Getting started

Installation

With pip or easy_install:

pip install sqlify

or:

easy_install sqlify

or from the source:

python setup.py install

Basic Usage

Connecting to the sqlite3 database

import sqlite3
from sqlify import Session

conn = sqlite3.connect('my_test.db')
with Session(conn, autocommit=True) as sqlify:
    rest = sqlify.fetchone(
        table="test",
        fields="column_1",
    )

Connecting to the posgtresql server

The following snippet will connect to the posgtresql server and allocate a cursor:

import psycopg2
from sqlify import Session

conn = psycopg2.connect("host=localhost dbname=test user=postgres password=postgres")
with Session(conn, autocommit=True) as sqlify:
    rest = sqlify.fetchone(
        table="test",
        fields="column_1",
    )

By default psycopg2 generates result sets as collections.namedtuple objects (using psycopg2.extras.NamedTupleCursor). But because sqlify is connection agnostic you can easily modify it to use the DictCursor that returns a Dict object

import psycopg2
from psycopg2.extras import DictCursor

conn = psycopg2.connect("host=localhost dbname=test user=postgres password=postgres", cursor_factory=DictCursor)

Usage without context statement

If you don't like context based (aka with statement) or it doesn't fit your architecture you can also assign it to a variable and use it as you did expect. But remember that by using it this way you lost the auto-commit/rollback feature and auto-close of the database connection

sqlify = Session(conn, autocommit=True).session
rest = sqlify.fetchone(
    table="test",
    fields="column_1",
)

sqlify.commit()
sqlify.close()
