            ![execsql logo](https://execsql.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/execsql_logo_01.png) *Multi-DBMS SQL script processor.*
*execsql.py* is a Python program that runs a SQL script stored in a text file 
against a PostgreSQL, MS-Access, SQLite, DuckDB, MS-SQL-Server, MySQL, MariaDB,
Firebird, or Oracle database, or an ODBC DSN.  *execsql* also supports a
set of special commands (metacommands) that can import and export data,
copy data between databases, and conditionally execute SQL statements and metacommands.  
These metacommands make up a control language that works the same across 
all supported database management systems (DBMSs). The metacommands are 
embedded in SQL comments, so they will be ignored by other script 
processors (e.g., *psql* for Postgres and *sqlcmd* for SQL Server).  The 
metacommands make up a toolbox that can be used to create both automated 
and interactive data processing applications.

The program's features and requirements are summarized below.

Capabilities
=========================

You can use *execsql* to:

* Import data from text files or spreadsheets into
  a database.
* Copy data between different databases, even databases using different
  types of DBMSs.
* Export tables and views as formatted text, comma-separated values (CSV), tab-separated
  values (TSV), OpenDocument spreadsheets, HTML tables, JSON, XML, LaTeX tables, HDF5
  tables, unformatted (e.g., binary) data, or several other formats.
* Export data to non-tabular formats using several different
  template processors.
* Display a table or view in a GUI dialog,
  optionally allowing the user to select a data row, enter a data
  value, or respond to a prompt.
* Display a pair of tables or views in a GUI dialog, allowing the user
  to compare data and find rows with matching or non-matching key values.
* Conditionally execute different SQL commands and metacommands based on the DBMS in use,
  the database in use, data values, user input, and other conditions.
* Execute blocks of SQL statements or *execsql* metacommands repeatedly, using
  any of three different looping methods.
* Use simple dynamically-created data entry forms to get user input.
* Write status or informational messages to the console or to a file 
  during the processing of a SQL script. Status messages and data exported in 
  text format can be combined in a single text file. Data tables can be 
  exported in a text format that is compatible with Markdown pipe tables,
  so that script output can be converted into a variety of document formats.
* Write more modular and maintainable SQL code by factoring repeated 
  code out into separate scripts, parameterizing the code using 
  substitution variables, and using the INCLUDE or SCRIPT metacommands 
  to merge the modules into a single stream of commands.
* Merge multiple elements of a workflow—e.g., data loading, summarization, and
  reporting—into a single script for better coupling of related steps and more
  secure maintenance.
* Use *execsql* as a CGI script for a web application that needs to run
  SQL scripts and return database output.

Standard SQL provides no features for interacting with external files or 
with the user, or for controlling the flow of actions to be carried out
based either on data or on user input.  Some DBMSs provide these features,
but capabilities and syntax differ between DBMSs.  *execsql* provides 
these features in a way that operates identically across all supported 
DBMSs on both Linux and Windows.

*execsql* is inherently a command-line program that can operate in a completely 
non-interactive mode (except for password prompts). Therefore, it is suitable 
for incorporation into a toolchain controlled by a shell script (on Linux), 
batch file (on Windows), or other system-level scripting application. When 
used in this mode, the only interactive elements will be password prompts.
However, several metacommands generate interactive prompts and data
displays, so *execsql* scripts can be written to provide some user interactivity.

In addition, *execsql* automatically maintains a log that documents key 
information about each run of the program, including the databases that are 
used, the scripts that are run, and the user's choices in response to 
interactive prompts. Together, the script and the log provide documentation 
of all actions carried out that may have altered data.

The documentation includes 30 examples showing the use of
*execsql*'s metacommands, in both simple and complex scripts.


An Illustration
=================

The following code illustrates the use of metacommands and substitution variables.
Lines starting with "\-\- !x!" are metacommands that implement *execsql*-specific features.
Identifiers enclosed in pairs of exclamation points (!!) are substitution variables
that have been defined with the SUB metacommand.  The "$date_tag" variable is
a substitution variable that is defined by *execsql* itself rather than by the user.

    -- ==== Configuration ====
    -- Put the (date-tagged) logfile name in the 'inputfile' substitution variable.
    -- !x! SUB inputfile logs/errors_!!$date_tag!!
    -- Ensure that the export directory will be created if necessary.
    -- !x! CONFIG MAKE_EXPORT_DIRS Yes

    -- ==== Display Fatal Errors ====
    -- !x! IF(file_exists(!!inputfile!!))
        -- Import the data to a staging table.
        -- !x! IMPORT TO REPLACEMENT staging.errorlog FROM !!inputfile!!
        -- Create a view to display only fatal errors.
        create temporary view fatals as
            select user, run_time, process
            from   staging.errorlog
            where  severity = 'FATAL';
        -- !x! IF(HASROWS(fatals))
            -- Export the fatal errors to a dated report.
            -- !x! EXPORT fatals TO reports/error_report_!!$date_tag!! AS CSV
            -- Also display it to the user in a GUI.
            -- !x! PROMPT MESSAGE "Fatal errors in !!inputfile!!:" DISPLAY fatals
        -- !x! ELSE
            -- !x! WRITE "There are no fatal errors."
        -- !x! ENDIF
    -- !x! ELSE
        -- !x! WRITE "There is no error log."
    -- !x! ENDIF
    drop table if exists staging.errorlog cascade;

