⚙️ Setup Using .env

Create a .env file in your project root to manage database configurations securely by renaming .env_example.

# .env_example (Rename to .env)
DB_TYPE=postgres
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=your_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
DB_NAME=test_db
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server}
ORACLE_SID=XE
ORACLE_PORT=1521

Loading .env in Code

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

load_dotenv()
db_type = os.getenv("DB_TYPE")
host = os.getenv("DB_HOST")
user = os.getenv("DB_USER")
password = os.getenv("DB_PASSWORD")
database = os.getenv("DB_NAME")

🛠 Usage Examples

SQLite Example

from sqlpyhelper.db_helper import SQLPyHelper

db = SQLPyHelper()
db.execute_query("CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT)")
db.execute_query("INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (?)", ("Alice",))
db.execute_query("SELECT * FROM users")
print(db.fetch_all())
db.close()

PostgreSQL Example

db = SQLPyHelper()
db.execute_query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS employees (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(100))")
db.execute_query("INSERT INTO employees (name) VALUES (%s)", ("Charlie",))
db.execute_query("SELECT * FROM employees")
print(db.fetch_all())
db.close()

MySQL Example

db = SQLPyHelper()
db.execute_query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS customers (id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(100))")
db.execute_query("INSERT INTO customers (name) VALUES (%s)", ("David",))
db.execute_query("SELECT * FROM customers")
print(db.fetch_all())
db.close()

SQL Server Example

db = SQLPyHelper()
db.execute_query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS orders (id INT PRIMARY KEY, product VARCHAR(100))")
db.execute_query("INSERT INTO orders (id, product) VALUES (?, ?)", (1, "Laptop"))
db.execute_query("SELECT * FROM orders")
print(db.fetch_all())
db.close()

Oracle Example

db = SQLPyHelper()
db.execute_query("CREATE TABLE employees (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR2(100))")
db.execute_query("INSERT INTO employees (id, name) VALUES (:1, :2)", (1, "Emily"))
db.execute_query("SELECT * FROM employees")
print(db.fetch_all())
db.close()
