| description | Frappe-native SQL and ORM guidance for `frappe.db`, Query Builder, `tab{DocType}` tables, permission-sensitive queries, and raw SQL review. Use when writing or reviewing database access in Frappe. |
Treat SQL and ORM decisions as first-class Frappe architecture choices.
Cover:
frappe.db.get_list
frappe.db.get_all
frappe.db.get_value
frappe.db.exists
frappe.qb
frappe.db.sql
- transaction boundaries
- permission implications
Rules:
- prefer Frappe-native APIs when they express the query clearly
- treat
get_all and raw SQL as deliberate choices
- use correct
tab{DocType} table naming when raw SQL is necessary
- flag brittle or permission-blind SQL
- distinguish reporting SQL from transactional logic
When reviewing code, explicitly state:
- why the chosen access layer is or is not appropriate
- whether permissions are respected or bypassed
- whether the query belongs in a report, service, patch, or controller
