## QuestDB Connect

This repository contains an implementation of QuestDB's dialect for [SQLAlchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/),
as well as an engine specification for [Apache Superset](https://github.com/apache/superset/), using
[psycopg2](https://www.psycopg.org/) for database connectivity.

The Python module is available here:

_Psycopg2_ is a widely used and trusted Python module for connecting to and working with PostgreSQL databases.
It provides a comprehensive set of features for interacting with the PostgreSQL database system.

_SQLAlchemy_ is an open-source SQL toolkit and ORM library for Python. It provides a high-level API for
communicating with relational databases, including schema creation and modification, an SQL expression
language, and database connection management. The ORM layer abstracts away the complexities of the
database, allowing developers to work with Python objects instead of raw SQL statements.

_Apache Superset_ is a popular open-source business intelligence web application that enables users to
visualize and explore data through customizable dashboards and reports. It provides a rich set of data
visualizations, including charts, tables, and maps.

## Requirements

* **Python from 3.8.x to 3.10.x** (superset itself use version _3.9.x_)
* **Psycopg2** `('psycopg2-binary~=2.9.6')`
* **SQLAlchemy** `('SQLAlchemy<=1.4.47')`

You need to install these packages because questdb-connect depends on them.

## Installation

You can install this package using pip:

```shell
pip install questdb-connect
```

## SQLALchemy Sample Usage

Use the QuestDB dialect by specifying it in your SQLAlchemy connection string,
from that point on use SQLAlchemy:

```python
import datetime
import os

os.environ.setdefault('SQLALCHEMY_SILENCE_UBER_WARNING', '1')

import questdb_connect.dialect as qdbc
from sqlalchemy import Column, MetaData, create_engine, insert
from sqlalchemy.orm import declarative_base

Base = declarative_base(metadata=MetaData())


class Signal(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'signal'
    __table_args__ = (qdbc.QDBTableEngine('signal', 'ts', qdbc.PartitionBy.HOUR, is_wal=True),)
    source = Column(qdbc.Symbol)
    value = Column(qdbc.Double)
    ts = Column(qdbc.Timestamp, primary_key=True)


def main():
    engine = create_engine('questdb://localhost:8812/main')
    try:
        Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
        with engine.connect() as conn:
            conn.execute(insert(Signal).values(
                source='coconut',
                value=16.88993244,
                ts=datetime.datetime.utcnow()
            ))
    finally:
        if engine:
            engine.dispose()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
```
