1. CONNECT TO POSTGRESQL With python script

2. psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python_ programming language. This is version 2, a complete rewrite of the original code to provide new-style classes for connection and cursor objects and other sweet candies. Homepage: http://initd.org/projects/psycopg2 3. PyGreSQL PostgreSQL module for Python PyGreSQL is an open-source Python module that interfaces to a PostgreSQL database. It embeds the PostgreSQL query library to allow easy use of the powerful PostgreSQL features from a Python script. 4. Python version 2.5 or 2.6 or 2.7 PostGreSQL 9.1 or higher 5. Linux Look for a package such as python-psycopg2 sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2 - to install the package with all its dependencies. Windows http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/ http://initd.org/psycopg/ 6. Binary(...) Binary(buffer) -> new binary object Build an object capable to hold a binary string value. Date(...) - Date(year, month, day) -> new date Build an object holding a date value. Time(...) - Time(hour, minutes, seconds, tzinfo=None) > new time Build an object holding a time value. Timestamp(...) - Timestamp(year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds, tzinfo=None) - > new timestamp Build an object holding a timestamp value 7. Create a new database connection and returns a new connection instance. connect(dsn=None, database=None, user=None, password=None, host=No ne, port=None, connection_factory=None, cursor_factory=None, async=Fal se). Parameters: Using the *connection_factory* parameter a different class or connections factory can be specified. It should be a callable object taking a dsn argument. Using the *cursor_factory* parameter, a new default cursor factory will be used by cursor(). Using *async*=True an asynchronous connection will be created. 8. It allows to: create new cursors using the cursor() method to execute database commands and queries, commit() - The changes are committed to the database. rollback() In case of an error, we roll back any possible changes to our database table. 9. The class cursor allows interaction with the database: send commands to the database using methods such as execute() and executemany(), retrieve data from the database by iteration or using methods such as fetchone(), fetchmany(), fetchall(). cur.description to get metadata copy-to to copy db tables to a file copy-from to copy files to a db scrollable() mogrify() 10. import psycopg2 Connect to an existing database conn=psycopg2.connect("dbname=test user=postgres") - as a libpq connection string conn=psycopg2.connect(database=test user=postgres") - as a set of keyword arguments Open a cursor to perform database operations cur = conn.cursor() 11. Psycopg cursor usually fetches all the record from database during a query, usually which is a large dataset to be handled in the client side, hence to do controlled transfer of data to the client,we use server side cursors. Psycopg wraps the database server side cursor in named cursors. A named cursor is created using the cursor() method specifying the name parameter. To move in the dataset we use scroll() method and scrollable() method to move backward as well 12. Make the changes to the database persistent conn.commit() Close communication with the database cur.close() conn.close() 13. connect_test.py check_version.py Form.py 14. CRUD 15. cur.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tablename") cur.execute("CREATE TABLE tablename (id serial PRIMARY KEY, num integer, data varchar)) cur.executemany() ??????? Create and drop table 16. cur.execute("SELECT * FROM tablename") cur.execute("INSERT INTO tablename (num, data) VALUES (%s, %s)", ... (100, apple")) insert insertmany 17. Obtain data as Python objects cur.fetchone(),cur.fetchall(),cur.fetchmany(5) fetchone fetchall 18. Always be a %s, even if a different placeholder (such as a %d for integers or %f for floats) may look more appropriate: cur.execute("INSERT INTO tablename VALUES (%d)", (42,)) # WRONG cur.execute("INSERT INTO tablenameVALUES (%s)", (42,)) # correct Named arguments are supported too using %(name)s placeholders. cur.execute( """INSERT INTO tablename (an_int, a_date, another_date, a_string) VALUES (%(int)s, %(date)s, %(date)s, %(str)s);""", {'int': 10, 'str': "O'Reilly", 'date': datetime.date(2005, 11, 18)}) 19. The Python string operator % is not used: the execute() method accepts a tuple or dictionary of values as second parameter. For positional variables binding, the second argument must always be a sequence, even if it contains a single variable: cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)", "bar") # WRONG cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)", ("bar")) # WRONG cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)", ("bar",)) # correct cur.execute("INSERT INTO foo VALUES (%s)", ["bar"]) # correct 20. Python PostgreSQL None NULL Bool Bool Float Real,double Int,long Smallint,integer,bigint Decimal Numeric Str Varchar Date Date Datetime Timestamp List array Many standard Python types are adapted into SQL and returned as Python objects when a query is executed. Psycopg casts Python variables to SQL literals by type. 21. cur.execute("UPDATE tablename SET price=50000 WHERE id1") update delete 22. cur.execute("UPDATE tablename SET price=%s WHERE id=%s", (60000, 1)) cur.execute("SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE id=%(id)s", {'id': 4 } ) 23.
