Working with Databases in Rust

In this module, you'll learn how to work with relational databases in Rust using the SQLx library with PostgreSQL. For you as a .NET developer, this is comparable to using Entity Framework or Dapper, but with Rust's type safety and performance advantages. You'll also learn about error handling patterns in Rust.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this module, you will:

• Understand what SQLx is and how it provides type-safe database access
• Configure and connect to a PostgreSQL database
• Write and execute type-safe SQL queries in Rust
• Implement proper error handling for database operations
• Create database migrations using the SQLx CLI
