SQLDataModel 0.1.76

A data model based on in-memory sqlite to fetch, manipulate and push data to and from multiple sources

SQLDataModel

SQLDataModel is a fast & lightweight data model with no additional dependencies for quickly fetching and storing your tabular data to and from the most commonly used databases & data sources in a couple lines of code. It's as easy as ETL:

from SQLDataModel import SQLDataModel

# Do the E part:
my_table = SQLDataModel.from_sql("your_table", cx_Oracle.Connection)

# Take care of your T business:
for row in my_table.iter_rows():
    print(row)

# Finish the L and be done:
my_table.to_sql("new_table", psycopg2.Connection)

Made for those times when you need to move data around but the full pandas, numpy, sqlalchemy installation is just overkill. SQLDataModel includes all the most commonly used features, including additional ones like pretty printing your table, at 1/1000 the size, 0.03MB vs 30MB

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install SQLDataModel.

$ pip install SQLDataModel

Then import the main class SQLDataModel into your local project, see usage details below.

Usage

from SQLDataModel import SQLDataModel

# Create a SQLDataModel object from any valid source, whether csv:
sdm = SQLDataModel.from_csv('region_data.csv')

# Any DB-API 2.0 connection like psycopg2, cx-oracle, pyodbc, sqlite3:
sdm = SQLDataModel.from_sql('region_data', psycopg2.Connection) 

# Python objects like dicts, lists, tuples, iterables:
sdm = SQLDataModel.from_dict(data=region_data)

# Slice it by rows and columns
sdm_country = sdm[2:7, ['country','total']]

# Transform and filter it
sdm = sdm[sdm['total'] < 3200]

# View it
print(sdm)

# Group by single or multiple columns:
sdm_group = sdm.group_by(['region','check'])

# View output.
print(sdm_group)

# Loop through it.
for row in sdm.iter_rows():
    print(row)

# Save it for later as csv.
sdm.to_csv('region_data.csv')

# Or SQL databases like PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite.
sdm.to_sql('table_data', sqlite3.Connection)

# Get it back again from any number of sources.
sdm_new = SQLDataModel.from_sql('table_data', sqlite3.Connection)

Data Sources

SQLDataModel supports various data formats and sources, including:

• HTML files or websites
• SQL database connections (PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle DB, SQL Server, TeraData)
• CSV or delimited text files
• JSON files or objects
• Numpy arrays
• Pandas dataframes
• Parquet files
• Python objects
• Pickle files

Note that SQLDataModel does not install any additional dependencies by default. This is done to keep the package as light-weight and small as possible. This means that to use package dependent methods like sdm.to_parquet() or its class method inverse SQLDataModel.from_parquet(), the parquet package pyarrow is required. The same goes for other package dependent methods like those converting to and from pandas and numpy objects.
