cd ecology-plugins/oceanbase-sqlalchemy-plugin
pip install -e .

Quick Start

Basic Usage

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, text
from oceanbase_sqlalchemy.utils import build_safe_connection_string

# Build connection string
connection_string = build_safe_connection_string(
    username="your_username",
    password="your_password", 
    host="your_host",
    port="2881",
    service_name="your_service_name"
)

# Create engine
engine = create_engine(connection_string)

# Test connection
with engine.connect() as conn:
    result = conn.execute(text("SELECT 1 FROM DUAL"))
    print(result.fetchone())

Using with SQLAlchemy ORM

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, Column, Integer, String, MetaData, Table
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from oceanbase_sqlalchemy.utils import build_safe_connection_string

# Create engine
connection_string = build_safe_connection_string(
    username="your_username",
    password="your_password",
    host="your_host", 
    port="2881",
    service_name="your_service_name"
)
engine = create_engine(connection_string)

# Define model
Base = declarative_base()

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'users'
    
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String(50))
    email = Column(String(100))

# Create tables
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
