Project description
MrDatabase v. 0.9.8
Databasing as easy as it gets!
Simple Code Examples
Installation
pip install mrdatabase
Create a Database
When creating an instance of MrDatabase, it will check if the path points to an existing sqlite .db file. If it does not, it will create it.
from mr_database import MrDatabase
db = MrDatabase('some/path/my.db')
Most connecting and disconnecting actions with the database is handled by the internals of MrDatabase.
Tables (DDL)
Creating a new table class is super easy. This class works both as schema and record factory. Simply create a class that inherits from Table
. Add fields as class variables. Each field must be an instance of Column
. Voilà , the table is ready!
from mr_database import Column
from mr_database import Table
from mr_database import DataTypes
class City(Table):
id = Column(DataTypes.integer, pk=True)
postalCode = Column(DataTypes.smallint, default=9999)
cityName = Column(DataTypes.varchar(40), default='New York')
With a table class in hand, creating or dropping a table in the database is as easy as shown below!
db.create_table(City)
db.drop_table(City)
Type Hinting
If you want Python 3 style type hints on your record intances, you will have to be a bit more verbose in how you define the table class.
You will have to make an __init__
method, initialize the super class and add each of the attributes, with type hint and set the default value from the class level Column
objects. It may sound complicated, but if you look below, it's quite doable. Type hinting can be extremely helpful. Especially if you use an editor like PyCharm.
class City(Table):
id = Column(DataTypes.integer, pk=True)
postalCode = Column(DataTypes.smallint, default=9999)
cityName = Column(DataTypes.varchar(40), default='New York')
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.id: int = City.id.default
self.postalCode: int = City.postalCode.default
self.cityName: str = City.cityName.default
Records (DML)
To insert, update or delete records in the database, you need record objects representing what you want to manipulate.
If you have setup an integer primary key on your table, the pimary key attribute will auto increment when inserting records. When you insert, the id of your record object will be updated with the assigned id.
You can create new record objects like the city1
example, where you make an instance of a table class, or you can fetch existing ones from the database using db.select_record
or db.select_records
. Lastly you can call .clone()
on the record you want to copy. This method returns a copy.deepcopy
if the record in question.
city1 = City()
city1.postal_code = 10115
city1.city_name = 'Berlin'
cities = db.select_records(City) # all cities
cities = db.select_records(City, condition='postalCode > 4000') # all cities with a postal code > 4000
a_city = db.select_record(City, condition='cityName="Berlin"') # just Berlin
city2 = city1.clone() # clone (copy.deepcopy)
db.insert_record(city1)
db.update_record(city1)
db.delete_record(city1)
Batching
By default, mutating actions like insert_record
and update_record
, commit changes to the database one action at a time. This is very easy to work with, but for heavy work loads, this can be quite taxing on performance. If you need to execute many mutating actions you can batch actions together to dramatically improve performance.
To set it up, you use the DatabaseConnection
context manager. You pass it the db
object and set con_type=ConType.batch
. All database actions called within the DatabaseConnection
will use the database connection managed by DatabaseConnection
.
from mr_database import DatabaseConnection
from mr_database import ConType
with DatabaseConnection(db, con_type=ConType.batch):
for clone_number in range(10000):
new_person = person_1.clone()
new_person.firstName += f'_{clone_number}'
db.insert_record(new_person)
The example above inserts 10.000 clones of a Person()
record. It takes less than 500 ms on a standard laptop ano 2017.
