async-sqlserver-lib 1.0.3

A Python library for managing asynchronous SQL Server connections.

Async SQL Server Library

A lightweight Python library for managing asynchronous connections to SQL Server databases, designed for modern Python applications requiring robust, reusable, and efficient database management.

This library simplifies SQL Server database interactions using SQLAlchemy's async capabilities and aioodbc. It provides decorators for managing connections, commits, and rollbacks, ensuring clean and consistent database handling across your projects.

Installation

Using Pip

To install the library, run:

pip install async-sqlserver-lib

Using Pipenv

If you're using pipenv for dependency management:

pipenv install async-sqlserver-lib

---

Purpose

Why Use This Library?

1. Asynchronous Database Operations: Ideal for APIs and high-performance Python applications.
2. Simplified Connection Management: Provides reusable decorators for creating and closing database connections.
3. SQLAlchemy and aioodbc Integration: Leverages SQLAlchemy for ORM and query execution, and aioodbc for async database communication.
4. Ease of Use: Write clean, readable, and maintainable database interaction code with minimal setup.

Using the Library

The library allows you to manage asynchronous SQL Server connections with ease. Follow the steps below to start using it:

Set Up Your Environment Variables

To configure your SQL Server connection, create a .env file in your project root with the following details:

DB_DRIVER=ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
DB_USER=your_username
DB_PASS=your_password
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=1433
DB_NAME=your_database

---

Use the Library in Your Code

Here’s an example of fetching data from a SQL Server database using the library:

import asyncio
from async_sqlserver_lib.decorators import create_db_connection, close_db_connection
from sqlalchemy import text

@create_db_connection(
    driver="ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server",
    user="your_username",
    password="your_password",
    host="localhost",
    port=1433,
    database="your_database",
)
@close_db_connection
async def fetch_data(db_manager=None):
    """
    Fetch data from the SQL Server database.
    """
    async with db_manager.get_session() as session:
        query = text("SELECT TOP 5 * FROM your_table")  # Replace `your_table` with your table name
        result = await session.execute(query)
        return result.fetchall()

# Run your asynchronous function
async def main():
    data = await fetch_data()
    print("Fetched data:", data)

asyncio.run(main())

Running Tests

Prerequisites

Install testing dependencies:

pip install pytest pytest-asyncio

Run the Test Suite

Execute all tests with:

pytest

The test suite validates:

1. Connection management.
2. Decorator functionality.
3. Query execution.
