The missing SQLAlchemy ORM interface.

Introduction

So what exactly is sqlservice and what does “the missing SQLAlchemy ORM interface” even mean? SQLAlchemy is a fantastic library and features a superb ORM layer. However, one thing SQLAlchemy lacks is a unified interface for easily interacting with your database through your ORM models. This is where sqlservice comes in. It’s interface layer on top of SQLAlchemy’s session manager and ORM layer that provides a single point to manage your database connection/session, create/reflect/drop your database objects, and easily persist/destroy model objects.

Features

This library is meant to enhance your usage of SQLAlchemy. SQLAlchemy is great and this library tries to build upon that by providing useful abstractions on top of it.

  • Database client that helps manage an ORM scoped session.

  • Base class for a declarative ORM Model that makes updating model columns and relationships easier and converting to a dictionary a breeze.

  • Decorator-based event register for SQLAlchemy ORM events that can be used at the model class level. No need to register the event handler outside of the class definition.

  • An application-side nestable transaction context-manager that helps implement pseudo-subtransactions for those that want implicit transaction demarcation, i.e. session autocommit, without using session subtransactions.

  • And more!

Requirements

Quickstart

First, install using pip:

pip3 install sqlservice

Then, define some ORM models:

import re

from sqlalchemy import Column, ForeignKey, orm, types

from sqlservice import declarative_base, event


Model = declarative_base()

class User(Model):
    __tablename__ = 'user'

    id = Column(types.Integer(), primary_key=True)
    name = Column(types.String(100))
    email = Column(types.String(100))
    phone = Column(types.String(10))

    roles = orm.relation('UserRole')

    @event.on_set('phone', retval=True)
    def on_set_phone(self, value, oldvalue, initator):
        # Strip non-numeric characters from phone number.
        return re.sub('[^0-9]', '', value)

class UserRole(Model):
    __tablename__ = 'user_role'

    id = Column(types.Integer(), primary_key=True)
    user_id = Column(types.Integer(), ForeignKey('user.id'), nullable=False)
    role = Column(types.String(25), nullable=False)

Next, configure the database client:

from sqlservice import SQLClient

config = {
    'SQL_DATABASE_URI': 'sqlite:///db.sql',
    'SQL_ISOLATION_LEVEL': 'SERIALIZABLE',
    'SQL_ECHO': True,
    'SQL_ECHO_POOL': False,
    'SQL_CONVERT_UNICODE': True,
    'SQL_POOL_SIZE': 5,
    'SQL_POOL_TIMEOUT': 30,
    'SQL_POOL_RECYCLE': 3600,
    'SQL_MAX_OVERFLOW': 10,
    'SQL_AUTOCOMMIT': False,
    'SQL_AUTOFLUSH': True,
    'SQL_EXPIRE_ON_COMMIT': True
}

db = SQLClient(config, model_class=Model)

Prepare the database by creating all tables:

db.create_all()

Finally (whew!), start interacting with the database.

Insert a new record in the database:

data = {'name': 'Jenny', 'email': 'jenny@example.com', 'phone': '555-867-5309'}
user = db.User.save(data)

Fetch records:

assert user is db.User.get(data.id)
assert user is db.User.find_one(id=user.id)
assert user is db.User.find(User.id == user.id)[0]

Serialize to a dict:

assert user.to_dict() == {'id': 1,
                          'name': 'Jenny',
                          'email': 'jenny@example.com',
                          'phone': '5558675309'}

assert dict(user) == user.to_dict()

Update the record and save:

user.phone = '222-867-5309'
db.User.save(user)

Upsert on primary key automatically:

assert user is db.User({'id': 1,
                        'name': 'Jenny',
                        'email': 'jenny@example.com',
                        'phone': '5558675309'})

Destroy the model record:

db.User.destroy(user)
# OR db.User.destroy([user])
# OR db.User.destroy(user.id)
# OR db.User.destroy([user.id])
# OR db.User.destroy(dict(user))
# OR db.User.destroy([dict(user)])

  • Rename SQLClient.shutdown() to disconnect() but keep shutdown() as a deprecated alias.

  • Deprecate SQLClient.shutdown(). Use SQLClient.disconnect() instead. Will be removed in v1.

  • Deprecate SQLQuery methods below. Use pydash library directly or re-implement in subclass of SQLQuery and pass to SQLClient() via query_class argument. Methods will be removed in v1:

    • SQLQuery.chain()

    • SQLQuery.pluck()

    • SQLQuery.key_by()

    • SQLQuery.map()

    • SQLQuery.reduce()

    • SQLQuery.reduce_right()

    • SQLQuery.stack_by()

v0.22.1 (2018-07-15)

  • Support Python 3.7.

v0.22.0 (2018-04-12)

  • Change default behavior of SQLClient.transaction() to not override the current session’s autoflush setting (use SQLClient.transaction(autoflush=True) instead. (breaking change)

  • Add boolean autoflush option to SQLClient.transaction() to set session’s autoflush value for the duration of the transaction.

