easy-db 0.2.0

Easy Python database interaction

easy_db

easy_db is a tool designed to quickly allow Python database interaction capabilities from a consolidated, simple user interface.

Current Features

• DataBase class can handle both SQLite and Access file-based databases

  • To "connect" to a database, use:

    db = easy_db.DataBase('test_sqlite3_db.db')
    

  • Then, retrieve table names with:

    db.pull_all_table_names()
    

  • Run a "SELECT * ..." query on any table:

    db.pull_full_table('TEST_TABLE')
    

    • returned object is a list of dicts where each dict represents a row and is form {column: value}
    • pull_full_table uses functools.lru_cache to limit repetative database queries

• For more fine-grained control of database work, theDataBase.provide_db_connection method is a decorator that can provide functions with a database connection (and cursor if specified). ```sh db = easy_db.DataBase('test_sqlite3_db.db')

  @db.provide_db_connection(also_cursor=True)
  def awesome_function(conn, cursor, x):
      data = cursor.execute('...SPECIAL SQL...').fetchall()
      conn.close()
      return data
  ```
