cloudy-warehouses 0.0.3.7

DO NOT USE - This is a sample program

cloudy_warehouses

Extension to pandas to allow for simplified interactions with cloud-based data-platforms.

Snowflake Support

The cloudy_warehouses pandas extension currently supports:

• reading from a Snowflake table
• writing to an existing Snowflake table from a pandas dataframe
• creating a new Snowflake table from a pandas dataframe
• creating a clone of an existing Snowflake table
• creating an empty clone of an existing Snowflake table (clones columns, not column data)
• listing Snowflake tables in a database

How To Use cloudy_warehouses

Installation

pip install cloudy_warehouses

Configuration

Upon installation, create an empty .py file. Then, configure the python file in the following way:

import pandas as pd 
import cloudy_warehouses

Run this empty file. After you run the file, a configuration file will be created in your HOME directory. The path to the configuration file is: $HOME/.cloudy_warehouses/configuration_profiles.yml

For Windows user: use $USERPROFILE instead of $HOME variable

The configuration file is a YAML file with the following format

profiles:
  snowflake:
    user: <your snowflake username>
    pass: <your snowflake password>
    acct: <your snowflake account>

The user, pass, and acct values all need to be filled in with your Snowflake credentials.

API

The intent has been to keep the API as simple as possible by minimally extending the pandas API and supporting, for the most part, the same functionality.

Reading a from a Snowflake table

pandas.read_snowflake(database: str, 
                      schema: str, 
                      table: str, 
                      sf_username: str = None, 
                      sf_password: str = None, 
                      sf_account: str = None
                      )

This method reads from a Snowflake table and returns the data in said tables as a pandas DataFrame. This method uses your Snowflake credentials stored in the configuration file. However, you can pass optional arguments (sf_username, sf_password, sf_account) to connect to Snowflake as well.

Listing all tables in a Snowflake database

pandas.list_snowflake_tables(database: str, 
                             sf_username: str = None, 
                             sf_password: str = None, 
                             sf_account: str = None
                             )

This method returns all of the tables in a Snowflake database as a pandas DataFrame. There is an option to pass arguments (sf_username, sf_password, sf_account) to connect to Snowflake.

Writing to an existing Snowflake table

pandas.DataFrame.cloudy_warehouses.write_snowflake(database: str,
                                                   schema: str, 
                                                   table: str, 
                                                   sf_username: str=None, 
                                                   sf_password: str=None, 
                                                   sf_account: str=None
                                                   )

This method writes to an existing Snowflake table and informs you on success. Like the read_snowflake method, write_snowflake uses your Snowflake credentials stored in the configuration file. However, you can pass optional arguments (sf_username, sf_password, sf_account) to connect to Snowflake as well.

Creating a new Snowflake table from a pandas dataframe

pandas.DataFrame.cloudy_warehouses.create_snowflake(database: str,
                                                    schema: str, 
                                                    table: str, 
                                                    sf_username: str=None, 
                                                    sf_password: str=None, 
                                                    sf_account: str=None
                                                    )

This method creates a new Snowflake table from a pandas dataframe. It uses the column names of the pandas dataframe as the columns in the new Snowflake table. It then writes the data of the pandas dataframe to the newly created Snowflake table. You can use the configuration file or pass optional arguments (sf_username, sf_password, sf_account) to connect to Snowflake.

Creating a clone of an existing Snowflake table

pandas.clone_snowflake(database: str,
                       schema: str,
                       new_table: str,
                       source_table: str,
                       source_schema: str = None,
                       source_database: str = None,
                       sf_username: str = None,
                       sf_password: str = None,
                       sf_account: str = None
                       )           

This method creates a clone of an existing Snowflake table. The new_table variable is the new table that will be created after the method is called. The source_table variable is the existing Snowflake table that is being cloned. The optional source_database and source_schema variables are the database and schema in which the source_table resides. If you plan to clone an existing table from the schema and database that the new_table will reside in, you do not need to include source_database and source_schema variables. You can use the configuration file or pass optional arguments (sf_username, sf_password, sf_account) to connect to Snowflake.

Creating an empty clone of an existing Snowflake table

pandas.clone_empty_snowflake(database: str,
                             schema: str,
                             new_table: str,
                             source_table: str,
                             source_schema: str = None,
                             source_database: str = None,
                             sf_username: str = None,
                             sf_password: str = None,
                             sf_account: str = None
                             )           

This method creates an empty clone of an existing Snowflake table. This means that of the columns from the source_table are copied into the new_table, but the new_table does not have any data within its columns. The new_table variable is the new table that will be created after the method is called. The source_table variable is the existing Snowflake table that is being cloned. The optional source_database and source_schema variables are the database and schema in which the source_table resides. If you plan to clone an existing table from the schema and database that the new_table will reside in, you do not need to include source_database and source_schema variables. You can use the configuration file or pass optional arguments (sf_username, sf_password, sf_account) to connect to Snowflake.
