Tasks for querying a database with SQLAlchemy
Classes
SqlAlchemyConnector
Bases: CredentialsBlock
, DatabaseBlock
Block used to manage authentication with a database.
Upon instantiating, an engine is created and maintained for the life of the object until the close method is called.
It is recommended to use this block as a context manager, which will automatically close the engine and its connections when the context is exited.
It is also recommended that this block is loaded and consumed within a single task or flow because if the block is passed across separate tasks and flows, the state of the block's connection and cursor could be lost.
Attributes:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
connection_info |
Union[ConnectionComponents, AnyUrl]
|
SQLAlchemy URL to create the engine; either create from components or create from a string. |
connect_args |
Optional[Dict[str, Any]]
|
The options which will be passed directly to the DBAPI's connect() method as additional keyword arguments. |
fetch_size |
int
|
The number of rows to fetch at a time. |
Example
Load stored database credentials and use in context manager:
from prefect_sqlalchemy import SqlAlchemyConnector
database_block = SqlAlchemyConnector.load("BLOCK_NAME")
with database_block:
...
Create table named customers and insert values; then fetch the first 10 rows.
from prefect_sqlalchemy import (
SqlAlchemyConnector, SyncDriver, ConnectionComponents
)
with SqlAlchemyConnector(
connection_info=ConnectionComponents(
driver=SyncDriver.SQLITE_PYSQLITE,
database="prefect.db"
)
) as database:
database.execute(
"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS customers (name varchar, address varchar);",
)
for i in range(1, 42):
database.execute(
"INSERT INTO customers (name, address) VALUES (:name, :address);",
parameters={"name": "Marvin", "address": f"Highway {i}"},
)
results = database.fetch_many(
"SELECT * FROM customers WHERE name = :name;",
parameters={"name": "Marvin"},
size=10
)
print(results)

from prefect_sqlalchemy import SqlAlchemyConnector
sqlalchemy_connector = SqlAlchemyConnector.load("BLOCK_NAME")
async with sqlalchemy_connector.get_connection(begin=False) as connection:
asyncio.run(connection.execute("SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1;"))

get_engine
Returns an authenticated engine that can be used to query from databases.
If an existing engine exists, return that one.
Returns:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Union[Engine, AsyncEngine]
|
The authenticated SQLAlchemy Engine / AsyncEngine. |
Examples:
Create an asynchronous engine to PostgreSQL using URL params.
from prefect import flow
from prefect_sqlalchemy import (
SqlAlchemyConnector, ConnectionComponents, AsyncDriver
)
@flow
def sqlalchemy_credentials_flow():
sqlalchemy_credentials = SqlAlchemyConnector(
connection_info=ConnectionComponents(
driver=AsyncDriver.POSTGRESQL_ASYNCPG,
username="prefect",
password="prefect_password",
database="postgres"
)
)
print(sqlalchemy_credentials.get_engine())
sqlalchemy_credentials_flow()
Create a synchronous engine to Snowflake using the url
kwarg.
from prefect import flow
from prefect_sqlalchemy import SqlAlchemyConnector, AsyncDriver
@flow
def sqlalchemy_credentials_flow():
url = (
"snowflake://<user_login_name>:<password>"
"@<account_identifier>/<database_name>"
"?warehouse=<warehouse_name>"
)
sqlalchemy_credentials = SqlAlchemyConnector(url=url)
print(sqlalchemy_credentials.get_engine())

reset_async_connections
async
Tries to close all opened connections and their results.
Examples:
Resets connections so fetch_*
methods return new results.
import asyncio
from prefect_sqlalchemy import SqlAlchemyConnector
async def example_run():
async with SqlAlchemyConnector.load("MY_BLOCK") as database:
results = await database.fetch_one("SELECT * FROM customers")
await database.reset_async_connections()
results = await database.fetch_one("SELECT * FROM customers")
asyncio.run(example_run())

Functions
sqlalchemy_execute

statement |
str
|
The statement to execute against the database. |
required |
sqlalchemy_credentials |
DatabaseCredentials
|
The credentials to use to authenticate. |
required |
params |
Optional[Union[Tuple[Any], Dict[str, Any]]]
|
The params to replace the placeholders in the query. |
