Connect to OceanBase Database by using SqlSugar

SqlSugar is a powerful and easy-to-use ORM framework that supports the .NET platform. This topic describes how to use SqlSugar to connect to OceanBase Database in MySQL mode.

Prerequisites

• You have installed .NET SDK 6.0 or later.
• You have installed Visual Studio or VS Code.
• You have deployed OceanBase Database and created a MySQL tenant.

Procedure

1. Create a new project.
2. Install the required NuGet packages.
3. Configure the database connection.
4. Create a data model.
5. Implement the data access layer.
6. Run the sample program.

Step 1: Create a new project

1. Run the following command in the terminal to create a new console application:

   dotnet new console -n SqlSugarOceanBaseDemo
   cd SqlSugarOceanBaseDemo
   

Step 2: Install the required NuGet packages

1. Install the SqlSugar core package and the MySQL database provider:

   # ORM core package
   dotnet add package SqlSugarCore
   
   # Database provider
   dotnet add package MySql.Data
   
   # Configuration-related packages
   dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration --version 8.0.0
   dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.FileExtensions --version 8.0.0
   dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json --version 8.0.0
   
   # Password encryption
   dotnet add package BCrypt.Net-Next --version 4.0.3
   

Step 3: Configure the database connection

1. Create an appsettings.json file and add the database connection string:

   {
     "ConnectionStrings": {
       "DefaultConnection": "Server=your_server;Port=2881;Database=your_database;Uid=your_username;Pwd=your_password;"
     }
   }
   

2. Modify the project file (.csproj) to ensure that appsettings.json is copied to the output directory:

   <ItemGroup>
     <None Update="appsettings.json">
       <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
     </None>
   </ItemGroup>
   

Step 4: Create a data model

1. Create a Models folder and add a User.cs class:

   using SqlSugar;
   
   namespace SqlSugarOceanBaseDemo.Models;
   
   [SugarTable("users")]
   public class User
   {
       [SugarColumn(IsPrimaryKey = true, IsIdentity = true)]
       public int Id { get; set; }
   
       [SugarColumn(Length = 50, IsNullable = false)]
       public string Username { get; set; }
   
       [SugarColumn(Length = 100, IsNullable = false)]
       public string Email { get; set; }
   
       [SugarColumn(Length = 255, IsNullable = false)]
       public string PasswordHash { get; set; }
   
       [SugarColumn(IsNullable = false)]
       public DateTime CreatedAt { get; set; }
   
       [SugarColumn(IsNullable = true)]
       public DateTime? UpdatedAt { get; set; }
   }
   

Step 5: Implement the data access layer

1. Create a Services folder and add a DatabaseContext.cs class:

   using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
   using SqlSugar;
   using System;
   using System.IO;
   
   namespace SqlSugarOceanBaseDemo.Services;
   
   public class DatabaseContext
   {
       public SqlSugarScope Db { get; private set; }
   
       public DatabaseContext(IConfiguration configuration)
       {
           Db = new SqlSugarScope(new ConnectionConfig()
           {
               ConnectionString = configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"),
               DbType = DbType.MySql,
               IsAutoCloseConnection = true,
               InitKeyType = InitKeyType.Attribute
           },
           db =>
           {
               db.Aop.OnLogExecuting = (sql, pars) =>
               {
                   Console.WriteLine($"SQL: {sql}");
                   if (pars != null)
                   {
                       foreach (var param in pars)
                       {
                           Console.WriteLine($"  -> {param.ParameterName}: {param.Value}");
                       }
                   }
               };
   
               db.Aop.OnError = (exp) =>
               {
                   Console.WriteLine($"Error: {exp.Message}");
                   return true;
               };
   
               db.Aop.OnLogExecuted = (sql, pars) =>
               {
                   Console.WriteLine($"Execution time: {db.Ado.SqlExecutionTime.TotalMilliseconds}ms");
               };
   
               db.InitKeyType = InitKeyType.Attribute;
           };
   
           Db.CodeFirst.InitTables(typeof(Models.User));
       }
   }
   

2. Create a Repositories folder and add a UserRepository.cs class:

   using SqlSugar;
   using SqlSugarOceanBaseDemo.Models;
   using System.Collections.Generic;
   using System.Threading.Tasks;
   
   namespace SqlSugarOceanBaseDemo.Repositories;
   
   public class UserRepository
   {
       private readonly ISqlSugarClient _db;
   
       public UserRepository(ISqlSugarClient db)
       {
           _db = db;
       }
   
       public async Task<List<User>> GetAllUsersAsync()
       {
           return await _db.Queryable<User>().ToListAsync();
       }
   
       public async Task<User> GetUserByIdAsync(int id)
       {
           return await _db.Queryable<User>().FirstAsync(u => u.Id == id);
       }
   
       public async Task<int> CreateUserAsync(User user)
       {
           user.CreatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow;
           return await _db.Insertable(user).ExecuteReturnIdentityAsync();
       }
   
       public async Task<bool> UpdateUserAsync(User user)
       {
           user.UpdatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow;
           return await _db.Updateable(user).ExecuteCommandHasChangeAsync();
       }
   
       public async Task<bool> DeleteUserAsync(int id)
       {
           return await _db.Deleteable<User>().Where(u => u.Id == id).ExecuteCommandHasChangeAsync();
       }
   }
   

Step 6: Implement the main program

Modify the Program.cs file:

using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using SqlSugarOceanBaseDemo.Models;
using SqlSugarOceanBaseDemo.Repositories;
using SqlSugarOceanBaseDemo.Services;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true)
    .Build();

var dbContext = new DatabaseContext(configuration);
var userRepository = new UserRepository(dbContext.Db);

var newUser = new User
{
    Username = "testuser",
    Email = "test@example.com",
    PasswordHash = BCrypt.Net.BCrypt.HashPassword("your_secure_password")
};

try
{
    var createdUser = await userRepository.CreateUserAsync(newUser);
    Console.WriteLine($"User created with ID: {createdUser.Id}");

    var user = await userRepository.GetUserByIdAsync(createdUser.Id);
    if (user != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Retrieved user: {user.Username}, Email: {user.Email}");

        user.Username = "updated_username";
        var updated = await userRepository.UpdateUserAsync(user);
        Console.WriteLine($"User updated: {updated}");

        var users = await userRepository.GetAllUsersAsync();
        Console.WriteLine($"Total users: {users.Count}");

        var deleted = await userRepository.DeleteUserAsync(user.Id);
        Console.WriteLine($"User deleted: {deleted}");
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"An error occurred: {ex.Message}");
}

Run the program

1. Make sure that the database connection string in the appsettings.json file is updated.

2. Run the following command in the terminal:

   dotnet run
