directly import and convert their relational data into a Featuretools

Project description

Automated creation of EntitySets from relational data stored in SQL databases

PyPI Version Documentation Status Anaconda Version StackOverflow PyPI Downloads


The featuretools_sql library allows you to directly import your relational data into Featuretools to run automated feature engineering.

Installation

Install with pip:

python -m pip install "featuretools[sql]"

or from the Conda-forge channel on conda:

conda install -c conda-forge featuretools

Example

Simply pass in the database connection information:

from featuretools_sql.connector import DBConnector

sql_connector = DBConnector(
    system_name = "mysql",
    host = "127.0.0.1:3306"
    user = "root",
    password = "password",
    database = "db"
) 
entityset = sql_connector.get_entityset()

The entityset object will have the relationships and DataFrames already populated, allowing you to call featuretools.DFS and run automated feature generation.

import featuretools as ft

feature_defs, feature_matrix = ft.dfs(
    entityset=entityset,
    target_entity='target_table_name'
)

We currently supports importing data from the following relational database systems:

  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Snowflake
