Python. Easy integration with `pandas <https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas>`_ and `numpy <https://github.com/numpy/numpy>`_, as well as support for numerous Amazon Redshift specific features help you get the most out of your data

Supported Amazon Redshift features include:

- IAM authentication
- Identity provider (IdP) authentication
- Redshift specific data types


This pure Python connector implements `Python Database API Specification 2.0 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/>`_.

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)]

Logging
~~~~~~~~~~~~
``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#/>`_.

Client Transfer Protocol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

``redshift_connector`` requests the Amazon Redshift server use the  highest transfer protocol version supported. As of v2.0.879 binary transfer protocol is requested by default. If necessary, the requested transfer protocol can be modified via the ``client_protocol_version`` parameter of ``redshift_connector.connect(...)``. Please see the Connection Parameters table for more details.
