===============

[](#semperton-query)

A small and standalone SQL query builder.

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Just use Composer:

```
composer require semperton/query

```

Query requires PHP 7.2+

Intro
-----

[](#intro)

This is a SQL query builder only. All Instances of `ExpressionInterface` provide a `compile` method which takes a parameter array by reference and returns a parameter substituted SQL string that can be used with `PDO` for example.

```
$queryFactory = new QueryFactory();
$userSelect = $factory->select('user')->limit(5);

$sql = $userSelect->compile($params); // $params is passed by reference

$pdo = new PDO('dsn');
$stm = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stm->execute($params);
$users = $stm->fetchAll();

// ...
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use your editor's autocomplete features for now ;)
