pyqt-sql-demo 1.0.1

PyQT SQL executor demo example using DB API (no QtSQL)

PyQT based SQL query executor demo example

This is a demo example of using PyQT and SQLite via standard Python DB-API interface. It's created to be used as a tutorial or reference. It uses QtWidgets for interface, QTableView for displaying SQL query results, pygments for syntax highlighting, and sqlite3 for db connection.

   

Features

• Executes user's DDL/DML SQL queries
• Python3, PyQt5, DB-API 2.0 (does not use QtSql!)
• Connection string field available to user (default: local demo.db file)
• Query field available to user
• SQL syntax highlighting using pygments library
• Buttons to execute or fetch query and to commit or rollback the results
• QTableView is used to display results

Installation & Usage

Using pip (end user installation)

Install it from PyPI into your Python. This is a no-development way to install the package. An executable pyqtsqldemo will become available to you in your PATH environmental variable.

$ pip3 install pyqt-sql-demo

Launch via terminal.

$ pyqt-sql-demo

Using poetry (development)

Install the package into a virtual environment using Poetry.

$ poetry install

Run using poetry.

$ poetry run pyqt-sql-demo

Development

Use pyenv

I recommend installing and using pyenv to manage isolated Python versions on your machine that do not interfere with your system wide Python installation and with other Python versions. For example, you might have Python 2.7.15 as your system default interpreter, but at the same time you need both Python 3.7.2 for some other projects and Python 3.8.5 for this project installed on the same machine. Best way to achieve this is to use pyenv.

After installing pyenv install suitable Python version. This project was developed using Python 3.6 but was later upgraded to support latest 3.8.5.

$ pyenv install 3.8.5

You'll notice .pyenv-version file in the root directory of the project, so whenever you cd into project directory pyenv will automatically start using Python version specified in that file in this directory.

Use poetry

Poetry is the latest and most admirable python package manager in existence (as of 2020). This project is packed and distributed using Poetry.

The command below executed in the project's root directory will set up a virtual environment using current python version (system wide or the one specified using .pyenv-version file) and install all required dependencies into that virtual environment.

$ poetry install

Installing dependencies from lock file

Make modifications and run project:

$ poetry run pyqt-sql-demo

Make sure you run Black to format everything properly:

$ poetry run black .

All done! ✨ 🍰 ✨
