我无法制作一个简单的Scala Play数据库工作示例

Question

Firstly, I've never worked with a database in Scala Play Framework. I did a research and found that the only way(?) to work with it is using a plain SQL. Is that so? I wonder, isn't there a way to do that the same way I can do that in RoR using models? At least, I found a plenty of examples showing, even encouraging working with plain SQL.

Secondly, I can't compile the code from the official documentation:

import play.api.db._
import play.api.Play.current
val result:Boolean = SQL("Select 1").execute()    //SQL is not found

Also, where is SQL located?

Answer 1

Importing anorm._ should fix the issue.

SQL is located in the package object anorm

Btw, SQL does not work without the sql connection, so wrap it like this:

DB.withConnection { implicit c =>
  SQL("select 1").execute()
}

Answer 2

Have you added the sql dependency to your project as described in the docs?