  • Add new sqlservice.event decorators:

    • on_init_scalar

    • on_init_collection

    • on_modified

    • on_bulk_replace

    • on_dispose_collection

v0.21.0 (2018-04-02)

  • Add SQLClient.ping() method that performs a basic connection check.

v0.20.0 (2018-03-20)

  • Add ModelBase.class_registry() that returns the declarative class registry from declarative metadata. Roughly equivalent to ModelBase._decl_class_registry but with _sa_* keys removed.

  • Pass model instance as third optional argument to ModelBase.__dict_args__['adapters'] handlers.

  • Expose default dict adapater as sqlservice.model.default_dict_adapter.

v0.19.0 (2018-03-19)

  • Support model class names as valid keys in ModelBase.__dict_args__['adapaters']. Works similar to string namesused in sqlalchemy.orm.relation.

  • Support model class orm descriptors (e.g. columns, relationships) as valid keys in ModelBase.__dict_args__['adapaters'].

v0.18.0 (2018-03-12)

  • Remove readonly argument from SQLClient.transaction and replace with separate commit and rollback. (breaking change)

    • The default is commit=True and rollback=False. This behavior mirrors the previous behavior.

    • When rollback=True, the commit argument is ignored and the top-level transaction is always rolled back. This is like readonly=True in version 0.17.0.

    • When commit=False and rollback=False, the “transaction” isn’t finalized and is left open. This is like readonly=True in versions <=0.16.1.

v0.17.0 (2018-03-12)

  • Rollback instead of commit in a readonly transaction issued by SQLClient.transaction. (potential breaking change)

    • There’s a potential breaking change for the case where there’s nested a write transaction under a readonly transaction. Previously, the write transaction would be committed when the readonly transaction finalized since commit was being called instead of rollback. However with this change, the settings of the first transaction before any nesting will now determine whether the entire transaction is committed or rollbacked.

v0.16.1 (2018-02-26)

  • Use repr(self.url) in SQLClient.__repr__() instead of str() to mask connection password if provided.

v0.16.0 (2018-02-21)

  • Support a database URI string as the configuration value for SQLClient. For example, previously had to do SQLClient({'SQL_DATABASE_URI': '<db_uri>'}) but now can do SQLClient('<db_uri>').

  • Add repr() support to SQLClient.

v0.15.0 (2018-02-13)

  • Add SQL_POOL_PRE_PING config option to SQLClient that sets pool_pre_ping argument to engine. Requires SQLAlchemy >= 1.2. Thanks dsully!

v0.14.2 (2017-10-17)

  • Fix Query.search() so that dict filter-by criteria will be applied to the base model class of the query if it’s set (i.e. make db.query(ModelA).join(ModelB).search({'a_only_field': 'foo'}) work so that {'a_only_field': 'foo'} is filtered on ModelA.a_only_field instead of ModelB). This also applies to Query.find() and Query.find_one() which use search() internally.

v0.14.1 (2017-09-09)

  • Fix typo in SQL_ENCODING config option mapping to SQLAlchemy parameter. Thanks dsully!

v0.14.0 (2017-08-03)

  • Make declarative_base pass extra keyword arguments to sqlalchemy.ext.declarative.declarative_base.

  • Remove ModelBase.metaclass and ModelBase.metadata hooks for hoisting those values to declarative_base(). Instead, pass optional metadata and metaclass arguments directly to declarative_base. (breaking change)

  • Replace broken declarative_base decorator usage with new decorator-only function, as_declarative. Previously, @declarative_base only worked as a decorator when not “called” (i.e. @declarative_base worked but @declarative_base(...) failed).

v0.13.0 (2017-07-11)

  • Add ModelBase.__dict_args__ attribute for providing arguments to ModelBase.to_dict.

  • Add adapters option to ModelBase.__dict_args__ for mapping model value types to custom serializatoin handlers during ModelBase.to_dict() call.

v0.12.1 (2017-04-04)

  • Bump minimum requirement for pydash to v4.0.1.

  • Revert removal of Query.pluck but now pluck works with a deep path and path list (e.g. ['a', 'b', 0, 'c'] to get 'value' in {'a': {'b': [{'c': 'value'}]}} which is something that Query.map doesn’t support.

v0.12.0 (2017-04-03)

  • Bump minimum requirement for pydash to v4.0.0. (breaking change)

  • Remove Query.pluck in favor or Query.map since map can do everything pluck could. (breaking change)

  • Rename Query.index_by to Query.key_by. (breaking change)

  • Rename callback argument to iteratee for Query methods:

    • key_by

    • stack_by

    • map

    • reduce

    • reduce_right

v0.11.0 (2017-03-10)

  • Make SQLClient.save() update the declarative model registry whenever an model class isn’t in it. This allows saving to work when a SQLClient instance was created before models have been imported yet.

  • Make SQLClient.expunge() support multiple instances.

  • Make SQLClient.save() and SQLQuery.save() handle saving empty dictionaries.

v0.10.0 (2017-02-13)

  • Add engine_options argument to SQLClient() to provide additional engine options beyond what is supported by the config argument.

  • Add SQLClient.bulk_insert for performing an INSERT with a multi-row VALUES clause.

