TL;DR

GORM, a popular ORM for Go can easily query SQL views, but managing them has traditionally been an issue. With the latest release of Atlas GORM Provider, you can now easily manage views for your GORM application.

Introduction​

Making liberal use of views is a key aspect of good SQL database design.

— Postgres documentation

Views are a powerful database feature: they are virtual table representing the result of a query. Many teams use them to simplify complex queries, encapsulate logic, and present a consistent interface to users, abstracting the underlying data structures.

Building Atlas

It's been just over two months since our last version announcement and today I'm super excited to share with you our latest release, v0.13, which includes some long-anticipated additions to Atlas:

  • Atlas and Atlas Community Editions - we are making a change in the way Atlas is distributed. Starting today, we are making many of the features previously available only in the commercial version of Atlas available to everyone for free. More on this below.

  • Support for SQL Views - SQL Views are virtual tables in a database created by a query and stored in the database. Starting today, you can manage views in your database using the same Atlas workflows you use for tables, indexes, foreign keys, etc.

  • Microsoft SQL Server Driver Beta - Over the last few months, we have been working on a driver for MS-SQL with some of our enterprise design partners and are happy to make it available to you as a beta.

  • Built-in schema visualization - Over the past year we released some tools to help developers visualize their database schemas using Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs). Starting today, you can use the atlas schema inspect --visualize command to create database ERDs directly from the command line.

  • GitHub Action for Deployments - We recently received a request from the community to add a GitHub Action to streamline applying migrations directly from GitHub workflows. We thought this was a great idea and are happy to introduce ariga/atlas-deploy-action which you can use to deploy your migrations today.

  • Type checking for schema files - As part of our continuous effort to make the experience of working with Atlas as smooth as possible, we are excited to ship a new engine for running type checks on your schema files.

This release is extra-packed with new features and improvements, so let's dive in!
