ClickHouse Query

ClickHouse Query is a Python library that functions as a powerful SQL generator for ClickHouse. It simplifies the construction of complex queries by offering a fluent, Pythonic API and a comprehensive set of helper functions.

Features

• Fluent and intuitive API for building ClickHouse queries.
• Comprehensive set of functions for data manipulation and aggregation.
• Support for PREWHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, LIMIT, and other ClickHouse clauses.
• Easy integration with your existing ClickHouse client.
• Automatic generation of parameterized SQL queries to prevent SQL injection.

Installation

You can install the ClickHouse Query library using pip. Run the following command in your terminal:

pip install clickhouse-query

Usage

Here's an example of how to use the ClickHouse Query library:

import clickhouse_query as ch
from clickhouse_query import functions as chf

# Create a QuerySet instance for your table.
# Replace "my_table" with the actual name of your table.
# The `clickhouse_client` parameter should be your configured ClickHouse client instance.
q = (
    ch.QuerySet("my_table", clickhouse_client=...)
    # Filters rows before reading data from disk, improving query performance.
    # This example filters for records where the year of the 'date' column is 2020 or later.
    .prewhere(date__year__gte=2020)
    # Groups the data by the 'status' column.
    .group_by("status")
    # Selects the 'status' column and calculates the sum of the 'price' column, aliasing it as 's'.
    .select("status", s=chf.sum("price"))
    # Orders the results by the sum of 'price' ('s') in descending order.
    .order_by("-s")
    # Limits the number of returned rows to 10.
    .limit(10)
)

# Get the generated SQL query and its parameters.
# This is useful for debugging or understanding the underlying query.
sql, sql_params  = ch.get_sql(q)
# Example output:
# sql = 'SELECT status, sum(price) AS s FROM my_table PREWHERE (greaterOrEquals(toYear(date), %(__U_1)f)) GROUP BY status ORDER BY s DESC LIMIT %(__U_2)f'
# sql_params = {'__U_1': 2020, '__U_2': 10}

# Execute the query against your ClickHouse database.
# The `execute()` method returns a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a row.
data = q.execute()
# Example output:
# data = [{"status": "status1", "s": 200}, {"status": "status2", "s": 100}, ...]

In this example, sql will contain the generated SQL query and sql_params will contain its parameters. The execute method will execute the query and return the data.
