Query building for the postgresql prepared statements and asyncpg.

Lots of more powerful features, including full clause construction, multiple values, logic functions, query pretty-printing and different variable substitution - below is just a very quick summary. Please check the code and tests for examples.

Building Queries

Simple variable substitution:

from buildpg import render

render('select * from mytable where x=:foo and y=:bar', foo=123, bar='whatever')
>> 'select * from mytable where x=$1 and y=$2', [123, 'whatever']

Use of V to substitute constants:

from buildpg import V, render

render('select * from mytable where :col=:foo', col=V('x'), foo=456)
>> 'select * from mytable where x=$1', [456]

Complex logic:

from buildpg import V, funcs, render

where_logic = V('foo.bar') == 123
if spam_value:
   where_logic &= V('foo.spam') <= spam_value

if exclude_cake:
   where_logic &= funcs.not_(V('foo.cake').in_([1, 2, 3]))

render('select * from foo :where', where=where_logic)
>> 'select * from foo foo.bar = $1 AND foo.spam <= $2 AND not(foo.cake in $3)', [123, 123, ['x', 'y']]

Values usage:

from buildpg import Values, render

render('insert into the_table (:values__names) values :values', values=Values(a=123, b=456, c='hello'))
>> 'insert into the_table (a, b, c) values ($1, $2, $3)', [123, 456, 'hello']

With asyncpg

As a wrapper around asyncpg:

import asyncio
from buildpg import asyncpg

async def main():
   async with asyncpg.create_pool_b('postgres://postgres@localhost:5432/db') as pool:
       await pool.fetchval_b('select spam from mytable where x=:foo and y=:bar', foo=123, bar='whatever')
       >> 42

asyncio.run(main())

Both the pool and connections have *_b variants of all common query methods:

  • execute_b
  • executemany_b
  • fetch_b
  • fetchval_b
  • fetchrow_b
  • cursor_b
