== Ecto Database Integration == [[File:Ecto.jpg|thumb|right|Logo of Ecto]] '''Ecto Database Integration''' is an essential and powerful feature of the [[Elixir (programming language)|Elixir]] programming language. Ecto is a database wrapper and query generator that allows developers to interact with databases in a clean and efficient way. === Overview === Ecto provides a set of modules and functions that simplify the process of working with databases. It supports multiple database systems, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite, among others. With Ecto, developers can easily perform common database operations like querying, inserting, updating, and deleting data, as well as more complex tasks like creating and modifying database schemas. === Features === Ecto offers a rich set of features that make it a popular choice among Elixir developers. Some of its key features include: ==== Query Composition ==== Ecto allows developers to build complex and performant database queries using a fluid and composable syntax. Queries can be chained together, allowing for easy composition of complex search filters, eager loading of associations, and sorting of results. ==== Schema Definitions ==== With Ecto, developers can define database schemas using a simple and intuitive syntax. Schemas define the structure of database tables and mappings to Elixir structs, making it easy to retrieve and manipulate data. ==== Changeset Validation ==== Ecto provides a powerful validation mechanism called changesets. Changesets allow developers to define constraints and validations on data before it is inserted or updated in the database. This helps ensure data integrity and consistency. ==== Transaction Handling ==== Ecto supports transaction handling, allowing developers to group multiple database operations into a single atomic transaction. This ensures that either all operations are committed or none of them are, providing data consistency and reliability. === Getting Started === To start using Ecto, developers need to add it as a dependency to their Elixir project. Once added, they can define database connections, schemas, and perform various database operations using Ecto's API. For detailed information and examples on how to integrate Ecto into your Elixir projects, please refer to the following articles on this wiki: * [[Ecto/Installation|Installation]] * [[Ecto/Getting_Started|Getting Started]] * [[Ecto/Querying|Querying Data]] * [[Ecto/Associations|Working with Associations]] * [[Ecto/Changesets|Working with Changesets]] * [[Ecto/Transactions|Transactions]] === Conclusion === Ecto Database Integration is a powerful and versatile tool for working with databases in Elixir projects. Its rich feature set and intuitive syntax make it a popular choice among developers. Whether you are building a small application or a large-scale system, Ecto provides the flexibility and performance needed to handle your data storage needs.
