A lightweight SQL Querying package.
Project description
BreezeBlocks is a query abstraction layer that takes advantage of some of the features of the Python language more than DBAPI 2.0 modules, but provides more lightweight result objects and more flexible querying than many ORMs for the language.
BreezeBlocks is currently a very-early stage product. More information will come as the codebase is developed further, but for now you can read through the overview of the the ideas behind BreezeBlocks.
Wanting to use a database via Python doesn’t imply wanting to manage that database via python.
There’s not always a 1:1 matchup of the fields in the output data and the fields in tables.
Information that is relevant to SQL is not always relevant in the same way in Python
These ideas are realized in the design of the package in these ways.
BreezeBlocks is focused on querying. It will likely grow to handle insertion, updating, and deletion. Operations at the row-level are within the scope of the project, but operations at the table level and above are not.
Query syntax does not revolve around tables. Querying is not a method on Table-like objects.
Tables do not need to be fully-defined in order to be used, just defined enough to contain all the structural information the application needs.
Data types and constraint information are not known on the python side.
