sqldf for pandas

Project description

pandasql
========

<code>pandasql</code> allows you to query <code>pandas</code> DataFrames using SQL syntax. It works similarly to <code>sqldf</code> in R. <code>pandasql</code> seeks to provide a more familiar way of manipulating and cleaning data for people new to Python or <code>pandasql</code>.

####Installation
$ pip install -U pandasql

####Bascis
The main function used in pandasql is <code>sqldf</code>. sqldf accepts 2 parametrs
- a sql query string
- an set of session/environment variables (<code>locals()</code> or <code>globals()</code>)

from pandasql import sqldf

Specifying <code>locals()</code> or <code>globals()</code> can get tedious. You can defined a short helper function to fix this.

pysqldf = lambda q: sqldf(q, globals())

####Querying
<code>pandasql</code> uses <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html">SQLite syntax</a>. Any <code>pandas</code> dataframes will be automatically detected by pandasql. You can query them as you would any regular SQL table.


>>> from pandasql import sqldf, load_meat, load_births
>>> pysqldf = lambda q: sqldf(q, globals())
>>> meat = load_meat()
>>> births = load_births()
>>> print pysqldf("SELECT * FROM meat LIMIT 10;").head()
date beef veal pork lamb_and_mutton broilers other_chicken turkey

4 1944-05-01 00:00:00 681 106 1029 78 None None None

joins and aggregations are also supported

>>> q = """SELECT
m.date, m.beef, b.births
FROM
meats m
INNER JOIN
births b
ON m.date = b.date;"""
>>> joined = pyqldf(q)
>>> print joined.head()
date beef births

>>> q = "select
strftime('%Y', date) as year
, SUM(beef) as beef_total

meat
GROUP BY
year;"
>>> print pysqldf(q).head()
