What is Slick?

Not an ORM

ORM problems

N+1 problem (lazy / eager fetching)

Session context scope

Execution under the cover (cache)

O-R impedance mismatch

False promise

Leaky abstraction

FRM

Embrace database model through a functional paradigm.

If you come from ORM world:

http://slick.lightbend.com/doc/3.2.3/orm-to-slick.html

Code samples:

SmokeSpec

    




    "correctly open db" in {
      val db = Database.forConfig("memoryDb")
      val results = db.run(sql"SELECT 2 + 3".as[(Int)])
      // results: Future[Seq[Int]]
      

      // option 1 - bad
      blockingWait(results).head shouldBe 5

      // option 2 - better
      results.map { r =>
        r.head shouldBe (5)
      }.futureValue    // this is only for unit tests to work
    }



    memoryDb = {
      connectionPool = disabled
      url = "jdbc:h2:mem:slick-101"
      driver = "org.h2.Driver"
      user = ""
      password = ""
      keepAliveConnection = true
    }

Config

    




    "correctly open db" in {
      val db = Database.forConfig("memoryDb")
      val results = db.run(sql"SELECT 2 + 3".as[(Int)])
      // results: Future[Seq[Int]]
      

      // option 1 - bad
      blockingWait(results).head shouldBe 5

      // option 2 - better
      results.map { r =>
        r.head shouldBe (5)
      }.futureValue    // this is only for unit tests to work
    }



    
        db.run(
            sql"SELECT 2 + 3".as[(Int)]
        )
    
    
    
    
    
        db.run(
            SQLActionBuilder("SELECT 2 + 3", SetUnit).as[Int]
        )

Referential transparency

Local Reasoning



      val invitedStudent = profileDao
        .findByUserId(token.invitingUserId)
        .map(_.get)

      val token = inviteTokenDao
        .update(token.copy(
            invitedUser = Some(
                invitedStudent.userId), 
                isUsed = true
            )
        )

      friendsAndFollowersService
        .makeStudentsFriends(invitedStudent.id, invitingSt.id)

      val invitingStudent = studentProfileDao
        .findByUserId(token.invitingUserId).map(_.get)
      
      userDao.findFullUserById(invitedStudent.userId)
        .map(_.get.user)

Spring annotations









            @Transactional
            public List listStudentsBySchool(long id) {
                ...
                repository.findByClasses_School_Id(id);
                ...
            }

Back to reactive

Reactive (™?)

...wait a minute, JDBC is blocking anyway

Everything is async...

How many connections do you need?

db_pool_connections =

(core_count * 2) + effective_spindle_count

source: postgres docs

Imagine that you have a website that while maybe not Facebook-scale still often has 10,000 users making database requests simultaneously -- accounting for some 20,000 transactions per second.

How big should your connection pool be?

Server handling 10 000 client connections may need not more than 10 connection

The point being...

Use less threads / let CPU be busy

Threads are expensive

Yet traditionally they are wasted on IO

Don't block general threads / use designated thread pool

Type-Safe



CREATE TABLE student (
    id BIGINT GENERATED BY DEFAULT 
        AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    middle_name VARCHAR(100),
    surname VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    nationality VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
);






db.run(
    StudentTable
    .filter(_.name === "John"))
    .result              
)

OK!






db.run(
    StudentTable
    .filter(_.firstName === "John"))
    .result              
)

Wrong!






db.run(
    StudentTable
    .filter(_.name === 153))
    .result              
)

Wrong!

How?