The IMPORT metacommand reads the specified file and loads the data into
the target (staging) table, automatically choosing appropriate data types
for each column.  The EXPORT metacommand saves the data in a CSV file
that can be used by other applications.  The PROMPT metacommand produces
a GUI display of the data as follows:

![PROMPT display of 'fatals' view](https://execsql.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/fatals.png)

The complete documentation includes additional examples.


Requirements
===========================

The *execsql* program uses third-party Python libraries to communicate with 
different database and spreadsheet software. These libraries must be 
installed to use those programs with *execsql*. Only those libraries that 
are needed, based on the command line arguments and metacommands, must 
be installed. The libraries required for each database or spreadsheet 
application are:

* PosgreSQL: psycopg2.
* MariaDB or MySQL: pymysql.
* SQL Server: pydobc.
* DuckDB: duckdb.
* Firebird: fdb.
* MS-Access: pydobc and pywin32.
* Oracle: cx-Oracle.
* DSN connections: pyodbc.
* OpenDocument spreadsheets: odfpy.
* Excel spreadsheets (read only): xlrd and openpyxl.

Connections to SQLite databases are made using Python's standard library, 
so no additional software is needed.

If the Jinja or Airspeed template processors will be used, those software
libraries must also be installed.

All of these libraries can be installed from the Python Package Index (PyPI)
using *pip*.

Documentation, Tools, and Templates
===========================================

Complete documentation is at [Read the Docs](https://execsql.readthedocs.io/)

Tools that are installed with *execsql*, that illustrate various uses, and that are useful in their
own right, are:

* Upsert scripts): A set of *execsql* scripts for
  Postgres, MariaDB/MySQL, and SQL Server that will perform a merge (upsert) operation
  on multiple tables simultaneously, automatically ordering the tables according to
  foreign key constraints, and performing null, primary key, and foreign key data
  integrity checks.  These scripts use the *information_schema* views and so operate
  on any set of tables in any supported DBMS without customization.
* Staging table comparison scripts: A set of *execsql*
  scripts for Postgres, MariaDB/MySQL, and SQL Server that will perform various comparisons
  of the data in a staging table to the data in the corresponding base table.  These scripts
  use the *information_schema* views and so operate on any table in any supported DBMS
  without customization.
* Glossary creation script: An *execsql* script that
  will produce a table of terms (e.g., column names) and definitions, and that may be useful
  to accompany a database export.

The set of script templates that are also installed include several types of templates that may be useful in conjunction with *execsql.py*. These are:

* *execsql.conf*: An annotated version of the configuration file that includes all
  configuration settings and notes on their usage.
* *script_template.sql*: A framework for SQL scripts that make use of several *execsql*
  features.  It includes sections for custom configuration settings, custom logfile creation,
  and reporting of unexpected script exits (through user cancellation or errors).
* *config_settings.sqlite* and *example_config_prompt.sql*: A SQLite database containing
  specifications for all settings configurable with the CONFIG metacommand, in the form
  used by the PROMPT ENTRY_FORM metacommand, and a SQL script illustrating how this database  can be used to prompt the user for some or all of the configuration settings.

These scripts use the *information_schema* views and so operate\n  on any set of tables in any supported DBMS without customization.\n* Staging table comparison scripts: A set of *execsql*\n  scripts for Postgres, MariaDB/MySQL, and SQL Server that will perform various comparisons\n  of the data in a staging table to the data in the corresponding base table.  These scripts\n  use the *information_schema* views and so operate on any table in any supported DBMS\n  without customization.\n* Glossary creation script: An *execsql* script that\n  will produce a table of terms (e.g., column names) and definitions, and that may be useful\n  to accompany a database export.\n\nThe set of script templates that are also installed include several types of templates that may be useful in conjunction with *execsql.py*. These are:\n\n* *execsql.conf*: An annotated version of the configuration file that includes all\n  configuration settings and notes on their usage.\n* *script_template.sql*: A framework for SQL scripts that make use of several *execsql*\n  features.  It includes sections for custom configuration settings, custom logfile creation,\n  and reporting of unexpected script exits (through user cancellation or errors).\n* *config_settings.sqlite* and *example_config_prompt.sql*: A SQLite database containing\n  specifications for all settings configurable with the CONFIG metacommand, in the form\n  used by the PROMPT ENTRY_FORM metacommand, and a SQL script illustrating how this database  can be used to prompt the user for some or all of the configuration settings.\n\n\n\n\nCopyright and License\n================================\n\nCopyright (c) 2007-2024 R.Dreas Nielsen\n\nThis program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under\nthe terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software\nFoundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later\nversion.
