Wrapper for the standard library Sqlite3 module to make setting up and using a database quicker and easier.
Databased is a module that wraps the standard library SQLite3 module to streamline integrating a database into a project.
Install with:
pip install databased
from databased import Databased
# for reference, "chi.db" is database of Chicago food inspections and business licenses
db = Databased("chi.db") # The file will be created if it doesn't exist
You can call db.connect() manually, but generally you shouldn't need to.
All database functions are built on the db.query() function, which will open a connection if one isn't already established.
e.g. Accessing the db.tables property uses the db.query() function and opens a connection for you
print(*db.tables, sep="\n")
Output:
business_addresses
businesses
license_codes
license_statuses
licenses
facility_types
risk_levels
facility_addresses
inspected_businesses
inspection_types
result_types
inspections
violation_types
violations
db.query() executes SQL strings and returns the results as a list of dictionaries
print(
*db.query("SELECT * FROM businesses WHERE legal_name LIKE 'z%' LIMIT 5;"), sep="\n"
)
Output:
{'account_number': 106, 'legal_name': 'Zaven, Inc.', 'dba': 'Zaven / Lepetit Paris', 'address_id': 6880}
{'account_number': 113, 'legal_name': 'Zanies Comedy Clubs, Inc.', 'dba': 'Zanies Comedy Club', 'address_id': 5702}
{'account_number': 122, 'legal_name': 'Ziemek Corporation, Inc.', 'dba': 'The Thirsty Tavern', 'address_id': 146144}
{'account_number': 1918, 'legal_name': 'Zimmies Inc #8', 'dba': 'Original Pancake House', 'address_id': 143541}
{'account_number': 3007, 'legal_name': 'Zikainan Nursing Home Inc', 'dba': 'All American Nursing Home', 'address_id': 155957}
When a connection is no longer needed, it will need to be manually closed.
db.close()
By default the database will be committed when db.close() is called.
This can be prevented by setting commit_on_close to False in either the Databased constructor or through the property db.commit_on_close.
db = Databased("chi.db", commit_on_close=False)
# or
db.commit_on_close = False
The database can always be committed manually with db.commit().
Using Databased with a context manager will call the close() method for you (and commit the database if commit_on_close is True)
with Databased("chi.db") as db:
print(f"{db.connected=}")
print(*db.get_columns("businesses"), sep="\n")
print(f"{db.connected=}")
Output:
db.connected=True
account_number
legal_name
dba
address_id
db.connected=False
with Databased("chi.db") as db:
db.create_table(
"inspectors",
"id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT",
"first_name TEXT",
"last_name TEXT",
"ward INTEGER",
)
db.insert(
"inspectors",
("first_name", "last_name", "ward"),
[("Billy", "Bob", 1), ("Jenna", "Jones", 33), ("Tiny", "Tim", 25)],
)
print(db.to_grid(db.select("inspectors")))
print()
# ---------------------------------------------------------
db.rename_table("inspectors", "employees")
db.add_column("employees", "title TEXT DEFAULT inspector")
print(db.to_grid(db.select("employees")))
print()
# ---------------------------------------------------------
db.drop_column("employees", "title")
db.rename_table("employees", "inspectors")
print(db.to_grid(db.select("inspectors")))
print()
db.drop_table("inspectors")
Output:

Moderately complex queries can be executed with db.select().
More advanced queries will need to be written out and executed directly with db.query().
Example using all available db.select() parameters:
with Databased("chi.db") as db:
print(
db.to_grid(
db.select(
table="inspections",
columns=[
"inspections.license_number",
"businesses.legal_name",
"result_types.id",
"result_types.description",
"business_addresses.ward",
"COUNT(*) AS num_inspections",
],
joins=[
"INNER JOIN result_types ON inspections.result_type_id = result_types.id",
"INNER JOIN licenses ON inspections.license_number = licenses.license_number",
"INNER JOIN businesses ON licenses.account_number = businesses.account_number",
"INNER JOIN business_addresses ON businesses.address_id = business_addresses.id",
],
where="business_addresses.ward IN (1, 10, 20, 40) OR result_types.id < 5",
group_by="inspections.license_number",
having="num_inspections > 10",
order_by="num_inspections DESC",
limit=5,
)
)
)
print("<==equivalent==>")
print(
db.to_grid(
db.query(
"""
SELECT
inspections.license_number, businesses.legal_name,
result_types.id, result_types.description,
business_addresses.ward, COUNT(*) as num_inspections
FROM inspections
INNER JOIN result_types ON inspections.result_type_id = result_types.id
INNER JOIN licenses ON inspections.license_number = licenses.license_number
INNER JOIN businesses ON licenses.account_number = businesses.account_number
INNER JOIN business_addresses ON businesses.address_id = business_addresses.id
WHERE business_addresses.ward IN (1, 10, 20, 40) OR result_types.id < 5
GROUP BY inspections.license_number
HAVING num_inspections > 10
ORDER BY num_inspections DESC
LIMIT 5;
"""
)
)

The customize command or the custom_shell script can be used to generate a template file in the current directory that subclasses DBManager.
This allows for project specific additional commands as well as modifications of available commands.
