Beancount.Repo (beancount_ex v0.6.0)

Copy Markdown View Source

Ecto repository backing Beancount.Storage and Beancount.Queries.

Beancount.Repo is a standard Ecto.Repo using the SQLite adapter (Ecto.Adapters.SQLite3). It is started under the application supervisor and auto-migrated on boot so tables are always ready — including for the default in-memory database, which is recreated on every process start.

Most callers should use the higher-level APIs instead of touching the repo directly:

Use Beancount.Repo directly when you need custom Ecto.Query access beyond what Beancount.Queries provides.

Configuration

Default: SQLite in-memory (:memory:). No file is created; data lives for the duration of the OS process and is cleared on restart. Keep pool_size: 1 with :memory: — each pooled connection gets its own empty database, so raising pool_size silently breaks Storage/Queries.

config :beancount_ex, Beancount.Repo,
  database: ":memory:",
  pool_size: 1

For a persistent ledger, point :database at a file path:

config :beancount_ex, Beancount.Repo, database: "path/to/ledger.db"

Add Beancount.Repo to ecto_repos in your config (already set in the default config/config.exs):

config :beancount_ex, ecto_repos: [Beancount.Repo]

Schema and tables

One table per directive type. Each row stores the directive fields plus a file_order integer (zero-based source position). See Beancount.Schemas for the full schema-to-directive map.

beancount_closesBeancount.Schemas.Close

The migration lives in priv/repo/migrations/20260702000001_create_directives.exs.

Startup and migrations

On application start, Ecto.Migrator.run/3 applies all pending migrations. This is required for :memory: databases because the schema is lost when the process exits.

Example: store via Storage, query via Repo

import Ecto.Query
alias Beancount.{Repo, Schemas}

Beancount.Storage.store([
  Beancount.open(~D[2026-01-01], "Assets:Bank", ["USD"])
])

Repo.all(from o in Schemas.Open, where: o.account == "Assets:Bank")
# => [%Beancount.Schemas.Open{account: "Assets:Bank", ...}]

Example: custom aggregation

import Ecto.Query
alias Beancount.{Repo, Schemas}

Repo.aggregate(
  from(t in Schemas.Transaction, where: t.date >= ^~D[2026-01-01]),
  :count
)
# => 42

Inherited functions

This module uses Ecto.Repo, so all standard callbacks are available: all/2, get/3, insert/2, update/2, delete/2, transaction/2, aggregate/3, and others. See the Ecto.Repo documentation.

disconnect_all(interval, opts \\ [])

@spec disconnect_all(non_neg_integer(), opts :: Keyword.t()) :: :ok

Forces all connections in the repo pool to disconnect within the given interval.

Once this function is called, the pool will disconnect all of its connections as they are checked in or as they are pinged. Checked in and idle connections will be randomly disconnected within the given time interval.

If the connection has a backoff configured (which is the case by default), disconnecting means an attempt at a new connection will be done immediately after, without starting a new process for each connection. However, if backoff has been disabled, the connection process will terminate. In such cases, disconnecting all connections may cause the pool supervisor to restart depending on the max_restarts/max_seconds configuration of the pool, so you will want to set those carefully.

If you need connections to be restarted periodically, set the :max_lifetime option in your repository configuration instead.

exists?(queryable, opts \\ [])

Callback implementation for Ecto.Repo.exists?/2.

explain(operation, queryable, opts \\ [])

@spec explain(
  :all | :update_all | :delete_all,
  Ecto.Queryable.t(),
  opts :: Keyword.t()
) ::
  String.t() | Exception.t() | [map()]

Executes an EXPLAIN statement or similar for the given query according to its kind and the adapter in the given repository.

Examples

# Postgres
iex> MyRepo.explain(:all, Post)
"Seq Scan on posts p0  (cost=0.00..12.12 rows=1 width=443)"

iex> Ecto.Adapters.SQL.explain(Repo, :all, Post)
"Seq Scan on posts p0  (cost=0.00..12.12 rows=1 width=443)"

# MySQL
iex> MyRepo.explain(:all, from(p in Post, where: p.title == "title")) |> IO.puts()
+----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key  | key_len | ref  | rows | filtered | Extra       |
+----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | p0    | NULL       | ALL  | NULL          | NULL | NULL    | NULL |    1 |    100.0 | Using where |
+----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+

