158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

+ Installation

+ -------------
10
+
11

16
+
17
+ What's rabaDB?
18
+ --------------
19
+
20
+ rabaDB is a lightweight, borderline NoSQL, uncomplicated, ORM on top of sqlite3.
21
+
22
+ Basically it means:
23
+
24
+ * *Uncomplicated syntax*
25
+ * *No SQL knowledge needed*: supports queries by example
26
+ * *You can still use SQL* if you want
27
+ * *Lazy and Optimized*: objects are only fully loaded if you need them to be
28
+ * *No dependencies*: super easy installation
29
+ * *Somewhat Schemaless*: you can modify field definitions whenever you want and it will automatically adapt to the new schema
30
+
31
+ Can it be used for "big projects"?
32
+ ----------------------------------
33
+
34
+ rabaDB is the backend behind pyGeno_, a python package for genomics and proteomics where it is typically used to store
35
+ whole genomes annonations, along with huge sets of polymorphisms: millions of entries. and it's performing really well.
36
+
37
+ .. _pyGeno: https://github.com/tariqdaouda/pyGeno
38
+
39
+ 99% of what you need to know in one Example
40
+ --------------------------------------------
41
+
42
+ .. code:: python
43
+
44
+ #The initialisation
45
+ from rabaDB.rabaSetup import *
46
+ RabaConfiguration('test_namespace', './dbTest_BasicExample.db')
47
+ import rabaDB.Raba as R
48
+ import rabaDB.fields as rf
49
+
50
+ class Human(R.Raba) :
51
+ _raba_namespace = 'test_namespace'
52
+
53
+ #Everything that is not a raba object is primitive
54
+ name = rf.Primitive()
55
+ age = rf.Primitive()
56
+ city = rf.Primitive()
57
+
58
+ #Only Cars can fit into this relation
59
+ cars = rf.Relation('Car')
60
+
61
+ #best friend can only be a human
62
+ bestFriend = rf.RabaObject('Human')
63
+
64
+ def __init__(self) :
65
+ pass
66
+
67
+ class Car(R.Raba) :
68
+ _raba_namespace = 'test_namespace'
69
+
70
+ number = rf.Primitive()
71
+ def __init__(self) :
72
+ pass
73
+
74
+ if __name__ == '__main__':
75
+ georges = Human()
76
+ georges.name = 'Georges'
77
+ for i in range(10) :
78
+ car = Car()
79
+ car.number = i
80
+ georges.cars.append(car)
81
+
82
+ #saving georges also saves all his cars to the db
83
+ georges.save()
84
+
85
+
86
+
87
+ What's a namespace?
88
+ -------------------
89
+
90
+ You can think of rabaDB's namespace as independent databases. Each namespace has a name and a file where all the data
91
+ will be saved. Here's how you initialise rabaDb:
92
+
93
+ .. code:: python
94
+
95
+ #The initialisation
96
+ from rabaDB.rabaSetup import *
97
+ RabaConfiguration('test', './dbTest_BasicExample.db')
98
+
99
+ Once you've done that, the configuration is a singleton attached to the namespace. If the filename does not exist
100
+ it will be created for you.
101
+
102
+ You can access it everywhere in you script by simply doing
103
+
104
+ .. code:: python
105
+
106
+ myConf = RabaConfiguration('test')
107
+
108
+ There's also a connection object associated to the namespace
109
+
110
+ .. code:: python
111
+
112
+ myConn = RabaConnnection('test')
113
+
114
+ To know what you can do with that, have a look at the debugging part.
115
+
116
+ Field types
117
+ -----------
118
+
119
+ RabaDB has only **four** variable types:
120
+
121
+ *Primitive:
122
+ - Numbers
123
+ - Strings
124
+ - Serialized objects
125
+ *RabaObject
126
+ - An object whose class derives from Raba.Raba
127
+ *Relation:
128
+ - A list of only a certain type of RabaObject
129
+ *RList:
130
+ - A list of anything
131
+
132
+ Schemaless?
133
+ -----------
134
+
135
+ rabaDB allows you to change the schemas of your classes on the fly. That means that you can add and remove fields
136
+ from your class definitions at any moment during the developement and rabaDB will take care of composing with the
137
+ SQL backend. However keep in mind that whenever you remove a field, all the information relative to that field
138
+ are lost forever.
139
+
140
+ You can even erase whole class definitions from you code, and rabaDB will automatically update the database.
141
+
142
+ Indexation
143
+ -----------
144
+ No problem:
145
+
146
+ .. code:: python
147
+
148
+ Human.ensureIndex('name')
149
+ #even on several fields
150
+ Human.ensureIndex(('name', 'age', 'city'))
151
+
152
+ #To drop an index
153
+ Human.dropIndex('name')
154
+
155
+ Brutal Querying
156
+ ---------------
157
+
158
+ You can do things like:
159
+
160
+ .. code:: python
161
+
162
+ georges = Human(name = 'Georges')
163
+
164
+ And rabaDB will try to find a match for you.
165
+
166
+ Querying by example
167
+ -------------------
168
+ Querying by example is done by creating filters, all the conditions inside the same filter are merged by **And**
169
