Simple ClickHouse SQLAlchemy Dialect

Project description

ClickHouse SQLAlchemy

ClickHouse dialect for SQLAlchemy to ClickHouse database.

https://coveralls.io/repos/github/xzkostyan/clickhouse-sqlalchemy/badge.svg?branch=master https://img.shields.io/travis/xzkostyan/clickhouse-sqlalchemy.svg?branch=master

Installation

The package can be installed using pip:

pip install clickhouse-sqlalchemy

Interfaces support

Connection Parameters

ClickHouse SQLAlchemy uses the following syntax for the connection string:

'clickhouse+<driver>://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>[?key=value..]'

Where:

  • driver is driver to use. Possible choices: http, native. http is default.

  • database is database connect to. Default is default.

Drivers options

There are several options can be specified in query string.

HTTP

  • port is port ClickHouse server is bound to. Default is 8123.

  • timeout in seconds. There is no timeout by default.

  • protocol to use. Possible choices: http, https. http is default.

Connection string to database test in default ClickHouse installation:

'clickhouse://default:@localhost/test'

When you are using nginx as proxy server for ClickHouse server connection string might look like:

'clickhouse://user:password@example.com:8124/test?protocol=https'

Where 8124 is proxy port.

Native

Please note that native connection is not encrypted. All data including user/password is transferred in plain text. You should use this connection over SSH or VPN (for example) while communicating over untrusted network.

Connection string to database test in default ClickHouse installation:

'clickhouse+native://default:@localhost/test'

All connection string parameters are proxied to clickhouse-driver. See it’s parameters.

Features

SQLAlchemy declarative support

Both declarative and constructor-style tables support:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, Column, MetaData, literal

from clickhouse_sqlalchemy import Table, make_session, get_declarative_base, types, engines

uri = 'clickhouse://default:@localhost/test'

engine = create_engine(uri)
session = make_session(engine)
metadata = MetaData(bind=engine)

Base = get_declarative_base(metadata=metadata)

class Rate(Base):
    day = Column(types.Date, primary_key=True)
    value = Column(types.Int32)

    __table_args__ = (
        engines.Memory(),
    )

another_table = Table('another_rate', metadata,
    Column('day', types.Date, primary_key=True),
    Column('value', types.Int32, server_default=literal(1)),
    engines.Memory()
)

Tables created in declarative way have lowercase with words separated by underscores naming convention. But you can easy set you own via SQLAlchemy __tablename__ attribute.

Basic DDL support

You can emit simple DDL. Example CREATE/DROP table:

table = Rate.__table__
table.create()
another_table.create()


another_table.drop()
table.drop()

Basic INSERT clause support

Simple batch INSERT:

from datetime import date, timedelta
from sqlalchemy import func

today = date.today()
rates = [{'day': today - timedelta(i), 'value': 200 - i} for i in range(100)]

# Emits single INSERT statement.
session.execute(table.insert(), rates)

Common SQLAlchemy query method chaining

order_by, filter, limit, offset, etc. are supported:

session.query(func.count(Rate.day)) \
    .filter(Rate.day > today - timedelta(20)) \
    .scalar()

session.query(Rate.value) \
    .order_by(Rate.day.desc()) \
    .first()

session.query(Rate.value) \
    .order_by(Rate.day) \
    .limit(10) \
    .all()

session.query(func.sum(Rate.value)) \
    .scalar()

Advanced INSERT clause support

INSERT FROM SELECT statement:

from sqlalchemy import cast

# Labels must be present.
select_query = session.query(
    Rate.day.label('day'),
    cast(Rate.value * 1.5, types.Int32).label('value')
).subquery()

# Emits single INSERT FROM SELECT statement
session.execute(
    another_table.insert()
    .from_select(['day', 'value'], select_query)
)

Many but not all of SQLAlchemy features are supported out of the box.

UNION ALL example:

from sqlalchemy import union_all

select_rate = session.query(
    Rate.day.label('date'),
    Rate.value.label('x')
)
select_another_rate = session.query(
    another_table.c.day.label('date'),
    another_table.c.value.label('x')
)

union_all(select_rate, select_another_rate).execute().fetchone()

External data for query processing

Currently can be used with native interface.

ext = Table(
    'ext', metadata, Column('x', types.Int32),
    clickhouse_data=[(101, ), (103, ), (105, )], extend_existing=True
)

rv = session.query(Rate) \
    .filter(Rate.value.in_(session.query(ext.c.x))) \
    .execution_options(external_tables=[ext]) \
    .all()

print(rv)

Supported ClickHouse-specific SQL

  • SELECT query:
    • WITH TOTALS

    • SAMPLE

    • lambda functions: x -> expr

See tests for examples.

Overriding default query settings

Set lower priority to query and limit max number threads to execute the request.

rv = session.query(func.sum(Rate.value)) \
    .execution_options(settings={'max_threads': 2, 'priority': 10}) \
    .scalar()

print(rv)

Running tests

mkvirtualenv testenv && python setup.py test

pip will automatically install all required modules for testing.
