation over the rows).
  • Fix #26 by exposing next.jdbc.result-set/datafiable-result-set so that various java.sql.DatabaseMetaData methods that return result metadata information in ResultSets can be easily turned into a fully realized result set.

• 2019-06-04 -- 1.0.0-rc1:

  • Fix #24 by adding return type hints to next.jdbc functions.
  • Fix #22 by adding next.jdbc.optional with six map builders that omit NULL columns from the row hash maps.
  • Documentation improvements (#27, #28, and #29), including changing "connectable" to "transactable" for the transact function and the with-transaction macro (for consistency with the name of the underlying protocol).
  • Fix #30 by adding modified variants of column name functions and builders. The lower variants have been rewritten in terms of these new modified variants. This adds :label-fn and :qualifier-fn options that mirror :column-fn and :table-fn for row builders.

• 2019-05-24 -- 1.0.0-beta1:

  • Set up CircleCI testing (just local DBs for now).
  • Address #21 by adding next.jdbc.specs and documenting basic usage.
  • Fix #19 by caching loaded database driver classes.
  • Address #16 by renaming reducible! to plan (BREAKING CHANGE!).
  • Address #3 by deciding to maintain this library outside Clojure Contrib.