# Shared opts
iex> MyRepo.explain(:all, Post, analyze: true, timeout: 20_000)
"Seq Scan on posts p0  (cost=0.00..11.70 rows=170 width=443) (actual time=0.013..0.013 rows=0 loops=1)\nPlanning Time: 0.031 ms\nExecution Time: 0.021 ms"

It's safe to execute it for updates and deletes, no data change will be committed:

iex> MyRepo.explain(Repo, :update_all, from(p in Post, update: [set: [title: "new title"]]))
"Update on posts p0  (cost=0.00..11.70 rows=170 width=449)\n  ->  Seq Scan on posts p0  (cost=0.00..11.70 rows=170 width=449)"

This function is also available under the repository with name explain:

iex> MyRepo.explain(:all, from(p in Post, where: p.title == "title"))
"Seq Scan on posts p0  (cost=0.00..12.12 rows=1 width=443)\n  Filter: ((title)::text = 'title'::text)"

Options

Built-in adapters support passing opts to the EXPLAIN statement according to the following:

AdapterSupported opts
Postgrexanalyze, verbose, costs, settings, buffers, timing, summary, format, plan, wrap_in_transaction
MyXQLformat, wrap_in_transaction

All options except format are boolean valued and default to false.

The allowed format values are :map, :yaml, and :text:

  • :map is the deserialized JSON encoding.
  • :yaml and :text return the result as a string.

The built-in adapters support the following formats:

  • Postgrex: :map, :yaml and :text
  • MyXQL: :map and :text

The wrap_in_transaction option is a boolean that controls whether the command is run inside of a transaction that is rolled back. This is useful when, for example, you'd like to use analyze: true on an update or delete query without modifying data. Defaults to true.

The :plan option in Postgrex can take the values :custom or :fallback_generic. When :custom is specified, the explain plan generated will consider the specific values of the query parameters that are supplied. When using :fallback_generic, the specific values of the query parameters will be ignored. :fallback_generic does not use PostgreSQL's built-in support for a generic explain plan (available as of PostgreSQL 16), but instead uses a special implementation that works for PostgreSQL versions 12 and above. Defaults to :custom.

Any other value passed to opts will be forwarded to the underlying adapter query function, including shared Repo options such as :timeout. Non built-in adapters may have specific behaviour and you should consult their documentation for more details.

query(sql, params \\ [], opts \\ [])

Runs a custom SQL query.

If the query was successful, it will return an :ok tuple containing a map with at least two keys:

  • :num_rows - the number of rows affected
  • :rows - the result set as a list. nil may be returned instead of the list if the command does not yield any row as result (but still yields the number of affected rows, like a delete command without returning would)

Options

  • :log - When false, does not log the query
  • :timeout - Execute request timeout, accepts: :infinity (default: 15000);

Examples

iex> MyRepo.query("SELECT $1::integer + $2", [40, 2])
{:ok, %{rows: [[42]], num_rows: 1}}

iex> Ecto.Adapters.SQL.query(MyRepo, "SELECT $1::integer + $2", [40, 2])
{:ok, %{rows: [[42]], num_rows: 1}}

query!(sql, params \\ [], opts \\ [])

Same as query/3 but returns result directly without :ok tuple and raises on invalid queries

query_many(sql, params \\ [], opts \\ [])

@spec query_many(iodata(), Ecto.Adapters.SQL.query_params(), Keyword.t()) ::
  {:ok, [Ecto.Adapters.SQL.query_result()]} | {:error, Exception.t()}

Runs a custom SQL query that returns multiple results on the given repo.

In case of success, it must return an :ok tuple containing a list of maps with at least two keys:

  • :num_rows - the number of rows affected

  • :rows - the result set as a list. nil may be returned instead of the list if the command does not yield any row as result (but still yields the number of affected rows, like a delete command without returning would)

Options

  • :log - When false, does not log the query
  • :timeout - Execute request timeout, accepts: :infinity (default: 15000);

Examples

iex> MyRepo.query_many("SELECT $1; SELECT $2;", [40, 2])
{:ok, [%{rows: [[40]], num_rows: 1}, %{rows: [[2]], num_rows: 1}]}

iex> Ecto.Adapters.SQL.query_many(MyRepo, "SELECT $1; SELECT $2;", [40, 2])
{:ok, [%{rows: [[40]], num_rows: 1}, %{rows: [[2]], num_rows: 1}]}
