SingleStore Driver for Laravel

This repository contains a SingleStore Driver for Laravel.

Install

You can install the package via composer:

composer require singlestoredb/singlestoredb-laravel

Usage

To enable the driver, head to your config/database.php file and create a new entry for SingleStore in your connections, and update your default to point to that new connection:

[
    'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'singlestore'),

    'connections' => [
        'singlestore' => [
            'driver' => 'singlestore',
            'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
            'host' => env('DB_HOST'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD'),
            'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET'),
            'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
            'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'prefix_indexes' => true,
            'strict' => true,
            'engine' => null,
            'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
                PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
                PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => true,
            ]) : [],
        ],
    ]
]

The SingleStore driver is an extension of the MySQL driver, so you could also just change your driver from mysql to singlestore.

In case you want to store failed jobs in SingleStore, then make sure you also set it as the database in your config/queue.php file. At which point, you may actually prefer to set DB_CONNECTION='singlestore' in your environment variables.

'failed' => [
    'driver' => env('QUEUE_FAILED_DRIVER', 'database-uuids'),
    'database' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'singlestore'),
    'table' => 'failed_jobs',
],

PHP Versions before 8.1

In PHP versions before 8.1, the flag PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES results in a bug by which all attributes returned by MySQL (and SingleStoreDB) are returned as strings.

For example, a table with a column named user_id and a type of int(10), if the row value is 5423 we would get a string like "5423" in PHP.

This is a historic and known bug:

The best method to solve this is to upgrade to PHP 8.1 or higher. If that's not possible, Eloquent's attribute casting is the next best solution.

Migrations

This driver provides many SingleStore specific methods for creating or modifying tables. They are listed below. For more information see the Create Table docs on SingleStore.

Rowstore Tables

To create a rowstore table, use the rowstore method.

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->rowstore();

    // ...
});

Reference Tables

To create a reference table, you may use the reference method.

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->reference();

    // ...
});

Global Temporary Tables

To create a global temporary table, you may use the global method on the table.

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->rowstore();
    $table->temporary();
    $table->global();

    // ...
});

You may also use either of the following two methods:

// Fluent
$table->rowstore()->temporary()->global();

// As an argument to `temporary`.
$table->temporary($global = true);

Sparse Columns

You can mark particular columns as sparse fluently by appending sparse to the column's definition.

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->rowstore();

    $table->string('name')->nullable()->sparse();
});

Sparse Tables

You can mark particular entire tables as sparse fluently by appending sparse to the column's definition.

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->rowstore();

    $table->string('name');

    $table->sparse();
});

Shard Keys

You can add a shard key to your tables using the standalone shardKey method, or fluently by appending shardKey to the column definition.

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->string('name');

    $table->shardKey('name');
});

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->string('name')->shardKey();
});

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->string('f_name');
    $table->string('l_name');

    $table->shardKey(['f_name', 'l_name']);
});

Sort Keys

You can add a sort key to your tables using the standalone sortKey method, or fluently by appending sortKey to the column definition.

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->string('name');

    $table->sortKey('name');
});

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->string('name')->sortKey();
});

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->string('f_name');
    $table->string('l_name');

    $table->sortKey(['f_name', 'l_name']);
});

Series Timestamps

To denote a column as a series timestamp, use the seriesTimestamp column modifier.

Schema::create('table', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->datetime('created_at')->seriesTimestamp();

    // Or make it sparse
    $table->datetime('deleted_at')->nullable()->seriesTimestamp()->sparse();
});

Computed Columns

SingleStore does not support virtual computed columns. You must use Laravel's storedAs method to create a persisted computed column.

Schema::create('test', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->integer('a');
    $table->integer('b');
    $table->integer('c')->storedAs('a + b');
});

Testing

Execute the tests using PHPUnit

./vendor/bin/phpunit

To test against an active SingleStore database, create a .env file and populate the following variables:

DB_DATABASE=
DB_USERNAME=
DB_PASSWORD=
DB_HOST=

Now when executing your tests, enable the integration tests by running

HYBRID_INTEGRATION=1 ./vendor/bin/phpunit
