Description
The library supports Objective-C and Swift, iOS and macOS. You can connect to your remote MySQL database using OHMySQL API. It allows you doing queries in easy and object-oriented way. Common queries such as SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, JOIN are wrapped by Objective-C code and you don’t need to dive into MySQL C API.

OHMySQL
The library supports Objective-C and Swift, iOS and macOS. You can connect to your remote MySQL database using OHMySQL API. It allows you doing queries in easy and object-oriented way. Common queries such as SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, JOIN are wrapped by Objective-C code and you don't need to dive into MySQL C API. ★★ Every star is appreciated! ★★
Goal
If you are interested in and want to know how it can be applied in your project too.
Support
I wish to support the library and extend API and functionality. If you donate me some money 💵, it keeps me motivated and happy 🙂 You may support me via PayPal or let me know any other method convenient for you.
Features
- [x] Easy to integrate and use
- [x] Many functionality features
- [x] Requires minimal knowledge in SQL
- [x] Supports iOS and macOS
- [x] Clean code with unit tests
- [x] Complete documentation and support
Requirements
- iOS 14.0+ / macOS 11.0+ (for more previous versions use 2.1.3)
- Xcode 12.0+
How To Get Started
- To test locally you can install MySQL or MAMP local server.
- Try to use OHMySQL API (set up demo project, read documentation).
- When it'll be ready then transfer your local Data Base(s) to remote MySQL server.
Installation
You can use CocoaPods. Add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'OHMySQL' --repo-update
If you are using Swift do not forget to add use_frameworks!
at the top of Podfile. Add platform, example platform :osx, '11.0'
.
Usage
Connect to the database.
let user = MySQLConfiguration(userName: "root", password: "root", serverName: "localhost", dbName: "dbname", port: 3306, socket: "/mysql/mysql.sock")
let coordinator = MySQLStoreCoordinator(user: user!)
coordinator.encoding = .UTF8MB4
coordinator.connect()
OHMySQLConfiguration *config = [[OHMySQLConfiguration alloc] initWithUserName:@"root"
password:@"root"
serverName:@"localhost"
dbName:@"dbname"
port:3306
socket:@"/mysql/mysql.sock"];
OHMySQLStoreCoordinator *coordinator = [[OHMySQLStoreCoordinator alloc] initWithUser:config];
[coordinator connect];
To end a connection:
coordinator.disconnect()
[coordinator disconnect];
Query Context
To execute a query you have to create the context:
let context = MySQLQueryContext()
context.storeCoordinator = coordinator
OHMySQLQueryContext *queryContext = [OHMySQLQueryContext new];
queryContext.storeCoordinator = coordinator;
You will use this context to execute queries or manipulate the objects.
Execute Query
let dropQueryString = "DROP TABLE `MyTable`"
let dropQueryRequest = MySQLQueryRequest(queryString: dropQueryString)
try? self.mainQueryContext.execute(dropQueryRequest)
NSString *dropQueryString = @"DROP TABLE `MyTable`";
OHMySQLQueryRequest *dropQueryRequest = [[OHMySQLQueryRequest alloc] initWithQueryString:dropQueryString];
NSError *error;
[self.mainQueryContext executeQueryRequest:dropQueryRequest error:&error];
SELECT
The response contains array of dictionaries (like JSON).
let query = MySQLQueryRequestFactory.select("tasks", condition: nil)
let response = try? MySQLContainer.shared.mainQueryContext?.executeQueryRequestAndFetchResult(query)
OHMySQLQueryRequest *query = [OHMySQLQueryRequestFactory SELECT:@"tasks" condition:nil];
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *tasks = [queryContext executeQueryRequestAndFetchResult:query error:&error];
You will get a response like this:
[{ @"id": @1, @"name": @"Task name", @"description": @"Task description", @"status": [NSNull null] }]
INSERT
let query = MySQLQueryRequestFactory.insert("tasks", set: ["name": "Something", "desctiption": "new task"])
try? mainQueryContext?.execute(query)
OHMySQLQueryRequest *query = [OHMySQLQueryRequestFactory INSERT:@"tasks" set:@{ @"name": @"Something", @"desctiption": @"new task" }];
NSError error;
[queryContext executeQueryRequest:query error:&error];
UPDATE
let query = MySQLQueryRequestFactory.update("tasks", set: ["name": "Something"], condition: "id=7")
try? mainQueryContext?.execute(query)
OHMySQLQueryRequest *query = [OHMySQLQueryRequestFactory UPDATE:@"tasks" set:@{ @"name": @"Something", @"description": @"new task update" } condition:@"id=5"];
NSError error;
[queryContext executeQueryRequest:query error:&error];
DELETE
let query = MySQLQueryRequestFactory.delete("tasks", condition: "id=10")
try? mainQueryContext?.execute(query)
OHMySQLQueryRequest *query = [OHMySQLQueryRequestFactory DELETE:@"tasks" condition:@"id=10"];
NSError error;
[queryContext executeQueryRequest:query error:&error];
JOINs
The response contains array of dictionaries (like JSON). You can do 4 types of joins (INNER, RIGHT, LEFT, FULL) using string constants.
let query = MySQLQueryRequestFactory.joinType(OHJoinInner, fromTable: "tasks", columnNames: ["id", "name", "description"], joinOn: ["subtasks": "tasks.id=subtasks.parentId"])
let result = try? mainQueryContext?.executeQueryRequestAndFetchResult(query)
OHMySQLQueryRequest *query = [OHMySQLQueryRequestFactory JOINType:OHJoinInner
fromTable:@"tasks"
columnNames:@[@"id", @"name", @"description"]
joinOn:@{ @"subtasks":@"tasks.id=subtasks.parentId" }];
NSArray *results = [queryContext executeQueryRequestAndFetchResult:query error:nil];
Object Mapping
You have to implement the protocol OHMappingProtocol for your models. Insertion looks like the following (in this example the NSManagedObject instance). The library has only a primary logic for mapping, so I would recommend you writing a mapping logic by yourself. If you are using Swift you cannot use fundamental number types (Int, Double), only NSNumber (due to run-time).
mainQueryContext?.insertObject(task)
try? mainQueryContext?.save()
[queryContext insertObject:task];
BOOL result = [queryContext save:nil];
You can update/delete the objects easily.
let task = Task()
task.name = "sample"
mainQueryContext?.updateObject(task)
mainQueryContext?.deleteObject(task)
try? mainQueryContext?.save()
// You don't need to specify primary index here. It'll be updated automatically.
OHTask *task = [OHTask new];
task.name = @"Code cleanup";
task.taskDescription = @"Delete unused classes and files";
task.status = 0;
[queryContext updateObject:task];
...
task.name = @"Something";
task.status = 1;
[task update];
...
[queryContext deleteObject:task];
BOOL result = [queryContext save:nil];
