fastsql

A bit of extra usability for sqlalchemy.

Install

pip install fastsql

Usage examples

Connect to db and return filled MetaData object (sqlalchemy format)

# from https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/
load_dotenv('.env.local')

USER = environ['SQLUSER']
PASS = environ['SQLPASS']
DRIV = 'mysql+pymysql'
DB   = 'prisma'
HOST = '127.0.0.1'
PORT = 3306

db = conn_db(DRIV, USER, PASS, HOST, PORT, DB)

Show list of table names

' '.join(db.tables)

Get the User table. Note that db supports tab completion of table names here. The Table object and collection of columns is returned as a tuple.

u,uc = db.User

The collection of columns supports tab completion too.

uc.billingAddress

Get a data frame, with optional where clause and limit, with the df method on either Table or MetaData.

# These are equivalent
u.df(where=uc.email.startswith('j'), limit=1)
db.df(u.select(uc.email.startswith('j'), limit=1))

You can also pass SQL statements directly.

# returns a DataFrame
db.sql("select count(*) from User")
# returns None
db.sql("insert into User select * from User where email = 'xxx'")
