Easy to use, light weight ORM

Installation

pip3 install pyDBMS

---

PyDBMS

Description: Pydb provides users with a light-weight, easy to use ORM(Object Relational Mapping) for multiple DBMS systems. The primary goal is to make communicating between databases as easy as possible using a unified base model type and abstract database interface. Pydb is designed to be easily extended to other languages as needed by the user.

Dependencies

When pydb is installed all libraries that will also be installed through pip. Pydb currently has no external dependencies until non-native databases are supported.

Usage

Models

Users have the ability to create their own custom models and seamlessly add them to their database of choice.

example_model.py

from pyDBMS import Model, Text, Float, Integer
class ExampleModel(Model):
  __table_name__ = 'example_models'
  __primary_keys__ = 'model_id' # alternatively ['model_id']

  model_id = Text()
  other_column = Integer()
  another_column = Float()

Selecting Model Entries From The Database

Users may select entries from the database. They can use filters as seen below:

db = SQLiteDB('example.db')

results1 = db.select(ExampleModel, model_id='uuid(1)')
or
results2 = db.select(ExampleModel, other_column=[100,200], another_column=2.0)

or they can select all the models in the database of the given type with:

db = SQLiteDB('example.db')

all_example_models = db.select(ExamplModel)

Inserting And Updating Entries

Users can insert and update model entries across multiple databases with a uniform interface as seen below

local_db = SQLiteDB('local.db')
remote_db = PostgreSQLDB(host='http://db.example.com/',username='admin',password='password123')

# ************************
# process creating models
# ************************
model1 = ExampleModel(model_id='test_id',other_column=100)

local_db.insert(model1)
# same model can be used to upload to postgres DB
remote_db.insert(model1)

model1['another_column'] = 3.14

#update both db's
local_db.update(model1)
remote_db.update(model1)

Query Existing Databases Info

db = SQLiteDB('/location/for/database')

# list tables and columns

for table in db.tables():
  print(table + ':')
  for column in db.get_columns(table):
    print(column)

How to test the software

Pydb is developed using Test-Driven Development. All the unittests can be run using the following command in the root directory:

python3 -m unittest discover

Known issues

Pydb currently only supports the Sqlite database as the requirements are being elicited.
