Framework-agnostic database abstraction layer that provides a set of classes to connect and interact with various database management systems (DBMS) using a unified API, including a powerful query builder.

Available database drivers:

- [Yii DB MSSQL](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-mssql)
- [Yii DB MySQL](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-mysql) (also supports MariaDB)
- [Yii DB Oracle](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-oracle)
- [Yii DB PostgreSQL](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-pgsql)
- [Yii DB SQLite](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-sqlite)

Optional packages that provide additional functionality:

- [Yii Active Record](https://github.com/yiisoft/active-record) provides an object-oriented interface for working with database tables, similar to ORM frameworks such as Doctrine or Hibernate.
- [Yii DB Migration](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-migration) allows you to manage database schema using migrations.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1 - 8.5.
- `pdo` PHP extension.

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

[](#installation)

To install `yiisoft/db` you must install at least one database driver:

- [`yiisoft/db-mysql`](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-mysql);
- [`yiisoft/db-pgsql`](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-pgsql);
- [`yiisoft/db-sqlite`](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-sqlite);
- [`yiisoft/db-mssql`](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-mssql);
- [`yiisoft/db-oracle`](https://github.com/yiisoft/db-oracle).

Important

It also depends on [PSR-16: Common Interface for Caching Libraries](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-16/) and requires the installation of [PSR-16 implementation](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/simple-cache-implementation). For example, [yiisoft/cache](https://github.com/yiisoft/cache) or one of the other [cache handlers](https://github.com/yiisoft/cache#cache-handlers).

General Usage
-------------

[](#general-usage)

To connect to a database, create an instance of the appropriate driver:

```
use Yiisoft\Db\Sqlite\Connection;
use Yiisoft\Db\Sqlite\Driver;

/**
 * @var Psr\SimpleCache\CacheInterface $cache
 */

// Creating a database connection
$db = new Connection(
    new Driver('sqlite:memory:'),
    new SchemaCache($cache),
);
```

You can then use the `$db` object to execute SQL queries, manage transactions, and perform other database operations. Here are some examples:

```
use Yiisoft\Db\Connection\ConnectionInterface;

/**
 * @var ConnectionInterface $db
 */

// Query builder
$rows = $db
    ->select(['id', 'email'])
    ->from('{{%user}}')
    ->where(['last_name' => 'Smith'])
    ->limit(10)
    ->all();

// Insert
$db->createCommand()
    ->insert(
        '{{%user}}',
         [
            'email' => 'mike@example.com',
            'first_name' => 'Mike',
            'last_name' => 'Smith',
         ],
    )
    ->execute();

// Transaction
$db->transaction(
    static function (ConnectionInterface $db) {
        $db->createCommand()
            ->update('{{%user}}', ['status' => 'active'], ['id' => 1])
            ->execute();
        $db->createCommand()
            ->update('{{%profile}}', ['visibility' => 'public'], ['user_id' => 1])
            ->execute();
    }
)
```
