Introduction
The Python Database API Specification v2.0 (PEP 249) defines a set of methods that provides a consistent database interface independent of the actual database being used. The Python extension module for SAP HANA implements PEP 249. Once you install the module, you can access and change the information in SAP HANA databases from Python.
In PEP 249, autocommit is turned off by default. In the SAP HANA Python driver, autocommit is turned on by default.
For information, see: PEP 249 – Python Database API Specification v2.0
Getting Started
Install via pip install hdbcli or install manually via the HANA Client Install
Quick Start
For HANA Cloud databases, the port number is 443 and encryption is always enabled by default
For HANA tenant databases, use the port number 3**NN**13 (where NN is the SAP instance number - e.g. 30013).
For HANA system databases in a multitenant system, the port number is 3**NN**13.
For HANA single-tenant databases, the port number is 3**NN**15.
from hdbcli import dbapi
conn = dbapi.connect(
address="<hostname>",
port=3<NN>MM,
user="<username>",
password="<password>"
)
cursor = conn.cursor()
Execute a single statement that does not return a result set:
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE T1 (ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, C2 VARCHAR(255))")
cursor.close()
Use question mark parameter binding to insert values into the T1 table created above. The parameter values are supplied as a Python sequence and can be literal values or variable names. This example uses literal values:
sql = 'INSERT INTO T1 (ID, C2) VALUES (?, ?)' cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute(sql, (1, 'hello')) # returns True cursor.execute(sql, (2, 'hello again')) # returns True cursor.close()
Use named parameter binding to insert values into the T1 table. The values are supplied as a Python dictionary, and this example uses variable names.
sql = 'INSERT INTO T1 (ID, C2) VALUES (:id, :c2)'
cursor = conn.cursor()
id = 3
c2 = "goodbye"
cursor.execute(sql, {"id": id, "c2": c2})
# returns True
cursor.close()
Loop over the rows of the result set.
sql = 'SELECT * FROM T1'
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute(sql)
for row in cursor:
print(row)