+ and filters between them are merged by **Or**.
170
+
171
+ .. code::
172
+
173
+ f = RabaQuery(SomeClass)
174
+
175
+ f.addFilter(A1, A2, A3)
176
+ f.addFilter(B1, B2)
177
+
178
+ Means: (A1 AND A2 AND A3) OR (B1 AND B2)
179
+
180
+ There are several syntaxes that you can use.
181
+
182
+ .. code:: python
183
+
184
+ from rabaDB.filters import *
185
+
186
+ f = RabaQuery(Human)
187
+ #Or
188
+ f = RabaQuery('Human')
189
+
190
+ f.addFilter(name = "Fela", age = "22")
191
+ #Or the fancier
192
+ f.addFilter({"age >=" : 22, "name like": "fel%"})
193
+ #Or
194
+ f.addFilter(['age = "22"', 'name = Fela'])
195
+
196
+ And then here's how you get your results:
197
+
198
+ .. code:: python
199
+
200
+ for r in f.run() :
201
+ print r
202
+
203
+ You can add an SQL statement at the end
204
+
205
+ .. code:: python
206
+
207
+ for r in f.run(sqlTail = "ORDER By age") :
208
+ print r
209
+
210
+
211
+ Querying SQL style
212
+ ------------------
213
+
214
+ You can also write your own SQL *WHERE* conditions
215
+
216
+ .. code:: python
217
+
218
+ from rabaDB.filters import *
219
+
220
+ f = RabaQuery(Human)
221
+
222
+ for r in f.runWhere("age = ?, name = ?" , (22, "fela")) :
223
+ print r
224
+
225
+
226
+ Getting raw SQL
227
+ ----------------
228
+
229
+ By default all querying functions return raba Object, but you can always ask for the raw **SQL** tuple:
230
+
231
+ .. code:: python
232
+
233
+ f.run(raw = True)
234
+ f.runWere(("age = ?, name = ?" , (22, "fela"), raw = True)
235
+
236
+ Supported operators for queries
237
+ --------------------------------
238
+
239
+ The supported operators are: 'LIKE', '=', '<', '>', '=', '>=', '<=', '<>', '!=', 'IS'
240
+
241
+ Yes, but I just want to loop through the results
242
+ ------------------------------------------------
243
+
244
+ There are also iterative versions. They have the same interface but they are faster and less memory consuming
245
+
246
+ * f.iterRun
247
+ * f.iterRunWhere
248
+
249
+ And counts?
250
+ ----------
251
+
252
+ Here's how you do counts
253
+
254
+ .. code:: python
255
+
256
+ from rabaDB.filters import *
257
+
258
+ f = RabaQuery(Human)
259
+ f.addFilter(age = "22")
260
+ print f.count()
261
+
262
+ Registry
263
+ ---------
264
+
265
+ rabaDB keeps an internal registry to ensure a strong object consistency. If you do:
266
+
267
+ .. code:: python
268
+
269
+ georges = Human(name = 'Georges')
270
+ sameGeorges = Human(name = 'Georges')
271
+
272
+ You get two times the same object, every modification you do to georges is also applied to sameGeorges,
273
+ because georges **is** sameGeorges. This rules applies to any form of queries.
274
+
275
+ However keep in mind that the registery will also prevent the garbage collector from erasing raba objects, and
276
+ that can lead to "memory leak"-like situations. The way that is by telling raba that you
277
+ no longer need some objects to be registered:
278
+
279
+ .. code:: python
280
+
281
+ form rabaDB.Raba import *
282
+
283
+ _unregisterRabaObjectInstance(georges)
284
+
285
+
286
+ Debugging
287
+ ---------
288
+
289
+ RabaDB has debugging tools that you can access through the namespace's connection.
290
+
291
+ .. code:: python
292
+
293
+ import rabaDB.rabaSetup
294
+ conn = rabaDB.rabaSetup.RabaConnection("mynamespace")
295
+
296
+ #printing the SQL queries
297
+ conn.enableQueryPrint(True)
298
+ #the part you want to debug
299
+ conn.enableQueryPrint(False)
300
+ #debug: print each SQL querie and asks the permition to continue
301
+ conn.enableDebug(True)
302
+ #the part you want to debug
303
+ conn.enableDebug(False)
304
+
305
+ #record all the queries performed
306
+ conn.enableStats(True, logQueries = True)
307
+ #the part you want to debug
308
+ conn.enableStats(False)
309
+ #a pretty print
310
+ conn.printStats()
311
+
312
+ #when you're done
313
+ conn.eraseStats()
314
+
315
+ Transactions
316
+ ------------
317
+
318
+ You can group several queries into one single transaction
319
+
320
+ .. code:: python
321
+
322
+ conn.beginTransaction()
323
+ #a lot of object saving
324
+ conn.endTransaction()
325
+
326
+ Inheritence
327
+ -----------
328
+
329
+ rabaDB fully supports inheritence. Children classes automatically inherit the fields of their parents.
330
+ rabaDB also supports abstract classes, that is to say classes that are never meant to be instanciated and that only
331
+ serve as templates for other classes. Abstract classes have no effect on the database
332
+
333
+ Here's how you declare an abstract class:
334
+
335
+ .. code:: python
336
+
337
+ class pyGenoRabaObject(Raba) :
338
+
339
+ _raba_namespace = "pyGeno"
340
+ _raba_abstract = True # abstractness
341
+
342
+ name = rf.Primitive()
343
+
