# sql
sql interactions for ezidam
the purpose of this crate is **only** to interact with the database
## initial setup
- install https://github.com/casey/just (it's like `make` but simpler)
- install https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/tree/main/sqlx-cli (it's the tool to interact with the database)
- install sqlite (if it is not already installed)
- run `just create` to create an empty database
## tools
- `just run` to run pending migrations (in case they are not already applied)
- `just reset` to trash the database, create a new one and apply migrations
## offline
### save
the command `just offline` is used to verify if all sql queries are valid.
the result will be placed in `sqlx-data.json` and is used to compile the crate. if this command fails the crate **will
not compile**.
since this command will have be executed frequently, find a way to run this command when any files are modified inside
this crate.

### check
the command `just offline_check` is here to verify if offline data is up-to-date. it will return a nonzero exit
status if data is not up-to-date.
it is mainly used in CI, but you can also use it to determinate if `just offline` is required to run.
## migrations
### new
use `just new <name>` to create a new SQL migration. the parameter `<name>` should indicate what the migration is doing.
### fix mistakes
if there is a mistake in the latest migration, but it has already been applied, use `just revert_last` to revert it.
make your modifications, and run `just run` to apply it again.
**note**: this works only for the most recent migration, if there is a mistake in an earlier migration, you will have to
reset the whole database with `just reset`.
consider making a new migration to fix the broken migration, and document it.
## miscellaneous
the command `just build_script` will create a rust build script `build.rs` to trigger recompilation when a new migration
is added. this action can be done only at the beginning of the project.
