Rewrite it in rust. Now get a lifetime of problems

[โ€“] bappity 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

just started out rust and made a massive thing with sqlx only to find out the latest versions don't have mssql support anymore and the last version that did doesn't support decoding DateTime<Utc> ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

had to rewrite the whole thing again with Tiberius, painful yet educational

@bappity @RustyNova I was stuck on the same thing, there's no way to make it compatible? How do you handle dates?

No idea for Tiberius, but for SQLite I'm stuck with converting to timestamp and back. Ugly but works

P.S. add a getter to your data struct and you can be "seamless"

I switched to using tiberius

bit different but not too hard don't have my code on hand atm but this is how I started with it

    let mut config = Config::new();
    config.host("your_server_name");
    config.database("your_database_name");
    config.authentication(tiberius::AuthMethod::sql_server("your_username", "your_password"));
    config.trust_cert();

    let tcp = TcpStream::connect(config.get_addr()).await?;
    tcp.set_nodelay(true)?;
    
    let mut client = Client::connect(config, tcp.compat_write()).await?;

then I did something along the lines of

fn main() {
        let stream = client.query(&query, &[]).await?;
        let rows = stream.into_first_result().await?;

        let db_data: Vec<MyObject> = rows.into_iter().map(mapping_function_i_made_for_myobject).collect();
}

fn mapping_function_i_made_for_myobject(row: Row) -> MyObject {
    MyObject {
        my_date_field: row.get::<NaiveDateTime, _>("my_date_field").map(|dt| Local.from_local_datetime(&dt).unwrap()),
    }
}

Sadly sqlx seems to have gone semi-proprietary with their MSQL driver. Personally never understood the appeal of mssql when there's Postgres and SQLite, but hey, it does work.

I've started using welds as my new ORM of choice as SeaORM and Diesel is just not a friendly experience, and supports Mssql OOB. So it's nice there's still options for it.
