How do you define two tables that have foreign keys to each other? drizzle-kit introspect fails
Drizzle-kit now generates a schema file with type errors - it was previously working prior to 0.24.0.
In addition, the generated foreign key entry for multicolumn foreign keys has the columns in the incorrect order.

What's the recommended way to do a basic filter by a boolean column's value?
I can't figure out how to use a non-filter expression for filtering.
e.g., I would expect
db.select().from(appointment).where(appointment.canceled)
to generate the equivalent sql select * from appointment where appointment.canceled
, which works exactly how I expect. .where(() => appointment.canceled)
or .where((a) => a.canceled)
don't work either.
I can use
but surely there must be a simpler way?
I can provide this column as an argument to a filter, so why can't I use this column itself as a filter?3 replies

New string mode date handling for postgres in 0.30.0 is potentially inconsistent
When selecting a value from a column of type
timestamp with time zone
, I receive the following string format: 2024-01-19 16:54:36.74526+00
When selecting a value from a column of type date
, I receive the following string format: 1990-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
It appears the serialization changes for the postgres driver may not be working - the ones here https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/blob/main/drizzle-orm/src/postgres-js/driver.ts#L27
If I define my own custom type as:
in the postgres-js options, then suddenly I receive the raw sql values I expect: 1990-01-01

Issuing multiple sql queries in order, but without waiting for round trips?
I need to run several commands to set up transaction variables for my use case. They need to be run in order, but I don't need the result of any of them. Is there a way to issue e.g. 3 sequential commands in a single query to the database so I don't have to wait for the round trip for each one, like happens now with
await tx.execute(.....)
3 times in a row?21 replies

How do you create a scalar subquery in drizzle?
I want to create the drizzle analog of
select * from table_a where id = (select a_id from table_b where id = <....>)
This works in raw SQL, but I'm not sure how to construct the subquery to get only the a_id
field to supply in the where condition.

Is there a way to get the update count resulting from a query without returning?
I would like to assert that a statement in a transaction updates only the number of rows I expect, and fail if that number is different. I can do it with
result.length
and returning()
but that includes a ton of data I don't need.8 replies

Does calling `drizzle()` multiple times on the same db client instance consume more resources?
related to a question from: https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/issues/594
Would using the same
postgres(...)
client instance and creating multiple Drizzle instances from it, e.g. one for each request in a middleware, consume additional database connection resources compared to creating one drizzle instance for the whole server process?
@Angelelz this is related to the question you asked in the github issue. I believe my current implementation doesn't have this problem since it uses proxies, but I was about to refactor to call drizzle()
once per request and want to make sure I'm not about to blow up my database!7 replies

Is there a better way to extract Typescript types for use in function args than what I'm doing here?
It works well enough, but this seems like something which should be exposed on a library level, maybe? I need it in order to e.g. write a function which takes in a transaction and performs operations on it, such that multiple functions can be called on a single transaction and then the transaction either committed or rolled back as one unit (so the client cannot be passed in instead).

Has JSON aggregation been added yet (analogous to Kysely?)
I added some
jsonAgg...
functions to generate raw SQL to helper utilities a while back, in order to generate arrays of nested json objects in aggregation. There was discussion of adding these as first-class drizzle functions, did that ever happen?

Is there a way to explicitly type certain drizzle results as `Array<T | undefined>`?
For example, I am making a query which I know will sometimes return undefined, since I am accessing a row that may or may not be present. I'm not sure how to type this such that I have type safety through the rest of the code to ensure that I never access properties without undefined checks.
I'm aware of Typescript
noUncheckedIndexedAccess
but that will change the behavior of all arrays everywhere in my codebase, which I do not want. I just want the ability to indicate that a certain Drizzle select result will sometimes have no items returned.
e.g. const [maybeExistingEntity] = await drizzle.select(.....).limit(1)
now strongly types maybeExistingEntity
where I would like the type to be T | undefined

Is there a way to configure pg introspect to generate date rather than string inference columns?
My workflow involves writing migrations by hand outside of drizzle and using schema introspection to pull in changes. This works well except for date columns, which are always generated as
mode: 'string'
by default.16 replies

Creating join table that is simultaneously many-to-many and one-to-many
got a data modeling / sql question for you all:
I have an entity A with either a many-to-many relationship to B, or a one-to-many relationship to C. There must be a unique ordering of all relationships from A to B or C, such that we can define an ordering such as B1, B2, C1, B3, C2... etc
B and C are different entities, with wildly different table structures, and therefore cannot be combined into a single table.
I am solving this with:
A, B, and C all have
id
primary key fields.
I create a table a_joins
as:
This allows me to ensure an ordering for all a_id
entries, such that each entry in the ordering points to either a b
(shared by many a) or a c
(for this a only).
The problem I have is that I want cascade delete behavior, such that on deletion of a
, the a_joins
entries are deleted (which works due to cascade), and any c
associated with a
is deleted as well.
How would you recommend I accomplish this? I attempted to add a foreign key relationship to c
to perform the cascade:
This should ensure both that a c
entry only ever points to the single unique a_joins
entry that references it, and that the c
entry is deleted when the corresponding a_joins
entry is removed. However, this fails due to the lack of a unique index on a_joins (c_id, id)
, even though both of those columns are individually marked as either unique or primary key. How is this possible?32 replies

How to include array literals in raw sql?
I have an input array used for an order by using the array_position function - rather than passing the array as a single param, the call to:
generates a param list for each item in the input array. This generates a record rather than an array literal in Postgres.
Trying raw sql with:
doesn't work either.

Drizzle join in a subquery results in ambiguous columns

reference in the field selection of the second query generates the sql as 'id'
rather than 'survey_question'.'id'
as it should.

Is there a way to have a query- or transaction-level hook?
I want to:
- for every transaction, before statements are run, issue a query against the database to set settings
- for every query, if not in a transaction, open a transaction and set the setting, run the query, then close the transaction
Is there any recommended way to do this with drizzle?
