Overview

db.py

What is it?

db.py is an easier way to interact with your databases. It makes it easier to explore tables, columns, views, etc. It puts the emphasis on user interaction, information display, and providing easy to use helper functions.

db.py uses pandas to manage data, so if you're already using pandas, db.py should feel pretty natural. It's also fully compatible with the IPython Notebook, so not only is db.py extremely functional, it's also pretty.

IPython Notebook friendly

Quickstart

Installation

db.py is on PyPi.

$ pip install db.py

The database libraries being used under the hood are optional dependencies (if you use mysql, you probably don't care about installing psycopg2). Based on the databases you're using, you'll need one (or many) of the following:

Demo

>>> from db import DemoDB # or connect to your own using DB. see below
>>> db = DemoDB() # comes from: http://chinookdatabase.codeplex.com/
>>> db.tables

How To

Connecting to a Database

The DB() object

Arguments

  • username: your username
  • password: your password
  • hostname: hostname of the database (i.e. localhost, dw.mardukas.com, ec2-54-191-289-254.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com)
  • port: port the database is running on (i.e. 5432)
  • dbname: name of the database (i.e. hanksdb)
  • filename: path to sqlite database (i.e. baseball-archive-2012.sqlite, employees.db)
  • dbtype: type of database you're connecting to (postgres, mysql, sqlite, redshift)
  • profile: name of the profile you want to use to connect. using this negates the need to specify any other arguments
  • exclude_system_tables: whether or not to load schema information for internal tables. for example, postgres has a bunch of tables prefixed with pg_ that you probably don't actually care about. on the other had if you're administrating a database, you might want to query these tables
  • limit: default number of records to return in a query. This is used by the DB.query method. You can override it by adding limit={X} to the query method, or by passing an argument to DB(). None indicates that there will be no limit (That's right, you'll be limitless. Bradley Cooper style.)
>>> from db import DB
>>> db = DB(username="greg", password="secret", hostname="localhost",
            dbtype="postgres")

Saving a profile

>>> from db import DB
>>> db = DB(username="greg", password="secret", hostname="localhost",
            dbtype="postgres")
>>> db.save_credentials() # this will save to "default"
>>> db.save_credentials(profile="local_pg")

Connecting from a profile

>>> from db import DB
>>> db = DB() # this loads "default" profile
>>> db = DB(profile="local_pg")

List your profiles
