Overview

The SolTechnology.Core.SQL library provides minimum functionality needed for SQL db connection. It handles needed services registration and configuration and a result provides IDbConnection.

Registration

For installing the library, reference SolTechnology.Core.SQL nuget package and invoke AddSQL() service collection extension method:

services.AddSQL();

Configuration

  1. The first option is to create an appsettings.json section:
  "Configuration": {
    "Sql": {
      "ConnectionString": "Data Source=localhost,1401;Database=TaleCodeDatabase; User ID=SA;Password=password_xxddd_2137;Persist Security Info=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Trusted_Connection=False;Connect Timeout=60;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=True"
    }
  }
  1. Alternatevely the same settings can be provided by optional parameter during registration:
var sqlConfiguration = new SQLConfiguration
{
    ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhost,1401;Database=TaleCodeDatabase; User ID=SA;Password=password_xxddd_2137;Persist Security Info=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Trusted_Connection=False;Connect Timeout=60;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=True"
};
services.AddSQL(sqlConfiguration);

Usage

  1. Inject ISQLConnectionFactory
     public MatchRepository(ISQLConnectionFactory sqlConnectionFactory)
        {
            _sqlConnectionFactory = sqlConnectionFactory;
        }
  1. Create IDbConnection
  using (var connection = _sqlConnectionFactory.CreateConnection())
  1. Works well with raw SQL and Dapper ORM.

Testing

The companion package SolTechnology.Core.SQL.Testing provides SQLFixture — a Testcontainers-backed database fixture for component tests. Reference it from test projects only.

It is ORM-agnostic (it only hands back a connection string, so Dapper and EF consumers are served identically) and supports both SQL Server (default) and PostgreSQL, with pluggable schema provisioning and Respawn-based reset:

// SQL Server + dacpac (default, source-compatible with the original in-Sql fixture)
var fixture = new SQLFixture("TaleCodeDatabase")
    .WithSQLProject("../../../src/TaleCodeDatabase/TaleCodeDatabase.csproj");
await fixture.InitializeAsync();

var connectionString = fixture.DatabaseConnectionString;   // wire into "Sql:ConnectionString"

// ... run tests ...

await fixture.ResetAsync();      // between-test reset (Respawn; schema preserved)
await fixture.DisposeAsync();    // no-op when TESTCONTAINERS_REUSE=true

Engine + provisioning options (fluent, set before InitializeAsync):

Method Effect
.UsePostgres() Use PostgreSQL instead of the default SQL Server.
.WithSQLProject(path) Build + deploy a dacpac from a .sqlproj (SQL Server only).
.WithScripts(paths...) Execute raw .sql script files in order.
.WithEfMigrations(cs => ...) Run EF migrations via a delegate — the package stays EF-free; you bring your own DbContext.
.WithSchema((cs, ct) => ...) General provisioning seam (any custom logic).
.WithNetwork(network, alias) Attach the container to a shared docker network.

Notes:

  • Type name is all-caps SQLFixture and the namespace is SolTechnology.Core.SQL.Testing (per ADR-001).
  • DacFx stays in SolTechnology.Core.SQL at runtime (used by SQLProjectDeployer); only the test-only fixture moved to the companion package.
  • Container lifetime / TESTCONTAINERS_REUSE reuse is the shared model from theQuality.md → Container lifetime & reuse.
