wpostgresql

wpostgresql is a high-performance, type-safe PostgreSQL ORM that leverages Pydantic models for schema definition and automatic table synchronization. It provides a seamless developer experience with full support for both synchronous and asynchronous operations.

Key Features

• Pydantic Integration — Define database schemas using Pydantic v2 models with automatic type validation
• Auto Table Synchronization — Tables are created and updated automatically based on model changes
• Type-Safe Operations — Full type hints with Pydantic validation for data integrity
• Async/Await Support — Complete async API for high-performance applications
• Connection Pooling — Built-in connection pooling for both sync and async operations
• Transaction Management — Robust transaction support with automatic rollback
• Bulk Operations — Efficient bulk insert, update, and delete operations
• Constraint Support — Primary Key, UNIQUE, and NOT NULL constraints via field descriptions
• Query Builder — Safe SQL query construction with injection prevention
• CLI Tool — Command-line interface for database management
• Code Quality — Pylint score > 9.5, Bandit security checks passing, mypy type checking
• Pagination — LIMIT/OFFSET and page-number based pagination
• SQLite Backup — Export PostgreSQL table data directly to SQLite database files using wsqlite

Technical Stack

Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or higher
• PostgreSQL 13 or higher
• Docker (optional, for containerized setup)

Using pip

pip install wpostgresql

From Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/wisrovi/wpostgresql.git
cd wpostgresql

# Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install with development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Using Docker (Optional)

cd docker
docker-compose up -d

This starts:

• PostgreSQL 13.2 on port 5432
• pgAdmin4 on port 1717

Configuration

Database Connection Configuration

Create a configuration dictionary:

DB_CONFIG = {
    "dbname": "your_database",
    "user": "your_user",
    "password": "your_password",
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 5432,
}

Environment Variables (Recommended)

For production, use environment variables to avoid exposing credentials:

import os

DB_CONFIG = {
    "dbname": os.getenv("DB_NAME", "mydb"),
    "user": os.getenv("DB_USER", "postgres"),
    "password": os.getenv("DB_PASSWORD"),
    "host": os.getenv("DB_HOST", "localhost"),
    "port": int(os.getenv("DB_PORT", 5432)),
}

Connection Pool Configuration

POOL_CONFIG = {
    "min_size": 2,
    "max_size": 20,
    "timeout": 30,
}

Usage

Basic Sync Usage

from pydantic import BaseModel
from wpostgresql import WPostgreSQL

class User(BaseModel):
    id: int
    name: str
    email: str

DB_CONFIG = {
    "dbname": "mydb",
    "user": "postgres",
    "password": "secret",
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 5432,
}

db = WPostgreSQL(User, DB_CONFIG)

# Insert
db.insert(User(id=1, name="John", email="john@example.com"))

# Query all
users = db.get_all()

# Query by field
john = db.get_by_field(name="John")

# Update
db.update(1, User(id=1, name="Jane", email="jane@example.com"))

# Delete
db.delete(1)

Async Usage

import asyncio
from pydantic import BaseModel
from wpostgresql import WPostgreSQL

class User(BaseModel):
    id: int
    name: str
    email: str

async def main():
    db = WPostgreSQL(User, DB_CONFIG)
    
    await db.insert_async(User(id=1, name="John", email="john@example.com"))
    users = await db.get_all_async()
    print(users)

asyncio.run(main())
