Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

MySQL client

Description

A small MySQL client library for chicken-scheme. This egg makes it possible to execute an SQL query on a MySQL database.

Authors

Carl

Requirements

Requires MySQL database system development components, libmysqlclient and mysql_config.

The mysql_config program needs to be in the $PATH so the linker can find the native MySQL libraries.

On a Linux machine, consider trying:

 apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

Installation

 
 chicken-install -s mysql-client

With MySQL 5.5.24, the compiled mysql-client library does not have an absolute path to the libmysqlclient dependency, this can be corrected with the following command

 sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.18.dylib $(mysql_config --variable=pkglibdir)/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/lib/chicken/6/mysql-client.so

API

[procedure] (make-mysql-connection hostname username password schema)

This procedure will return a procedure that contains a closed off MySQL connection and can execute a query when called:

[procedure] (unnamed-mysql-connection-closure sql-statement . placeholder-values-alist)

This will return a row fetcher closure, either provide a procedure to apply to all rows or call with no parameters to return the next row:

[procedure] (unnamed-mysql-row-fetcher-closure . thunk)

Alternatively to apply a procedure directly to the MySQL connection pointer, pass a procedure:

[procedure] (unnamed-mysql-connection-closure thunk)
[parameter] (mysql-null value)

MySQL null field parameter. Called with one argument, will set the value representing a MySQL null.

[procedure] (mysql-null? value)

Returns true if value is the MySQL null representative.

Examples

Here is a trivial example:

 (use mysql-client)
 (define mysql (make-mysql-connection "localhost" "root" #f "information_schema"))
 (define fetch (mysql "SELECT * FROM schemata"))
 (display (fetch))
 (newline)

Here is an example that will use the mysql_real_escape_string MySQL function to safely escape parameters in the query string using a placeholder syntax. In this case, the first argument is a string containing an SQL query, and the second argument will be an association list where the key represents the placeholder symbol in the query.

 (use mysql-client)
 (define mysql (make-mysql-connection "localhost" "username" "secret" "database"))
 (define fetch (mysql "SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE c1 = '$1' OR c2 = '$2'" 
                      '(($1 . "value 1';' ;")($2 . "value 2'; drop database; "))))
 (display (fetch))
 (newline)

Other placeholder conventions are possible as well, as the keys from the association list are matched in the query.

 (define fetch (mysql
               "SELECT * FROM t WHERE created_on < '?to' AND created_on > '?from' LIMIT 5"
                    '((?from . "2012-04-01 00:00")(?to . "2012-04-01 24:00"))))

To apply a procedure to every row, pass a procedure to the fetcher closure.

 (fetch (lambda(r) (printf "~S~%" r)))

For power users, to access directly the MySQL connection object pointer, pass a procedure to the MySQL client closure.

 (use mysql-client)
 (define mysql (make-mysql-connection "localhost" "username" "secret" "database"))
 (define fetch (mysql (lambda(c)(printf "~S ~%" c))))
 (display (fetch))
 (newline)
