pg-upsert 1.2.1

A Python library for upserting data into postgres.

pg_upsert

pg_upsert is a Python package that provides a method to interactively update and insert (upsert) rows of a base table or base tables from the staging table(s) of the same name. The package is designed to work exclusively with PostgreSQL databases.

The program will perform initial table checks in the form of not-null, primary key, foreign key, and check constraint checks. If any of these checks fail, the program will exit with an error message. If all checks pass, the program will display the number of rows to be inserted and updated, and ask for confirmation before proceeding. If the user confirms, the program will perform the upserts and display the number of rows inserted and updated. If the user does not confirm, the program will exit without performing any upserts.

Credits

This project was created using inspiration from ExecSQL and the example script pg_upsert.sql. The goal of this project is to provide a Python implementation of pg_upsert.sql without the need for ExecSQL.

Running Tests Locally

Running tests locally requires a PostgreSQL database. The easiest way to set up a PostgreSQL database is to use Docker. The following command will create a PostgreSQL database called dev with the user docker and password docker.

docker run --name postgres -e POSTGRES_USER=docker -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<passwd> -e POSTGRES_DB=dev -p 5432:5432 -d postgres

Once initialized, import the test data by running the following command.

docker exec -i postgres psql -U docker -d dev < tests/data.sql

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content, modifying the values as needed.

POSTGRES_HOST=
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_DB=dev
POSTGRES_USER=docker
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=

Now you can run the tests using make test.
