## Generator overhaul

The rewritten compiler is faster than ever, supports more SQL features and gives you
more flexibility when writing database code.

[Check the updated documentation]({{< ref "../docs/Using SQL/moor_files.md" >}})
{{% /blocks/lead %}}

{{< blocks/section color="light" >}}
{{% blocks/feature icon="fas fa-database" title="Pure SQL API" %}}
The new `.moor` files have been updated and can now hold both `CREATE TABLE` statements
and queries you define. Moor will then generate typesafe Dart APIs based on your tables
and statements.

[Get started with SQL and moor]({{< ref "../docs/Getting started/starting_with_sql.md" >}})
{{% /blocks/feature %}}
{{% blocks/feature icon="fas fa-plus" title="Analyzer improvements" %}}
We now support more advanced features like compound select statements and window functions,
including detailed static analysis and lints. The updated type inference engine provides
better results on complex expressions. We also generate simpler methods for queries that only
return one column.
{{% /blocks/feature %}}
{{% blocks/feature icon="fas fa-code-branch" title="Dart-SQL interop" %}}
Declare tables in Dart, write your queries in SQL. Or do it the other way around. Or do it all in Dart.
Or all in SQL. Moor makes writing database code fun without taking control over your code. 
For maximum flexibilty, moor lets you inline Dart expressions into SQL and use the best of both
worlds.

## Builtin SQL IDE

Moor 2.0 expands the previous sql parser and analyzer, providing real-time feedback on your
SQL queries as you type. Moor plugs right into the Dart analysis server, so you don't have
to install any additional extensions.

Moor lets you write query code faster with helpful actions.

{{% blocks/feature icon="fas fa-exclamation-circle" title="Smart warnings" %}}
![](warning.png)

Moor analyzes statements as you write them and reports errors right away. 
This helps you identify problems fast, without having to open your app.

Moor provides an outline of your tables and queries for a better overview.

## And much, much more

Moor 2.0 contains a set of optimizations and makes common tasks simpler
{{% /blocks/lead %}}

{{< blocks/section color="light" >}}
{{% blocks/feature icon="fa-lightbulb" title="New database helpers" %}}
New utils to load database from assets or to perform additional work before creating a database.
{{% /blocks/feature %}}
{{% blocks/feature icon="fas fa-exclamation" title="Removed deprecated features" %}}
We removed a whole bunch of deprecated apis that made it harder to develop new features.

[Read the changelog for details](https://pub.dev/packages/moor#-changelog-tab-)
{{% /blocks/feature %}}
{{% blocks/feature icon="fas fa-bolt" title="Experimental `dart:ffi` bindings" %}}
The new [moor_ffi](https://pub.dev/packages/moor_ffi) package brings moor to the desktop and is up to 500x faster than the old
implementation.

_Please not that the package is still in preview_
