Basic Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: python

    import redshift_connector

    # Connects to Redshift cluster using AWS credentials
    conn = redshift_connector.connect(
        host='examplecluster.abc123xyz789.us-west-1.redshift.amazonaws.com',
        database='dev',
        user='awsuser',
        password='my_password'
     )

    cursor: redshift_connector.Cursor = conn.cursor()
    cursor.execute("create Temp table book(bookname varchar,author varchar)")
    cursor.executemany("insert into book (bookname, author) values (%s, %s)",
                        [
                            ('One Hundred Years of Solitude', 'Gabriel García Márquez'),
                            ('A Brief History of Time', 'Stephen Hawking')
                        ]
                      )
    cursor.execute("select * from book")

    result: tuple = cursor.fetchall()
    print(result)
    >> (['One Hundred Years of Solitude', 'Gabriel García Márquez'], ['A Brief History of Time', 'Stephen Hawking'])

Enabling autocommit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Following the DB-API specification, autocommit is off by default**. It can be turned on by using the autocommit property of the connection.

.. code-block:: py3

    # Make sure we're not in a transaction
    conn.rollback()
    conn.autocommit = True
    conn.run("VACUUM")
    conn.autocommit = False


Configuring paramstyle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paramstyle can be set on both a module and cursor level. When paramstyle is set on a module level e.g. ``redshift_connector.paramstyle = 'qmark'``, the user specified paramstyle is used for all subsequent cursors unless set on the cursor.
When paramstyle is set on the cursor e.g. ```cursor.paramstyle = 'qmark'`` the user specified paramstyle is only used for that cursor object.

.. code-block:: python

    # setting paramstyle to qmark on a module level
    redshift_connector.paramstyle = 'qmark'


    with redshift_connector.connect() as conn1:
        with conn1.cursor() as cursor1: # this cursor will use qmark paramstyle as it's been set on the module level
            pass

        with conn1.cursor() as cursor2:
            # setting paramstyle to numeric on the cursor level only this cursor will use numeric paramstyle
            cursor.paramstyle = 'numeric'

        with conn1.cursor() as cursor3: # this cursor will use qmark paramstyle as it's been set on the module level
            pass

     with redshift_connector.connect() as conn2:
        with conn2.cursor() as cursor1: # this cursor will use qmark paramstyle as it's been set on the module level
            pass


The module level default paramstyle used is ``format``. Valid values for ``paramstyle`` include ``qmark, numeric, named, format, pyformat``. The below example shows how to use various paramstyles after the paramstyle is set on the cursor.

When paramstyle is set to ``named`` or ``pyformat``, parameters must be passed as a Python dictionary to the ``execute()`` method. Other paramstyles require parameters to be passed as a Python tuple or list.

.. code-block:: python

    # qmark
    cursor.paramstyle = 'qmark'
    sql = 'insert into foo(bar, jar) VALUES(?, ?)'
    cursor.execute(sql, (1, "hello world"))

    # numeric
    cursor.paramstyle = 'numeric'
    sql = 'insert into foo(bar, jar) VALUES(:1, :2)'
    cursor.execute(sql, (1, "hello world"))

    # named
    cursor.paramstyle = 'named'
    sql = 'insert into foo(bar, jar) VALUES(:p1, :p2)'
    cursor.execute(sql, {"p1":1, "p2":"hello world"})

    # format
    cursor.paramstyle = 'format'
    sql = 'insert into foo(bar, jar) VALUES(%s, %s)'
    cursor.execute(sql, (1, "hello world"))

    # pyformat
    cursor.paramstyle = 'pyformat'
    sql = 'insert into foo(bar, jar) VALUES(%(bar)s, %(jar)s)'
    cursor.execute(sql, {"bar": 1, "jar": "hello world"})


Exception Handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``redshift_connector`` uses the guideline for exception handling specified in the `Python DB-API <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#exceptions>`_. For exception definitions, please see `redshift_connector/error.py <https://github.com/aws/amazon-redshift-python-driver/blob/master/redshift_connector/error.py>`_

Example using IAM Credentials
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IAM Credentials can be supplied directly to ``connect(...)`` using an AWS profile as shown below:

.. code-block:: python

    import redshift_connector

    # Connects to Redshift cluster using IAM credentials from default profile defined in ~/.aws/credentials
    conn = redshift_connector.connect(
        iam=True,
        database='dev',
        db_user='awsuser',
        password='',
        user='',
        cluster_identifier='examplecluster',
        profile='default'
     )

.. code-block:: bash

    # ~/.aws/credentials
    [default]
    aws_access_key_id="my_aws_access_key_id"
    aws_secret_access_key="my_aws_secret_access_key"
    aws_session_token="my_aws_session_token"

    # ~/.aws/config
    [default]
    region=us-west-2

If a region is not provided in `~/.aws/config` or you would like to override its value, `region` may be passed to ``connect(...)``.

Alternatively, IAM credentials can be supplied directly to ``connect(...)`` using AWS credentials as shown below:

.. code-block:: python

    import redshift_connector

    # Connects to Redshift cluster using IAM credentials from default profile defined in ~/.aws/credentials
    conn = redshift_connector.connect(
        iam=True,
        database='dev',
        db_user='awsuser',
        password='',
        user='',
        cluster_identifier='examplecluster',
        access_key_id="my_aws_access_key_id",
        secret_access_key="my_aws_secret_access_key",
        session_token="my_aws_session_token",
        region="us-east-2"
     )

Integration with pandas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Retrieving query results as a ``pandas.DataFrame``

.. code-block:: python

    import pandas
    cursor.execute("create Temp table book(bookname varchar,author varchar)")
    cursor.executemany("insert into book (bookname, author) values (%s, %s)",
                       [
                           ('One Hundred Years of Solitude', 'Gabriel García Márquez'),
                           ('A Brief History of Time', 'Stephen Hawking')

                       ])
    cursor.execute("select * from book")
    result: pandas.DataFrame = cursor.fetch_dataframe()
    print(result)
    >>                         bookname                 author
    >> 0  One Hundred Years of Solitude  Gabriel García Márquez
    >> 1        A Brief History of Time         Stephen Hawking


Insert data stored in a ``pandas.DataFrame`` into an Amazon Redshift table

.. code-block:: python

    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd

    df = pd.DataFrame(
        np.array(
            [
                ["One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Gabriel García Márquez"],
                ["A Brief History of Time", "Stephen Hawking"],
            ]
        ),
        columns=["bookname", "author‎"],
    )
    with conn.cursor() as cursor:
        cursor.write_dataframe(df, "book")
        cursor.execute("select * from book; ")
        result = cursor.fetchall()


Integration with numpy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

    import numpy
    cursor.execute("select * from book")

    result: numpy.ndarray = cursor.fetch_numpy_array()
    print(result)
    >> [['One Hundred Years of Solitude' 'Gabriel García Márquez']
    >>  ['A Brief History of Time' 'Stephen Hawking']]

Query using functions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: python

    cursor.execute("SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP")
    print(cursor.fetchone())
    >> [datetime.datetime(2020, 10, 26, 23, 3, 54, 756497, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)]

``redshift_connector`` uses logging for providing detailed error messages regarding IdP authentication. A do-nothing handler is enabled by default as to prevent logs from being output to ``sys.stderr``.

Enable logging in your application to view logs output by ``redshift_connector`` as described in
the `documentation for Python logging module <https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#/>`_.
