Dapper VS xo

In both samples to get all records and to get a single record works fine but there is a better way to perform the same work using NuGet package Dapper. Dapper is extremely easy to use and built with performance in mind. In the source code provided the basic operations are covered, to take things to the next level and read the information at GitHub, the following page and other code samples in the following repository.

In this article learn how to use Dapper an open-source object-relational mapping (ORM) library for .NET and .NET Core applications. Unlike many articles out there, this one will provide source code to try everything out that is shown in an easy-to-follow way by beginning with a single table then in part two of this series will work with multiple tables.

Dapper

I will be using Dapper - a simple object mapper for .Net along with MySqlConnector.

Maybe the more basic approach to dapper is their documentation https://github.com/DapperLib/Dapper the readme but again most likely you not gonna understand

I think EF Core & EF are the successors to LINQ to SQL that you'd wanna look into, and/or Dapper if you wanna go lower.

The main maintainers of Dapper no longer work at Stack, but they're active enough to comment on recent pull requests: https://github.com/DapperLib/Dapper/pull/1887.

i like xo's approach https://github.com/xo/xo but it is as is. I would love if something similar comes along that is used by db practititoners that is actively used and supported.

I use xo https://github.com/xo/xo . It generates CRUD queries by default so i don't have to write basic queries and it has option to write complex queries like sqlx. Only issue is it is not well documented.

SQL is an old, irregular language to work with, but it is better known than HCL and SQL already has it's own Pulumi/CDK in the form of every ORM with introspection (like Javascript's Prisma, Python's Django, Go's XO etc) and QueryBuilder (LINQ, Knex, etc) in whatever programming language you prefer. You probably already know it.

I am using the library xo to generate basic data retrieval code from a sql schema for a crud api.

Sorry for the confusion, we're not generating the database client itself, more like generating an ORM around a database client. The ORM takes these database clients as dependencies. It's very similar to the way XO works with it's multi-database support: https://github.com/xo/xo/tree/master/_examples/northwind

i use xo . Reason is i prefer designing schema first and creating golang scaffolding later. Xo takes schema and gives me basic create/update/delete operations by default and i can also generate gocode for any sql queries that i write.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I see that it works best with Postgresql. The other commenter mentioned https://github.com/xo/xo for MySql which might work well.

Thanks for your comment and question @onionisfruit. Top-notch handle too!

>> What are your plans for models and persistence?

I haven't worked out all the details, but it's going to be some blend of https://github.com/xo/xo and https://sqlc.dev/.

Design goals:

1. High-level, type-safe "ORM" that's generated from your database schema.
