sqldf 0.3.2

A simple way to run SQL queries (SQLite3) on pandas.Dataframe objects.

SQLDF - Structured Query Language (SQL) on DataFrames (DF)

A simple way to run SQL (SQLite) queries on pandas.Dataframe objects.

How it works

1. It create a virtual in-memory SQLite3 database at runtime
2. It convert the pd.Dataframe input(s) to SQL table(s)
3. It proceed the SQL query on the table(s)
4. It convert back the SQL table(s) to updated pd.Dataframe(s) if required
5. It returns the result of the query if required

Requirements

• 'pandas>=1.0'

Installation

With pip (on pypi):

pip install sqldf

Examples of use

• SELECT query with WHERE condition

# Import libraries
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sqldf import run_query

# Create a dummy pd.Dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': ['A', 'B', np.NaN, 'C', 'D'], 'col2': ['F', np.NaN, 'G', 'H', 'I']})

# Define a SQL (SQLite3) query
sql_query = """
SELECT *
FROM df
WHERE col_1 IS NOT NULL;
"""

# Run the query
df_view = run_query(sql_query)

• UPDATE query that change inplace the value of a column

# Import libraries
import pandas as pd
from sqldf import run_query

# Create a dummy pd.Dataframe
url = ('https://raw.github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/master/pandas/tests/data/tips.csv')
tips = pd.read_csv(url)

# Define a SQL (SQLite3) query
sql_query = """
UPDATE tips
SET tip = tip*2
WHERE tip < 2;
"""

# Run the query
run_query(sql_query)
