Working with STRUCT objects

PostgreSQL interface note: The STRUCT data type is not supported in the PostgreSQL interface for Spanner.

Spanner allows you to create STRUCT objects from data, as well as to use STRUCT objects as bound parameters when running a SQL query with one of the Spanner client libraries.

For more information about the STRUCT type in Spanner, see Data types.

Declaring a user-defined type of STRUCT object

You can declare a STRUCT object in queries using the syntax described in Declaring a STRUCT type.

You can define a type of STRUCT object as a sequence of field names and their data types. You can then supply this type along with queries containing STRUCT-typed parameter bindings and Spanner will use it to check that the STRUCT parameter values in your query are valid.

C++

// Cloud Spanner STRUCT<> types are represented by std::tuple<...>. The
// following represents a STRUCT<> with two unnamed STRING fields.
using NameType = std::tuple<std::string, std::string>;

C#

var nameType = new SpannerStruct
{
    { "FirstName", SpannerDbType.String, null},
    { "LastName", SpannerDbType.String, null}
};

Go

type nameType struct {
	FirstName string
	LastName  string
}

Java

Type nameType =
    Type.struct(
        Arrays.asList(
            StructField.of("FirstName", Type.string()),
            StructField.of("LastName", Type.string())));

Node.js

const nameType = {
  type: 'struct',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'FirstName',
      type: 'string',
    },
    {
      name: 'LastName',
      type: 'string',
    },
  ],
};

PHP

$nameType = new ArrayType(
    (new StructType)
        ->add('FirstName', Database::TYPE_STRING)
        ->add('LastName', Database::TYPE_STRING)
);

Python

name_type = param_types.Struct(
    [
        param_types.StructField("FirstName", param_types.STRING),
        param_types.StructField("LastName", param_types.STRING),
    ]
)

Ruby

name_type = client.fields FirstName: :STRING, LastName: :STRING

Creating STRUCT objects

The following sample shows how to create STRUCT objects using the Spanner client libraries.

C++

// Cloud Spanner STRUCT<> types are represented by std::tuple<...>. The
// following represents a STRUCT<> with two unnamed STRING fields.
using NameType = std::tuple<std::string, std::string>;
auto singer_info = NameType{"Elena", "Campbell"};

C#

var nameStruct = new SpannerStruct
{
    { "FirstName", SpannerDbType.String, "Elena" },
    { "LastName", SpannerDbType.String, "Campbell" },
};

Go

type name struct {
	FirstName string
	LastName  string
}
var singerInfo = name{"Elena", "Campbell"}

Java

Struct name =
    Struct.newBuilder().set("FirstName").to("Elena").set("LastName").to("Campbell").build();

Node.js

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {Spanner} = require('@google-cloud/spanner');

const nameStruct = Spanner.struct({
  FirstName: 'Elena',
  LastName: 'Campbell',
});

PHP

$nameValue = (new StructValue)
    ->add('FirstName', 'Elena')
    ->add('LastName', 'Campbell');
$nameType = (new StructType)
    ->add('FirstName', Database::TYPE_STRING)
    ->add('LastName', Database::TYPE_STRING);

Python

record_type = param_types.Struct(
    [
        param_types.StructField("FirstName", param_types.STRING),
        param_types.StructField("LastName", param_types.STRING),
    ]
)
record_value = ("Elena", "Campbell")

Ruby

name_struct = { FirstName: "Elena", LastName: "Campbell" }

You can also use the client libraries to create an array of STRUCT objects, as seen in the following sample:

C++

// Cloud Spanner STRUCT<> types with named fields are represented by
// std::tuple<std::pair<std::string, T>...>, create an alias to make it easier
// to follow this code.
using SingerName = std::tuple<std::pair<std::string, std::string>,
                              std::pair<std::string, std::string>>;
auto make_name = [](std::string first_name, std::string last_name) {
  return std::make_tuple(std::make_pair("FirstName", std::move(first_name)),
                         std::make_pair("LastName", std::move(last_name)));
};
std::vector<SingerName> singer_info{
    make_name("Elena", "Campbell"),
    make_name("Gabriel", "Wright"),
    make_name("Benjamin", "Martinez"),
};

C#

var bandMembers = new List<SpannerStruct>
{
    new SpannerStruct { { "FirstName", SpannerDbType.String, "Elena" }, { "LastName", SpannerDbType.String, "Campbell" } },
    new SpannerStruct { { "FirstName", SpannerDbType.String, "Gabriel" }, { "LastName", SpannerDbType.String, "Wright" } },
    new SpannerStruct { { "FirstName", SpannerDbType.String, "Benjamin" }, { "LastName", SpannerDbType.String, "Martinez" } },
};

Go

var bandMembers = []nameType{
	{"Elena", "Campbell"},
	{"Gabriel", "Wright"},
	{"Benjamin", "Martinez"},
}

Java

List<Struct> bandMembers = new ArrayList<>();
bandMembers.add(
    Struct.newBuilder().set("FirstName").to("Elena").set("LastName").to("Campbell").build());
bandMembers.add(
    Struct.newBuilder().set("FirstName").to("Gabriel").set("LastName").to("Wright").build());
bandMembers.add(
    Struct.newBuilder().set("FirstName").to("Benjamin").set("LastName").to("Martinez").build());

