# Room Database
SQLite persistence via Room (KMP-ready since 2.7.0) for Compose Multiplatform and Android projects.
References:
- [Save data in a local database using Room](https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/room)

- [SQLite performance best practices](https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/sqlite-performance-best-practices)
## Setup
> **Always search online for the latest stable versions** of `androidx.room`, `androidx.sqlite`, and `com.google.devtools.ksp` before adding dependencies.
### Dependencies (version catalog)
```toml
[versions]
room = "<latest>" # search: "androidx.room latest version"
sqlite = "<latest>" # search: "androidx.sqlite latest version"
ksp = "<latest>" # must match your Kotlin version
[libraries]
androidx-room-runtime = { module = "androidx.room:room-runtime", version.ref = "room" }
androidx-room-compiler = { module = "androidx.room:room-compiler", version.ref = "room" }
androidx-sqlite-bundled = { module = "androidx.sqlite:sqlite-bundled", version.ref = "sqlite" }
[plugins]
ksp = { id = "com.google.devtools.ksp", version.ref = "ksp" }
androidx-room = { id = "androidx.room", version.ref = "room" }
```
### KMP Gradle
```kotlin
plugins {
alias(libs.plugins.ksp)
alias(libs.plugins.androidx.room)
}
kotlin {
sourceSets.commonMain.dependencies {
implementation(libs.androidx.room.runtime)
implementation(libs.androidx.sqlite.bundled)
}
}
dependencies {
add("kspAndroid", libs.androidx.room.compiler)
add("kspIosArm64", libs.androidx.room.compiler)
// ... add for every target
}
room { schemaDirectory("$projectDir/schemas") }
```
**Android-only:** use `ksp(libs.androidx.room.compiler)` directly.
### Database definition
```kotlin
@Database(entities = [ProjectEntity::class, TaskEntity::class], version = 1)
@ConstructedBy(AppDatabaseConstructor::class)
abstract class AppDatabase : RoomDatabase() {
abstract fun projectDao(): ProjectDao
abstract fun taskDao(): TaskDao
}
@Suppress("KotlinNoActualForExpect")
expect object AppDatabaseConstructor : RoomDatabaseConstructor<AppDatabase> {
override fun initialize(): AppDatabase
}
```
Room generates `actual` implementations per platform. **Android-only:** skip `@ConstructedBy`, use `Room.databaseBuilder(context, AppDatabase::class.java, "app.db")`.
### Database instantiation
```kotlin
fun getRoomDatabase(builder: RoomDatabase.Builder<AppDatabase>): AppDatabase =
builder.setDriver(BundledSQLiteDriver()).setQueryCoroutineContext(Dispatchers.IO).build()
```
Each platform provides its own `getDatabaseBuilder`. See [KMP setup guide](https://developer.android.com/kotlin/multiplatform/room).
## Critical Performance Rules
| Rule | Why |
|------|-----|
| Index every column in `WHERE`, `ORDER BY`, `JOIN ON` | Avoids full table scan: O(n) → O(log n) |
| Batch writes inside `@Transaction` | Individual inserts each trigger separate disk sync |
| Select only needed columns (projection data classes) | Reduces memory and I/O vs `SELECT *` |
| `Flow` for reactive reads, `suspend` for writes | Auto-notify on changes; keep main thread free |
| Never `allowMainThreadQueries()` in production | Blocks UI, causes ANRs |
| Use `BundledSQLiteDriver` for KMP | Consistent SQLite version across platforms |
| Provide `RoomDatabase` as DI singleton | Each instance manages its own connection pool |
## Entity Design
```kotlin
@Entity(
tableName = "tasks",
indices = [Index("projectId"), Index("projectId", "dueDate")]
)
data class TaskEntity(
@PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true) val id: Long = 0,
val title: String,
val description: String,
val projectId: Long,
@ColumnInfo(name = "due_date") val dueDate: Long? = null,
@ColumnInfo(defaultValue = "0") val isCompleted: Boolean = false,
@Ignore val displayOrder: Int = 0
)
```
Composite key: `@Entity(primaryKeys = ["taskId", "labelId"])`. Full-text search: `@Fts4(contentEntity = ...)` with `MATCH` queries.
### Indexes
| Scenario | Index? | Reason |
|----------|--------|--------|
| Column in `WHERE`/`ORDER BY`/`JOIN ON` | Yes | Avoids full scan / sort pass |
| Foreign key column | Yes | Room warns if missing |
| Rarely queried column / tiny table | No | Wastes storage, slows writes |
Composite index `(a, b)` accelerates queries on `a` alone or both. Column order matters — most selective first.
## DAO Patterns
```kotlin
@Dao
interface TaskDao {
@Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.ABORT) suspend fun insert(task: TaskEntity): Long
@Insert suspend fun insertAll(tasks: List<TaskEntity>): List<Long>
@Update suspend fun update(task: TaskEntity)
@Upsert suspend fun upsert(task: TaskEntity)
@Delete suspend fun delete(task: TaskEntity)
@Query("DELETE FROM tasks WHERE projectId = :projectId") suspend fun deleteByProject(projectId: Long)
@Query("SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE projectId = :projectId ORDER BY due_date ASC")
fun observeByProject(projectId: Long): Flow<List<TaskEntity>>
@Query("SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE id = :id") suspend fun getById(id: Long): TaskEntity?
