DictMySQL is a MySQL query builder on the top of
PyMySQL <https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL>__. It allows convenient
database manipulation with Python dictionary.
DictMySQL simplifies and unifies the input/output of MySQL queries, by allowing passing values and conditions in dictionary into database. With DictCursor, you can even have a dict-in, dict-out mysql connector.
To install:
.. code:: bash
pip install dictmysql
Quick example:
.. code:: python
from dictmysql import DictMySQL
db = DictMySQL(db='occupation', host='127.0.0.1', user='root', passwd='')
db.select(table='jobs',
columns=['id','value'],
where={'$OR': [{'value': {'$LIKE': 'Artist%'}}, {'id': 10}]})
# SELECT `id`, `value` FROM `jobs` WHERE (`value` LIKE "Artist%") OR (`id` = 10);
With DictCursor:
.. code:: python
from dictmysql import DictMySQL, cursors
db = DictMySQL(db='occupation', host='127.0.0.1', user='root', passwd='',
cursorclass=cursors.DictCursor)
db.select(table='jobs',
columns=['id','value'],
limit=2)
# returns [{u'id': 1, u'value': u'Artist'}, {u'id': 2, u'value': u'Engineer'}]
