Project Glaucus

Glaucus is an open source ASP.NET Core ORM, it allows programs written in C#, Visual Basic, F# to access several database servers, using their native Data Providers.

An ORM is an Object Relational Mapper, which is responsible for mapping between database and programming language.

Currently supports MSSQL, SQLite and MySQL official connectors and is very effective and powerful, yet simple to implement.

Database Engines

Glaucus currently supports the following databases (and more to come)

• MS SQL,
• SQLite,
• MySQL

Installation

Glaucus is installed through NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Netsoft.Glaucus/

and the specific connectors can be installed through:

• https://www.nuget.org/packages/Netsoft.Glaucus.SQLServer/
• https://www.nuget.org/packages/Netsoft.Glaucus.SQLite/
• https://www.nuget.org/packages/Netsoft.Glaucus.MySQL/

PM> Install-Package Glaucus

Quick Start

• More samples coming soon, please stay tune

The easiest way to start is using the vanilla queries and returning a DataTable
This sample will return a table with two fields:

var connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0].ConnectionString;
var provider = new MSSqlProvider(connectionString);
using (var engine = new DbEngine(provider))
{
    var data = engine.Select("TableName", new[] { "field1", "field2" });
    var datatable = data.ToDataTable();
}

Instead of using a DataTable (or DataSet) you may prefer to map your database to entity models, first create your model:

public class DummyItem
{
    public string Field1 { get; set; }
    public string Field2 { get; set; }
}

using (var engine = new DbEngine(provider))
{
    var data = engine.Select("TableName", new[] { "field1", "field2" });
    var collection = data.ToList<DummyItem>();
}

• More samples coming soon, please stay tune