Tables

Code samples:

TableSpec



CREATE TABLE university (
    id BIGINT GENERATED BY DEFAULT 
        AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    middle_name VARCHAR(100)
);


  // in-application respresentation of table's tuple
  case class University(name: String,
                        id: Long = -1L)

  // definition of table
  class UniversityTable(tag: Tag) extends Table[University](
    tag, "university") {
    
    def name = column[String]("name")
    def id = column[Long]("id", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc)

    // default projection
    def * = (name, id) <> (University.tupled, 
                           University.unapply)
  }

  // 'table' object used for interacting with in app
  lazy val UniversityTable = TableQuery[UniversityTable]







  // creating schema
  override protected def beforeEach {
    blockingWait(db.run(UniversityTable.schema.create))
  }

    "be insertable and retrievable - poor version" in {
      // read everything from a table
      blockingWait(db.run(UniversityTable.result)) should 
                    have size 0

      // insert into table
      blockingWait(db.run(
        UniversityTable ++= Seq(
          University("Hogwart"),
          University("Scala University")
        )
      ))

      // read again
      val results = blockingWait(
            db.run(UniversityTable.result)
      )

      results.map(_.name) should contain theSameElementsAs
        Seq("Hogwart", "Scala University")
    }

Poor version

Queries

Code samples:

QueriesSpec

      // here we get Future[Seq[Student]]
      db.run(StudentTable.result) 
        // here I map over Future
        // within map we have results: Seq[Student]
        .map { results => 
            // we map it to (String, String)
            results.map(student => (student.name, 
                                    student.surname))    
      }
      // we end up with Future[Seq[(String, String)]]

select "NAME", "MIDDLE_NAME", "SURNAME", "NATIONALITY", "ID" 
from "STUDENT"

Actual query


      db.run(
        StudentTable.map { student =>
            // here I map over query!
            (student.name, student.surname)
        }
        .result
      )
      // we end up with Future[Seq[(String, String)]]

select "NAME" "SURNAME"
from "STUDENT"

Actual query


      db.run(
        StudentTable.map { student =>
            // here I map over query!
            (student.name, student.surname)
        }
        .result
      )
      // we end up with Future[Seq[(String, String)]]

Steps of execution


def execQuery[E, U, C[_]](q: Query[E, U, C]): Future[C[U]] = 
    db.run(    // convert into Future
        q.result    // convert into DBIO
    )

The best approach to write queries using Slick’s type-safe API is thinking in terms of Scala collections.

    select  "NAME", 
            "MIDDLE_NAME", 
            "SURNAME", 
            "NATIONALITY", 
            "ID" 
    
    from    "STUDENT"




    StudentTable

// or

    for {student <- StudentTable }
        yield student

    select  "NAME", 
            "MIDDLE_NAME", 
            "SURNAME", 
            "NATIONALITY", 
            "ID" 
    
    from    "STUDENT"




    for {student <- StudentTable }
        yield student

// or

    StudentTable.map { student =>
        student
    }




    for { 
        x <- XXX 
        y <- YYY
        z <- ZZZ
    } yield x * y * z

// or

    XXX.flatMap { x =>
        YYY.flatMap { y =>
            ZZZ.map { z =>
                x * y * z
            }
        }
    }





execQuery(
    StudentTable
)


def execQuery[E, U, C[_]](q: Query[E, U, C]): Future[C[U]] = 
    db.run(    // convert into Future
        q.result    // convert into DBIO
    )

      


    StudentTable
        .map(_.name)

    

    select "NAME" 
    
    from "STUDENT"




    StudentTable
        .map(s => 
            (s.name, s.middleName.ifNull("*no-middlename*"))
        )
        .sortBy(_.name)

    select  "NAME", 
            ifnull("MIDDLE_NAME",'*no-middlename*') 
    
    from "STUDENT" 
    order by "NAME"

Wrong!

The best approach to write queries using Slick’s type-safe API is thinking in terms of Scala collections.




        List<Integer> num = 
            Arrays.asList(
                new Student("John", "Doe"), 
                new Student("Rowan", "Atkinson")

DBIOAction / DBIO

DBIOAction[R, S, E]

R - type of result
S - streaming / not streaming
E - what kind of effect

DBIO[R] =

DBIOAction[R, NoStream, Effect.All]

R - type of result

  def executeReadOnly[R, S <: dbio.NoStream](
    readOnlyOper: DBIOAction[R, S, Effect.Read] // param decl
  ): Future[Unit] = { // result type
    db.run(readOnlyOper).map { results =>
      log.info(s"Results are: $results")
    }
  }

// this works
executeReadOnly(UniversityTable.result)

// this won't even compile
executeReadOnly(UniversityTable += University("Nice try!"))

