sqlframe 1.1.2

Taking the Spark out of PySpark by converting to SQL

SQLFrame implements the PySpark DataFrame API in order to enable running transformation pipelines directly on database engines - no Spark clusters or dependencies required.

SQLFrame currently supports the following engines (many more in development):

• BigQuery
• DuckDB
• Postgres

SQLFrame also has a "Standalone" session that be used to generate SQL without any connection to a database engine.

• Standalone

SQLFrame is great for:

• Users who want to run PySpark DataFrame code without having to use a Spark cluster
• Users who want a SQL representation of their DataFrame code for debugging or sharing with others
• Users who want a DataFrame API that leverages the full power of their engine to do the processing

Installation

# BigQuery
pip install "sqlframe[bigquery]"
# DuckDB
pip install "sqlframe[duckdb]"
# Postgres
pip install "sqlframe[postgres]"
# Standalone
pip install sqlframe

See specific engine documentation for additional setup instructions.

Example Usage

from sqlframe.bigquery import BigQuerySession
from sqlframe.bigquery import functions as F
from sqlframe.bigquery import Window

session = BigQuerySession()
table_path = "bigquery-public-data.samples.natality"
# Top 5 years with the greatest year-over-year % change in new families with single child
df = (
    session.table(table_path)
    .where(F.col("ever_born") == 1)
    .groupBy("year")
    .agg(F.count("*").alias("num_single_child_families"))
    .withColumn(
        "last_year_num_single_child_families", 
        F.lag(F.col("num_single_child_families"), 1).over(Window.orderBy("year"))
    )
    .withColumn(
        "percent_change", 
        (F.col("num_single_child_families") - F.col("last_year_num_single_child_families")) 
        / F.col("last_year_num_single_child_families")
    )
    .orderBy(F.abs(F.col("percent_change")).desc())
    .select(
        F.col("year").alias("year"),
        F.format_number("num_single_child_families", 0).alias("new families single child"),
        F.format_number(F.col("percent_change") * 100, 2).alias("percent change"),
    )
    .limit(5)
)
