Overview

Sqlitis is a tool to convert plain SQL queries to SQLAlchemy expressions. It is usable from the command line or as a library.

Sqlitis converts to the SQLAlchemy expression language. It does not support the SQLAlchemy ORM.

$ pip install sqlitis

Examples

Turning a select query into a sqlachemy expression:

$ sqlitis "select foo.name, bar.value from foo join bar"
select([foo.c.name, bar.c.value]).select_from(foo.join(bar))

Converting a join:

$ sqlitis "foo join bar on foo.id = bar.foo_id and (foo.val < 100 or bar.val < 100)"
foo.join(bar, and_(foo.c.id == bar.c.foo_id, or_(foo.c.val < 100, bar.c.val < 100)))

Running tests

Use tox to run the tests.

$ pip install tox

### Run everything
$ tox

### Run the unit/functional tests
$ tox -e py36

### Run style checks
$ tox -e flake8 black

The code is formatted using black.

### Reformat the code with black
$ make format

### Check if black needs to be run. This does not reformat.
$ tox -e black

There are three types of tests:

• Unit tests of the internal model classes
• Unit tests of the core to_sqla function
• Functional tests that execute the generated SQLAlchemy expressions against a sqlite database
• Functional tests of the CLI

These tests are parameterized (data driven) using data from test/*.yaml

SQL Support Checklist

• Select

  • Star: SELECT * FROM foo

  • Multiple columns: SELECT a, b, c FROM foo

  • Qualified column names: SELECT foo.a, foo.b FROM foo

  • Column aliases: SELECT foo.id AS foo_id, foo.name AS foo_name from FOO

  • Joins

    • Inner Join:

      • SELECT * FROM foo JOIN bar
      • SELECT * FROM foo INNER JOIN bar

    • Cross Joins

      • SELECT * FROM foo, bar
      • SELECT * FROM foo CROSS JOIN bar

    • Left/Right Joins

    • Outer Joins

  • On Clauses: SELECT foo.a, bar.b FROM foo JOIN bar ON foo.id = bar.foo_id

  • Conjuctions (AND/OR): SELECT foo.a, bar.b FROM foo join bar ON foo.id = bar.foo_id AND foo.val > 1

  • Select from subquery: SELECT id FROM (SELECT * FROM foo)

  • Where: SELECT id FROM foo WHERE id = 123

  • Between: SELECT a FROM foo WHERE foo.val BETWEEN 1 AND 20

  • Select distinct: SELECT DISTINCT a FROM foo

  • Aggregate functions (SUM, AVG, COUNT, MIN, MAX): SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo

  • Group by: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo GROUP BY column

  • Like

  • Limit/offset

  • Order by

• Insert

• Update

• Delete
