Bun

Bun

Lightweight Golang ORM for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, and SQLite

Get Started Introduction

SQL-first

Bun's goal is to help you write SQL, not to hide it behind awkward constructs.

*sql.DB compatible

Bun uses database/sql and extends it in a compatible and idiomatic way.

Database-agnostic

Out-of-the box works with PostgreSQL, MySQL 5.7+, MSSQL, and SQLite.

Migrations

Keep your database schema updated with Go and SQL-based migrations.

Fixtures

Provide initial data for your application with YAML fixtures.

Starter kit

Modern app skeleton puts everything together and helps you get started.

Why another Golang ORM?

So you can elegantly write complex queries:

regionalSales := db.NewSelect().
	ColumnExpr("region").
	ColumnExpr("SUM(amount) AS total_sales").
	TableExpr("orders").
	GroupExpr("region")

topRegions := db.NewSelect().
	ColumnExpr("region").
	TableExpr("regional_sales").
	Where("total_sales > (SELECT SUM(total_sales) / 10 FROM regional_sales)")

err := db.NewSelect().
	With("regional_sales", regionalSales).
	With("top_regions", topRegions).
	ColumnExpr("region").
	ColumnExpr("product").
	ColumnExpr("SUM(quantity) AS product_units").
	ColumnExpr("SUM(amount) AS product_sales").
	TableExpr("orders").
	Where("region IN (SELECT region FROM top_regions)").
	GroupExpr("region").
	GroupExpr("product").
	Scan(ctx)
WITH regional_sales AS (
    SELECT region, SUM(amount) AS total_sales
    FROM orders
    GROUP BY region
), top_regions AS (
    SELECT region
    FROM regional_sales
    WHERE total_sales > (SELECT SUM(total_sales)/10 FROM regional_sales)
)
SELECT region,
       product,
       SUM(quantity) AS product_units,
       SUM(amount) AS product_sales
FROM orders
WHERE region IN (SELECT region FROM top_regions)
GROUP BY region, product
