This XQuery Module contains functions to access relational databases from XQuery using SQL. With this module, you can execute query, update and prepared statements, and the result sets are returned as sequences of XML elements representing tuples. Each element has children representing the columns returned by the SQL statement.

This module uses JDBC to connect to a SQL server. Hence, your JDBC driver will need to be added to the classpath, too. If you work with the full distributions of BaseX, you can copy the driver into the lib directory. To connect to MySQL, for example, download the Connector/J Driver and extract the archive into this directory.

Conventions

All functions and errors in this module are assigned to the http://basex.org/modules/sql namespace, which is statically bound to the sql prefix.

Functions

sql:init

Signatures sql:init($class as xs:string) as empty-sequence()
Summary This function initializes a JDBC driver specified via $class. This step might be superfluous if the SQL database is not embedded.
Errors init: the specified driver is not found.

sql:connect

Signatures sql:connect($url as xs:string) as xs:anyURI
sql:connect($url as xs:string, $username as xs:string, $password as xs:string) as xs:anyURI
sql:connect($url as xs:string, $username as xs:string, $password as xs:string, $options as map(*)?) as xs:anyURI
Summary This function establishes a connection to a relational database and returns a connection id. The parameter $url is the URL of the database and shall be of the form: jdbc:<driver name>:<server> [/<database>]. If $username and $password are specified, they are used as credentials for connecting to the database. The $options parameter can be used to set connection options.
Errors error: an SQL exception occurred when connecting to the database.
Examples Connects to an SQL Server and sets autocommit to true:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> sql:connect('dbc:sqlserver://DBServer', map { 'autocommit': true() }) </syntaxhighlight>

sql:execute

Signatures sql:execute($id as xs:anyURI, $statement as xs:string) as item()*
sql:execute($id as xs:anyURI, $statement as xs:string, $options as map(*)?) as item()*
Summary This function executes an SQL $statement, using the connection with the specified $id. The returned result depends on the kind of statement:
  • If an update statement was executed, the number of updated rows will be returned as integer.
  • Otherwise, an XML representation of all results will be returned.

With $options, the following parameter can be set:

  • timeout: query execution will be interrupted after the specified number of seconds.
Errors error: an error occurred while executing SQL.
id: the specified connection does not exist.
timeout: query execution exceeded timeout.

sql:execute-prepared

Signatures sql:execute-prepared($id as xs:anyURI, $params as element(sql:parameters)) as item()*
sql:execute-prepared($id as xs:anyURI, $params as element(sql:parameters), $options as map(*)?) as item()*
Summary This function executes a prepared statement with the specified $id. The output format is identical to sql:execute. The optional parameter $params is an element <sql:parameters/> representing the parameters for a prepared statement along with their types and values. The following schema shall be used:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> element sql:parameters {

 element sql:parameter {
   attribute type { "bigdecimal" | "boolean" | "byte" | "date" | "double" | "float" |
     "int" | "long" | "short" | "sqlxml" | "string" | "time" | "timestamp" },
   attribute null { "true" | "false" }?,
   text
 }+

}? </syntaxhighlight> With $options, the following parameter can be set:

  • timeout: query execution will be interrupted after the specified number of seconds.
Errors attribute: an attribute different from type and null is set for a <sql:parameter/> element.
error: an error occurred while executing SQL.
id: the specified connection does not exist.
parameters: no parameter type specified.
timeout: query execution exceeded timeout.
type: the value of a parameter cannot be converted to the specified format.

sql:prepare

Signatures sql:prepare($id as xs:anyURI, $statement as xs:string) as xs:anyURI
Summary This function prepares an SQL $statement, using the specified connection $id, and returns the id reference to this statement. The statement is a string with one or more '?' placeholders. If the value of a field has to be set to NULL, then the attribute null of the <sql:parameter/> element must be true.
Errors error: an error occurred while executing SQL.
id: the specified connection does not exist.

sql:commit

Signatures sql:commit($id as xs:anyURI) as empty-sequence()
Summary This function commits the changes made to a relational database, using the specified connection $id.
Errors error: an error occurred while executing SQL.
id: the specified connection does not exist.

sql:rollback

Signatures sql:rollback($id as xs:anyURI) as empty-sequence()
Summary This function rolls back the changes made to a relational database, using the specified connection $id.
Errors error: an error occurred while executing SQL.
id: the specified connection does not exist.

sql:close

Signatures sql:close($id as xs:anyURI) as empty-sequence()
Summary This function closes a database connection with the specified $id.
Opened connections will automatically be closed after the XQuery expression has been evaluated, but in order to save memory, it is always recommendable to close connections that are not used anymore.
Errors error: an error occurred while executing SQL.
id: the specified connection does not exist.

Examples

Direct queries

A simple select statement can be executed as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> let $id := sql:connect("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/coffeehouse") return sql:execute($id, "SELECT * FROM coffees WHERE price < 10") </syntaxhighlight>

The result may look like:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> <sql:row xmlns:sql="http://basex.org/modules/sql">

 <sql:column name="cof_name">French_Roast</sql:column>
 <sql:column name="sup_id">49</sql:column>
 <sql:column name="price">3.5</sql:column>
 <sql:column name="sales">15</sql:column>
 <sql:column name="total">30</sql:column>

</sql:row> <sql:row xmlns:sql="http://basex.org/modules/sql">

 <sql:column name="cof_name">French_Roast_Decaf</sql:column>
 <sql:column name="sup_id">49</sql:column>
 <sql:column name="price">7.5</sql:column>
 <sql:column name="sales">10</sql:column>
 <sql:column name="total">14</sql:column>

</sql:row> </syntaxhighlight>

Prepared Statements

A prepared select statement can be executed in the following way:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> (: Establish a connection :) let $conn := sql:connect("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/coffeehouse") (: Obtain a handle to a prepared statement :) let $prep := sql:prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM coffees WHERE price < ? AND cof_name = ?") (: Values and types of prepared statement parameters :) let $params := <sql:parameters>

                <sql:parameter type='double'>10</sql:parameter>
                <sql:parameter type='string'>French_Roast</sql:parameter>
              </sql:parameters>

(: Execute prepared statement :) return sql:execute-prepared($prep, $params) </syntaxhighlight>

SQLite

The following expression demonstrates how SQLite can be addressed with the Xerial SQLite JDBC driver:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> (: Initialize driver :) sql:init("org.sqlite.JDBC"), (: Establish a connection :) let $conn := sql:connect("jdbc:sqlite:database.db") return (

 (: Create a new table :)