}
```
`@Upsert` (Room 2.5+) inserts or updates by primary key. Prefer over `@Insert(onConflict = REPLACE)` which deletes then re-inserts, triggering cascading deletes. Room auto-invalidates `Flow` queries on table changes.
**KMP:** all DAO functions for non-Android must be `suspend` or return `Flow`.
### Performance-oriented queries
```kotlin
data class TaskSummary(val id: Long, val title: String, @ColumnInfo(name = "due_date") val dueDate: Long?)
@Query("SELECT id, title, due_date FROM tasks WHERE projectId = :projectId")
fun observeSummaries(projectId: Long): Flow<List<TaskSummary>>
@Query("SELECT projectId, COUNT(*) AS taskCount, SUM(CASE WHEN isCompleted = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS completedCount FROM tasks GROUP BY projectId")
suspend fun getProjectStats(): List<ProjectStats>
@Transaction
suspend fun replaceAllForProject(projectId: Long, tasks: List<TaskEntity>) {
deleteByProject(projectId); insertAll(tasks)
}
```
Always use `:paramName` bind parameters — never concatenate. Use `LIMIT` for bounded results. For unbounded scrolling, use [Paging](paging.md). For offline-first paging with Room, see [paging-offline.md](paging-offline.md).
## Relationships
### One-to-many
```kotlin
data class ProjectWithTasks(
@Embedded val project: ProjectEntity,
@Relation(parentColumn = "id", entityColumn = "projectId") val tasks: List<TaskEntity>
)
@Transaction @Query("SELECT * FROM projects WHERE id = :id")
suspend fun getWithTasks(id: Long): ProjectWithTasks?
```
Always `@Transaction` on relational queries — Room issues multiple queries internally.
### Many-to-many with Junction
```kotlin
@Entity(
tableName = "task_labels", primaryKeys = ["taskId", "labelId"],
foreignKeys = [
ForeignKey(entity = TaskEntity::class, parentColumns = ["id"], childColumns = ["taskId"], onDelete = ForeignKey.CASCADE),
ForeignKey(entity = LabelEntity::class, parentColumns = ["id"], childColumns = ["labelId"], onDelete = ForeignKey.CASCADE)
],
indices = [Index("labelId")]
)
data class TaskLabelCrossRef(val taskId: Long, val labelId: Long)
data class TaskWithLabels(
@Embedded val task: TaskEntity,
@Relation(parentColumn = "id", entityColumn = "id",
associateBy = Junction(TaskLabelCrossRef::class, parentColumn = "taskId", entityColumn = "labelId"))
val labels: List<LabelEntity>
)
```
## TypeConverters
```kotlin
class Converters {
@TypeConverter fun fromInstant(value: Long?): Instant? = value?.let { Instant.fromEpochMilliseconds(it) }
@TypeConverter fun toInstant(instant: Instant?): Long? = instant?.toEpochMilliseconds()
}
```
**KMP:** use `kotlinx-datetime`. Reserve TypeConverters for simple mappings (timestamps, enums) — prefer normalized tables over JSON blobs.
## Transactions
- **KMP:** `database.useWriterConnection { it.immediateTransaction { } }` for writes, `database.useReaderConnection { it.deferredTransaction { } }` for consistent reads
- **Android-only:** `database.withTransaction { }` (not available in KMP `commonMain`)
- **DAO-level:** `@Transaction` to group multiple queries atomically
## Migrations
```kotlin
val MIGRATION_1_2 = object : Migration(1, 2) {
override fun migrate(connection: SQLiteConnection) {
connection.execSQL("ALTER TABLE tasks ADD COLUMN priority INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0")
}
}
```
`.addMigrations(MIGRATION_1_2)`. **AutoMigration:** `autoMigrations = [AutoMigration(from = 1, to = 2)]` for simple changes. Export schema to VCS; `fallbackToDestructiveMigration()` only in early dev.
## MVI Integration
Map entities to domain models at the repository boundary (`TaskEntity.toDomain()` / `Task.toEntity()`). Never pass `@Entity` classes to the UI. Provide `RoomDatabase` and DAOs as DI singletons.
For the ViewModel collection pattern, see [architecture.md](architecture.md) — Reactive Data Collection.
## Testing
- **DAO tests:** `Room.inMemoryDatabaseBuilder<AppDatabase>()` with `BundledSQLiteDriver` + test dispatcher. Test `Flow` with Turbine.
- **Migration tests:** `MigrationTestHelper` — create at old version, run `runMigrationsAndValidate`, verify.
- **ViewModel tests:** Fake DAO backed by `MutableStateFlow<List<Entity>>`. See [testing.md](testing.md).
## Anti-Patterns
| Anti-pattern | Why it is harmful | Better replacement |
|---|---|---|
| `allowMainThreadQueries()` | Blocks UI, ANRs | `suspend` + `Flow` |
| `SELECT *` everywhere | Loads unused columns | Projection data classes |
| Missing indexes on queried columns | Full table scan | `@Entity(indices = [...])` |
| Destructive fallback only | Users lose data | `Migration` or `AutoMigration` |
| `@Insert(onConflict = REPLACE)` with FKs | Cascading deletes | `@Upsert` |
| Blocking DAO functions on KMP | Crashes non-Android | `suspend` or `Flow` |
| No `@Transaction` on relational queries | Inconsistent snapshot | Always `@Transaction` with `@Relation` |
| Multiple `RoomDatabase` instances | Breaks invalidation | DI singleton |
| Large blobs / nested JSON via TypeConverter | Bloats DB, opaque to SQL | File paths + normalized tables |
