latitude

Latitude is a library for dynamic runtime DDL based on sqlx and barrel. NOTE: This project is in early development along with sqlx. Please use at your own risk and strongly consider using a better tested and polished project such as Refinery. There will definitely be API changes in the near future.

Originally this was intended to to be a migration toolkit, but, it has been slimmed down. It's unclear if we will still pursue a migration oriented API. Adding migration capability would be a feature addition as opposed to a rewrite.

With the migration changes this library could be considered amore portable but less accessible alternative to sqlx-cli: users require less concern over understanding and maintaining multiple SQL dialects, but, must have familiarity with Rust to get up and running. It may be a good fit if your application is already written in Rust and either:

  • you want migration compatibility across multiple databases (e.g. if you are using MySQL in production and SQLite for development); or

  • you just like writing in the DSL over plain SQL

Please raise an issue on GitHub if you have suggestions, feedback, bug reports, or otherwise.
