kedro.io.SQLTableDataSet

class kedro.io.SQLTableDataSet(table_name, credentials, load_args=None, save_args=None)[source]

Bases: kedro.io.core.AbstractDataSet

SQLTableDataSet loads data from a SQL table and saves a pandas dataframe to a table. It uses pandas.DataFrame internally, so it supports all allowed pandas options on read_sql_table and to_sql methods. However, it modifies the save parameters and stores the data with no index. This is designed to make load and save methods symmetric.

Example:

from kedro.io import SQLTableDataSet
import pandas as pd

data = pd.DataFrame({'col1': [1, 2], 'col2': [4, 5],
                     'col3': [5, 6]})
table_name="table_a"
credentials = {
         con: "postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test"
}
data_set = SQLTableDataSet(table_name=table_name,
                           credentials=credentials)

data_set.save(data)
reloaded = data_set.load()

assert data.equals(reloaded)

Methods

SQLTableDataSet.__init__(table_name, credentials) Creates a new SQLTableDataSet.
SQLTableDataSet.exists() Checks whether a data set’s output already exists by calling the provided _exists() method.
SQLTableDataSet.from_config(name, config[, …]) Create a data set instance using the configuration provided.
SQLTableDataSet.load() Loads data by delegation to the provided load method.
SQLTableDataSet.release() Release any cached data.
SQLTableDataSet.save(data) Saves data by delegation to the provided save method.
__init__(table_name, credentials, load_args=None, save_args=None)[source]

Creates a new SQLTableDataSet.

Parameters:
  • table_name (str) – The table name to load or save data to. It overwrites name in save_args and table_name parameters in load_args.
  • credentials (Dict[str, Any]) – A dictionary with a SQLAlchemy connection string. Users are supposed to provide the connection string ‘con’ through credentials. It overwrites con parameter in load_args and save_args in case it is provided.
  • load_args (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Provided to underlying pandas read_sql_table function along with the connection string. To find all supported arguments, see here: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.read_sql_table.html
  • save_args (Optional[Dict[str, Any]]) – Provided to underlying pandas to_sql function along with the connection string. To find all supported arguments, see here: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.to_sql.html It has index=False in the default parameters.
Raises:

DataSetError – When either table_name or con is empty.

Return type:

None

exists()

Checks whether a data set’s output already exists by calling the provided _exists() method.

Return type:bool
Returns:Flag indicating whether the output already exists.
Raises:DataSetError – when underlying exists method raises error.
classmethod from_config(name, config, load_version=None, save_version=None)

Create a data set instance using the configuration provided.

Parameters:
  • name (str) – Data set name.
  • config (Dict[str, Any]) – Data set config dictionary.
  • load_version (Optional[str]) – Version string to be used for load operation if the data set is versioned. Has no effect on the data set if versioning was not enabled.
  • save_version (Optional[str]) – Version string to be used for save operation if the data set is versioned. Has no effect on the data set if versioning was not enabled.
Return type:

AbstractDataSet

Returns:

An instance of an AbstractDataSet subclass.

Raises:

DataSetError – When the function fails to create the data set from its config.

load()

Loads data by delegation to the provided load method.

Return type:Any
Returns:Data returned by the provided load method.
Raises:DataSetError – When underlying load method raises error.
release()

Release any cached data.

Raises:DataSetError – when underlying exists method raises error.
Return type:bool
save(data)

Saves data by delegation to the provided save method.

Parameters:data (Any) – the value to be saved by provided save method.
Raises:DataSetError – when underlying save method raises error.
Return type:None