Node.js

const bandMembersType = {
  type: 'array',
  child: nameType,
};

const bandMembers = [
  Spanner.struct({
    FirstName: 'Elena',
    LastName: 'Campbell',
  }),
  Spanner.struct({
    FirstName: 'Gabriel',
    LastName: 'Wright',
  }),
  Spanner.struct({
    FirstName: 'Benjamin',
    LastName: 'Martinez',
  }),
];

PHP

$bandMembers = [
    (new StructValue)
        ->add('FirstName', 'Elena')
        ->add('LastName', 'Campbell'),
    (new StructValue)
        ->add('FirstName', 'Gabriel')
        ->add('LastName', 'Wright'),
    (new StructValue)
        ->add('FirstName', 'Benjamin')
        ->add('LastName', 'Martinez')
];

Python

band_members = [
    ("Elena", "Campbell"),
    ("Gabriel", "Wright"),
    ("Benjamin", "Martinez"),
]

Ruby

band_members = [name_type.struct(["Elena", "Campbell"]),
                name_type.struct(["Gabriel", "Wright"]),
                name_type.struct(["Benjamin", "Martinez"])]

Returning STRUCT objects in SQL query results

A Spanner SQL query can return an array of STRUCT objects as a column for certain queries. For more information, see Using STRUCTS with SELECT.

Using STRUCT objects as bound parameters in SQL queries

You can use STRUCT objects as bound parameters in a SQL query. For more information about parameters, see Query parameters.

Querying data with a STRUCT object

The following sample shows how to bind values in a STRUCT object to parameters in a SQL query statement, execute the query, and output the results.

C++

void QueryDataWithStruct(google::cloud::spanner::Client client) {
  namespace spanner = ::google::cloud::spanner;
  // Cloud Spanner STRUCT<> types are represented by std::tuple<...>. The
  // following represents a STRUCT<> with two unnamed STRING fields.
  using NameType = std::tuple<std::string, std::string>;
  auto singer_info = NameType{"Elena", "Campbell"};
  auto rows = client.ExecuteQuery(spanner::SqlStatement(
      "SELECT SingerId FROM Singers WHERE (FirstName, LastName) = @name",
      {{"name", spanner::Value(singer_info)}}));

  for (auto& row : spanner::StreamOf<std::tuple<std::int64_t>>(rows)) {
    if (!row) throw std::move(row).status();
    std::cout << "SingerId: " << std::get<0>(*row) << "\n";
  }
  std::cout << "Query completed for [spanner_query_data_with_struct]\n";

Querying data with an array of STRUCT objects

The following sample shows how to execute a query that uses an array of STRUCT objects. Use the UNNEST operator to flatten an array of STRUCT objects into rows:

C++

void QueryDataWithArrayOfStruct(google::cloud::spanner::Client client) {

      make_name("Elena", "Campbell"),
      make_name("Gabriel", "Wright"),
      make_name("Benjamin", "Martinez"),
  };

  auto rows = client.ExecuteQuery(spanner::SqlStatement(
      "SELECT SingerId FROM Singers"
      " WHERE STRUCT<FirstName STRING, LastName STRING>(FirstName, LastName)"
      "    IN UNNEST(@names)",
      {{"names", spanner::Value(singer_info)}}));

  for (auto& row : spanner::StreamOf<std::tuple<std::int64_t>>(rows)) {

Modifying data with DML

The following code example uses a STRUCT with bound parameters and Data Manipulation Language (DML) to update a single value in rows that match the WHERE clause condition. For rows where the FirstName is Timothy and the LastName is Campbell, the LastName is updated to Grant.

C++

void DmlStructs(google::cloud::spanner::Client client) {
  namespace spanner = ::google::cloud::spanner;
  std::int64_t rows_modified = 0;
  auto commit_result =
      client.Commit([&client, &rows_modified](spanner::Transaction const& txn)
                        -> google::cloud::StatusOr<spanner::Mutations> {
        auto singer_info = std::make_tuple("Marc", "Richards");
        auto sql = spanner::SqlStatement(
            "UPDATE Singers SET FirstName = 'Keith' WHERE "
            "STRUCT<FirstName String, LastName String>(FirstName, LastName) "
            "= @name",
            {{"name", spanner::Value(std::move(singer_info))}});
        auto dml_result = client.ExecuteDml(txn, std::move(sql));
        if (!dml_result) return std::move(dml_result).status();
        rows_modified = dml_result->RowsModified();
        return spanner::Mutations{};
      });
  if (!commit_result) throw std::move(commit_result).status();
  std::cout << rows_modified

Accessing STRUCT field values

You can access fields inside a STRUCT object by name.

C++

void FieldAccessOnStructParameters(google::cloud::spanner::Client client) {
  namespace spanner = ::google::cloud::spanner;

  // Cloud Spanner STRUCT<> with named fields is represented as
  // tuple<pair<string, T>...>. Create a type alias for this example:
  using SingerName = std::tuple<std::pair<std::string, std::string>,
                                std::pair<std::string, std::string>>;
  SingerName name({"FirstName", "Elena"}, {"LastName", "Campbell"});

  auto rows = client.ExecuteQuery(spanner::SqlStatement(
      "SELECT SingerId FROM Singers WHERE FirstName = @name.FirstName",
      {{"name", spanner::Value(name)}}));

  for (auto& row : spanner::StreamOf<std::tuple<std::int64_t>>(rows)) {
    if (!row) throw std::move(row).status();
    std::cout << "SingerId: " << std::get<0>(*row) << "\n";
  }
  std::cout << "Query completed for"
            << " [spanner_field_access_on_struct_parameters]\n";
