locopy.database module

Database Module.

class locopy.database.Database(dbapi, config_yaml=None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: object

Base class for all DBAPI 2 database connectors which will inherit this functionality.

The Database class will manage connections and handle executing queries. Most of the functionality should work out of the box for classes which inherit minus the abstract method for connect which may vary across databases.

Parameters:
  • dbapi (DBAPI 2 module, optional) – A database adapter which is Python DB API 2.0 compliant (psycopg2, pg8000, etc.)

  • config_yaml (str, optional) – String representing the YAML file location of the database connection keyword arguments. It is worth noting that this should only contain valid arguments for the database connector you plan on using. It will throw an exception if something is passed through which isn’t valid.

  • **kwargs – Database connection keyword arguments.

execute(sql, commit=True, params=(), many=False, verbose=True)[source]

Execute some sql against the connection.

Parameters:
  • sql (str) – SQL to run against the connection. Could be one or multiple statements.