// DBIOAction[Seq[University], Stream, Effect.Read]
db.run(
    UniversityTable.result

Query

Query[M, U, C]

M - mixed type

U - unpacked type

C - collection type


UniversityTable                            
    .filter(_.name === "Hogwarth")

What are unpacked (U), mixed (M) and collection (C) types?


UniversityTable                            
    .filter(_.name === "Hogwarth")    
    // _ above is UniverityTable (M)


  // unpacked type
  case class University(name: String,
                        id: Long = -1L)

  // mixed type
  class UniversityTable(tag: Tag) extends Table[University](
    tag, "university") {
    
    def name = column[String]("name")
    def id = column[Long]("id", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc)

    // default projection
    def * = (name, id) <> (University.tupled, 
                           University.unapply)
  }








db.run(    // Future[Seq[University]]

   UniversityTable.filter(uni => // Query[UniversityTable,

       uni.name === "Hogwarth"

gimme a break...

The other thing worth to remember

It's (mostly) all about DBIO composition

Composition / Transactions

DBIO.transactionally

Click

db.run(
    (UniversityTable ++= Seq(
      University("Hogwart"),
      University("Scala University")
    )).transactionally
)

Transactions - example

OK, but how do we combine DB operations?

DBIO is a monad

db.run(
    (for {
        dbio1 <- insertUnis
        dbio2 <- ...
        dbio3 <- ...
        ...
        dbioN <- ...
    } yield {
        ...
    }).transactionally
)

def insertUnis: DBIO[Option[Int]] =
    UniversityTable ++= Seq(
      University("Hogwart"),
      University("Scala University")
    )

map / flatMap

seq

    val combined: DBIO[Unit] = DBIO.seq(
        produceDbOper1,    // DBIO[T]
        produceDbOper2,    // DBIO[R]
        produceDbOper3     // DBIO[M]
    )

sequence

    val combined: DBIO[Seq[T]] = DBIO.sequence(
        Seq(
            produceDbOper1, // DBIO[T]
            produceDbOper2, // DBIO[T]
            produceDbOper3  // DBIO[T]
        )
    )

  db.run( // Future[Seq[Seq[Course]]]
    for {
      students <- StudentTable.result
      courses <- DBIO.sequence(students.map(fetchMoreData))
    } yield {
      courses
    }
  )


...


  private def fetchMoreData(student: Student): 
    DBIO[Seq[Course]] = {
    (for {
      segment <- StudentCourseSegmentTable 
                if segment.studentId === student.id
      course <- segment.course
    } yield {
      course
    }).result
  }

unit

db.run(
    (for {
        student <- StudentTable
                    .filter(_.name === "Tim").result // DBIO
        smthNotDb <- calculateSomethingNotDb(student) // duh?!
        _ <- updateBasedOnCalculation(smthNotDb) // DBIO
    } yield (...)).transcationally
)

Wrong!

DBIO.successful

db.run(
    (for {
        student <- StudentTable
                    .filter(_.name === "Tim").result // DBIO
        smthNotDb <- DBIO.successful(
            calculateSomething(student)
        ) // Yeah!
        _ <- updateBasedOnCalculation(smthNotDb) // DBIO
    } yield (...)).transcationally
)





    def execTransact[T](dbio: DBIO[T]): Future[T] = 
        db.run(dbio.transactionally)

Combine operations & fire within transtion

How does FP deal with effects?

They cheat

If you cannot solve the problem, change it into problem you can solve

Errors?

Exceptions



    // File Name : ExcepTest.java
    import java.io.*;
    
    public class ExcepTest {
    
       public static void main(String args[]) {
          try {
             int a[] = new int[2];
             System.out.println("Access element three :" + a[3]);
          } catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
             System.out.println("Exception thrown  :" + e);
          }
          System.out.println("Out of the block");
       }
    }

A better alternative is to have your functions return error values when things go wrong, and to deal with these explicitly, no matter how verbose it might be.
