## Install
pip install sqlite-minutils
## Use
First, import the sqlite-miniutils library. Through the use of the
**all** attribute in our Python modules by using `import *` we only
bring in the `Database`, `Queryable`, `Table`, `View` classes. There’s
no risk of namespace pollution.
``` python
from sqlite_minutils.db import *
```
Then we create a SQLite database. For the sake of convienance we’re
doing it in-memory with the `:memory:` special string. If you wanted
something more persistent, name it something not surrounded by colons,
`data.db` is a common file name.
``` python
db = Database(":memory:")
```
Let’s drop (aka ‘delete’) any tables that might exist. These docs also
serve as a test harness, and we want to make certain we are starting
with a clean slate. This also serves as a handy sneak preview of some of
the features of this library.
``` python
for t in db.tables: t.drop()
```
User tables are a handy way to create a useful example with some
real-world meaning. To do this, we first instantiate the `users` table
object:
``` python
users = Table(db, 'Users')
users
```
<Table Users (does not exist yet)>
The table doesn’t exist yet, so let’s add some columns via the
`Table.create` method:
``` python
users.create(columns=dict(id=int, name=str, age=int))
users
```
<Table Users (id, name, age)>
What if we need to change the table structure?
For example User tables often include things like password field. Let’s
add that now by calling `create` again, but this time with
`transform=True`. We should now see that the `users` table now has the
`pwd:str` field added.
``` python
users.create(columns=dict(id=int, name=str, age=int, pwd=str), transform=True, pk='id')
users
```
<Table Users (id, name, age, pwd)>
``` python
print(db.schema)
```
CREATE TABLE "Users" (
[id] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
[name] TEXT,
[age] INTEGER,
[pwd] TEXT
);
## Queries
Let’s add some users to query:
``` python
users.insert(dict(name='Raven', age=8, pwd='s3cret'))
users.insert(dict(name='Magpie', age=5, pwd='supersecret'))
users.insert(dict(name='Crow', age=12, pwd='verysecret'))
users.insert(dict(name='Pigeon', age=3, pwd='keptsecret'))
users.insert(dict(name='Eagle', age=7, pwd='s3cr3t'))
```
<Table Users (id, name, age, pwd)>
A simple unfiltered select can be executed using `rows` property on the
table object.
``` python
users.rows
```
<generator object Queryable.rows_where at 0x10849f6f0>
Let’s iterate over that generator to see the results:
``` python
[o for o in users.rows]
```
[{'id': 1, 'name': 'Raven', 'age': 8, 'pwd': 's3cret'},
{'id': 2, 'name': 'Magpie', 'age': 5, 'pwd': 'supersecret'},
{'id': 3, 'name': 'Crow', 'age': 12, 'pwd': 'verysecret'},
{'id': 4, 'name': 'Pigeon', 'age': 3, 'pwd': 'keptsecret'},
{'id': 5, 'name': 'Eagle', 'age': 7, 'pwd': 's3cr3t'}]
Filtering can be done via the `rows_where` function:
``` python
[o for o in users.rows_where('age > 3')]
```
[{'id': 1, 'name': 'Raven', 'age': 8, 'pwd': 's3cret'},
{'id': 2, 'name': 'Magpie', 'age': 5, 'pwd': 'supersecret'},
{'id': 3, 'name': 'Crow', 'age': 12, 'pwd': 'verysecret'},
{'id': 5, 'name': 'Eagle', 'age': 7, 'pwd': 's3cr3t'}]
We can also `limit` the results:
``` python
[o for o in users.rows_where('age > 3', limit=2)]
```
[{'id': 1, 'name': 'Raven', 'age': 8, 'pwd': 's3cret'},
{'id': 2, 'name': 'Magpie', 'age': 5, 'pwd': 'supersecret'}]
The `offset` keyword can be combined with the `limit` keyword.
``` python
[o for o in users.rows_where('age > 3', limit=2, offset=1)]
```
[{'id': 2, 'name': 'Magpie', 'age': 5, 'pwd': 'supersecret'},
{'id': 3, 'name': 'Crow', 'age': 12, 'pwd': 'verysecret'}]
The `offset` must be used with `limit` or raise a `ValueError`:
``` python
try:
[o for o in users.rows_where(offset=1)]
except ValueError as e:
print(e)
```
Cannot use offset without limit