  • Add SQLClient.bulk_insert_many for performing an executemany() DBAPI call.

  • Add additional SQLClient.session proxy properties on SQLClient.<proxy>:

    • bulk_insert_mappings

    • bulk_save_objects

    • bulk_update_mappings

    • is_active

    • is_modified

    • no_autoflush

    • preapre

  • Store SQLClient.models as a static dict instead of computed property but recompute if an attribute error is detected for SQLClient.<Model> to handle the case of a late model class import.

  • Fix handling of duplicate base class names during SQLClient.models creation for model classes that are defined in different submodules. Previously, duplicate model class names prevented those models from being saved via SQLClient.save().

v0.9.1 (2017-01-12)

  • Fix handling of scopefunc option in SQLClient.create_session.

v0.9.0 (2017-01-10)

  • Add session_class argument to SQLClient() to override the default session class used by the session maker.

  • Add session_options argument to SQLClient() to provide additional session options beyond what is supported by the config argument.

v0.8.0 (2016-12-09)

  • Rename sqlservice.Query to SQLQuery. (breaking change)

  • Remove sqlservice.SQLService class in favor of utilizing SQLQuery for the save and destroy methods for a model class. (breaking change)

  • Add SQLQuery.save().

  • Add SQLQuery.destroy().

  • Add SQLQuery.model_class property.

  • Replace service_class argument with query_class in SQLClient.__init__(). (breaking change)

  • Remove SQLClient.services. (breaking change)

  • When a model class name is used for attribute access on a SQLClient instance, return an instance of SQLQuery(ModelClass) instead of SQLService(ModelClass). (breaking change)

v0.7.2 (2016-11-29)

  • Fix passing of synchronize_session argument in SQLService.destroy and SQLClient.destroy. Argument was mistakenly not being used when calling underlying delete method.

v0.7.1 (2016-11-04)

  • Add additional database session proxy attributes to SQLClient:

    • SQLClient.scalar -> SQLClient.session.scalar

    • SQLClient.invalidate -> SQLClient.session.invalidate

    • SQLClient.expire -> SQLClient.session.expire

    • SQLClient.expire_all -> SQLClient.session.expire_all

    • SQLClient.expunge -> SQLClient.session.expunge

    • SQLClient.expunge_all -> SQLClient.session.expunge_all

    • SQLClient.prune -> SQLClient.session.prune

  • Fix compatibility issue with pydash v3.4.7.

v0.7.0 (2016-10-28)

  • Add core.make_identity factory function for easily creating basic identity functions from a list of model column objects that can be used with save().

  • Import core.save, core.destroy, core.transaction, and core.make_identity into make package namespace.

v0.6.3 (2016-10-17)

  • Fix model instance merging in core.save when providing a custom identity function.

v0.6.2 (2016-10-17)

  • Expose identity argument in SQLClient.save and SQLService.save.

v0.6.1 (2016-10-17)

  • Fix bug where the models variable was mistakenly redefined during loop iteration in core.save.

v0.6.0 (2016-10-17)

  • Add identity argument to save method to allow a custom identity function to support upserting on something other than just the primary key values.

  • Make Query entity methods entities, join_entities, and all_entities return entity objects instead of model classes. (breaking change)

  • Add Query methods model_classes, join_model_classes, and all_model_classes return the model classes belonging to a query.

v0.5.1 (2016-09-28)

  • Fix issue where calling <Model>.update(data) did not correctly update a relationship field when both <Model>.<relationship-column> and data[<relationship-column>] were both instances of a model class.

v0.5.0 (2016-09-20)

  • Allow Service.find_one, Service.find, and Query.search to accept a list of lists as the criterion argument.

  • Rename ModelBase metaclass class attribute from ModelBase.Meta to ModelBase.metaclass. (breaking change)

  • Add support for defining the metadata object on ModelBase.metadata and having it used when calling declarative_base.

  • Add metadata and metaclass arguments to declarative_base that taken precedence over the corresponding class attributes set on the passed in declarative base type.

  • Rename Model argument/attribute in SQLClient to __init__ to model_class. (breaking change)

  • Remove Query.top method. (breaking change)

  • Proxy SQLService.__getattr__ to getattr(SQLService.query(), attr) so that SQLService now acts as a proxy to a query instance that uses its model_class as the primary query entity.

  • Move SQLService.find and SQLService.find_one to Query.

  • Improve docs.

v0.4.3 (2016-07-11)

  • Fix issue where updating nested relationship values can lead to conflicting state assertion error in SQLAlchemy’s identity map.

    • index_by: Converts Query.all() to a dict of models indexed by callback (pydash.index_by)

    • stack_by: Converts Query.all() to a dict of lists of models indexed by callback (pydash.group_by)

    • map: Maps Query.all() to a callback (pydash.map_)

    • model_classes: Returns list of model classes used to during Query creation.

    • joined_model_classes: Returns list of joined model classes of Query.

    • all_model_classes: Returns Query.model_classes + Query.joined_model_classes.

  • Remove methods from SQLService class: (breaking change)

    • query_one
