SQLAlchemy-Catalyst

SQLAlchemy-Catalyst is a collection of helper methods for base SQLAlchemy classes.

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install SQLAlchemy-Catalyst

Usage

Importing

database.py:

from SQLAlchemy_Catalyst import Catalyst
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

engine = create_engine('sqlite:///example.db')
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)

class ExampleModel(Catalyst):
  __tablename__ = 'example_table'

  id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
  name = Column(String(50))
  age = Column(Integer)

Implementing

implementation.py:

from database import ExampleModel, Session
example = ExampleModel(name='John', age=30)
session = Session()
session.add(example)
session.commit()

# Call the methods on the example instance
example.add_if_new(session, ['name'], {'name': 'Mary'})
example.add_or_update(session, {'name': 'Mary'}, {'age': 40})
example.update_if_empty(session, {'name': 'Mary'}, {'age': 40})
example.merge_records_attributes(session, {'name': 'Mary'}, {'age': 40})
example.bulk_upsert(session, {'name': 'Mary'}, {'age': 40})
example.increment_column(session, {'name': 'Mary'}, 'age', 10)
example.decrement_column(session, {'name': 'Mary'}, 'age', 5)
