First ensure the PHP version is greater or equal to 7

To include the library in an existing project using composer

composer require murage/sqlddl

or in composer.json add as dependency

"murage/sqlddl" : "^2.1.0"

This library is dependent on PHP dotenv and requires .env file at root of the project (env file does not have file name only extension .env; an example is provided). To get started include the following ENV variables to be able to get started (change as per your database connection)

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
DB_PORT=3306
DB_NAME=mydatabase
DB_USERNAME=secret
DB_PASSWORD=secret

where
DB_NAME=your database name

DB_USERNAME=your database username

DB_PASSWORD=your database password

The library utilizes nesting of functions, and does not require instantiating the Builder class. Start each query using :-

Builder::table( "provide the table name here")

Every query returns a json encoded response in format

{ "status": "either error or success",
  "response : "the response from the server",
  "code":"response code"
}

The code depends on the query being executed but on successful query, a code of 200 is returned. Where data is being fetched from the database, an array of records is returned in the response body e.g. :

{"status":success;
"response":
   [
    {"id":5, "colum1":"valueX"},
    {"id":6, "colum1":"valueK"}
    ],
 "code":200
}

Other response codes are here. All queries that normally do not fetch any value from the database on successful execution will return

{"status":success;
"response": "success",
 "code":200
}

To perform a basic select from table test

Builder::table('test')
    ->get();

or to just select everything in the table

Builder::table('test')
      ->all();

To select only fifty records

 Builder::table('test')
        ->get(50);

To select only 3 columns

    Builder::table('test)
        ->select('column1','column2','column3')
        ->get()

To select column1 but alias as name

Builder::table('test)
            ->select('column1 as name','column2','column3')
            ->get()

To select using where condition

• where column1 equals numbers

Builder::table ('test')
    ->where('column1','=','numbers')
    ->get()

• or this can be simplified as

  Builder::table ('test') ->where('column1','numbers') ->get()

allowed conditions include for where clause include

< , > , <> , != , <= , >= , =, IS, IS NOT, <=> 

To perform an insert

Builder::table('test)
        ->insert('data1','data2','data3')
        ->into('column1','column2','column3')

To truncate table test

Builder::table('test')
->truncate();

To drop table test

Builder::table('test')
->drop();
