PostQL is a Python library and command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing PostgreSQL databases, executing queries, exporting data and interacting with PostgreSQL databases from the command line.
- Connect to PostgreSQL databases and execute SQL queries interactively via the CLI.
- Perform database management tasks such as creating, deleting databases, users, tables, etc.
- Execute SQL queries directly from Python code using the
Postgres
class. - Export query results to CSV, Excel, JSON, and Parquet formats.
- Upload exported files to Amazon S3 buckets.
You can install PostQL via pip:
pip install postql
To use the PostQL CLI, simply run postql
followed by the desired command. Here are some examples:
# Connect to a database and execute SQL queries interactively
postql connect -H localhost -u postgres -P password -d my_database
# Run query
my_database> Select * from my_table
# Exit the CLI
exit
from postql import Postgres
# Initialize the Postgres connection
db = Postgres(host="localhost", port="5432", user="postgres", password="password")
# Connect to the 'bookstore' database
db.connect(database="market_data")
# Create the 'books' table
db.create_table("books", {
"id": "SERIAL PRIMARY KEY",
"title": "VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL",
"author": "VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL",
"price": "DECIMAL(10, 2) NOT NULL",
"genre": "VARCHAR(255)"
})
# Create the 'orders' table
db.create_table("orders", {
"id": "SERIAL PRIMARY KEY",
"book_id": "INTEGER REFERENCES books(id)",
"quantity": "INTEGER NOT NULL",
"customer_name": "VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL",
"order_date": "DATE NOT NULL"
})
# Insert sample books
db.insert("books", {"title": "The Great Gatsby", "author": "F. Scott Fitzgerald", "price": 15.99, "genre": "Fiction"}).execute()
db.insert("books", {"title": "To Kill a Mockingbird", "author": "Harper Lee", "price": 12.99, "genre": "Fiction"}).execute()
# Insert a sample order
db.insert("orders", {"book_id": 1, "quantity": 2, "customer_name": "John Doe", "order_date": "2023-04-01"}).execute()
# Query all books
print("All books:")
db.select("books",["title"]).execute()
# Query all orders for a specific book
print("Orders for 'The Great Gatsby':")
db.select("orders").where({"book_id": 1}).execute()
# Update the price of a book
db.update("books").set({"price": 14.99}).where({"id": 1}).execute()
# Export books to a CSV file
db.select("books").to_csv("books.csv")
# Export orders to a CSV file
db.select("orders").to_csv("orders.csv")
# Disconnect from the database
db.disconnect()
