Gabbro - Database Library
=========================

[](#gabbro---database-library)

The **Gabbro Database Library** provides a lightweight, consistent abstraction layer over SQL databases.
It is designed to expose a **common set of interfaces** (`Connection`, `Statement`, `Cursor`) that can be reused across multiple database backends, while still giving developers access to features like typed placeholders and prepared statements.

Key Concepts
------------

[](#key-concepts)

- **Connection**
    Represents an open database connection.
    Provides methods to `execute()` statements, `query()` to return results, and `prepare()` to create reusable prepared statements.
- **Statement**
    A precompiled SQL statement created via `Connection::prepare()`.
    Statements can be executed or queried to return a `Cursor`.
- **Cursor**
    Provides iteration over a result set.
    Offers row navigation (`moveTo()`, `moveToNext()`), metadata (`getCount()`, `getColumnCount()`), and column value retrieval (`getColumn()`).

Placeholders
------------

[](#placeholders)

Queries use **custom placeholders** similar to `sprintf()` but adapted for SQL:

- `%s` → string
- `%i` → integer
- `%f` → float
- `%b` → blob

The library parses placeholders, replaces them with database-specific markers (e.g. `?` for SQLite), and binds values in a safe, type-aware way.

Current Implementation
----------------------

[](#current-implementation)

- **SQLite3** backend is included (`gabbro\\database\\sqlite3\\Connection`).
    Uses in-memory or file-based SQLite databases and fully supports the interfaces.

```
use gabbro\database\sqlite3\Connection;

$db = new Connection($file);
$cursor = $db->query("SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE id > %i", 10);

while ($cursor->moveToNext()) {
    $name = $cursor->getColumn("username");
    ...
}
```

Goals
-----

[](#goals)

- Provide a unified API across different SQL backends.
- Ensure safe handling of placeholders and type conversions.
- Keep the design minimal, without hiding the underlying database’s capabilities.
