Accessing SQL Server From Scala

Sidharth Khattri shows how to use Scala Slick, a library designed to integrate with database, to connect to SQL Server:

Now moving onto our FRM (Functional Relational Mapping) and repository setup, the following import will be used for MS SQL Server Slick driver’s API

import slick.jdbc.SQLServerProfile.api._

And thereafter the FRM will look same as the rest of the FRM’s delineated on the official Slick documentation. For the example on this blog let’s use the following table structure

CREATE TABLE user_profiles ( id INT IDENTITY (1, 1) PRIMARY KEY, first_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, last_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
)

whose functional relational mapping will look like this:

class UserProfiles(tag: Tag) extends Table[UserProfile](tag, "user_profiles") { def id: Rep[Int] = column[Int]("id", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc) def firstName: Rep[String] = column[String]("first_name") def lastName: Rep[String] = column[String]("last_name") def * : ProvenShape[UserProfile] = (id, firstName, lastName) <>(UserProfile.tupled, UserProfile.unapply) // scalastyle:ignore
}

I’m definitely going to need to learn more about this.
