This PR adds a new
.stream_eachmethod to SimpleQuery’s Builder, providing row-by-row retrieval for large datasets in bothPostgreSQL(via cursors) andMySQL(via themysql2gem’s streaming mode). This prevents loading entire result sets into memory at once, offering significant memory and performance benefits for multi-million-row queries.Key Changes
PostgresStream&MysqlStreamModules – Separated logic into dedicated modules:stream_each_postgres(batch_size, &block)usesDECLARE ... CURSORandFETCH... in a transaction.stream_each_mysql(&block)usesraw_conn.query(sql, stream: true, cache_rows: false, as: :hash)from mysql2.Builder Integration –
.stream_each(batch_size: 1000, &block)dispatches to eitherPostgresorMySQLmethod based on the adapter, raising an error if neither.Tests – Unit tests for each module (PostgresStream, MysqlStream) plus an integration test verifying
Builder#stream_each.Performance Gains
Our benchmarks show
.stream_eachcan use~30-50%less memory than AR’sfind_each, with2-3×faster iteration on large datasets.Usage Example:
This yields each row individually, preventing large memory spikes.
