Redshift database backend for Django

Project description

This product is tested with:

  • python-2.7, 3.4, 3.5

  • django-1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10

Differences from postgres_psycopg2 backend

Type mapping:

  • ‘integer identity(1, 1)’ for AutoField

  • ‘bigint identity(1, 1)’ for BigAutoField

  • ‘timestamp’ for DateTimeField

  • ‘varchar(max)’ for TextField

  • Possibility to multiply VARCHAR length to support utf-8 string, using REDSHIFT_VARCHAR_LENGTH_MULTIPLIER setting.

Stop using:

  • RETURNING (single insert and bulk insert)

  • SELECT FOR UPDATE

  • SET TIME ZONE

  • SET CONSTRAINTS

  • INDEX

  • DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED

  • CONSTRAINT

  • DROP DEFAULT

To support migration:

  • To add column to existent table on Redshift, column must be nullable

  • To support modify column, add new column -> data migration -> drop old column -> rename

Please note that the migration support for redshift is not perfect yet.

Note and Limitation

Amazon Redshift doesn’t support RETURNING, so last_insert_id method retrieve MAX(pk) after insertion as a workaround.

refs:

In some case, MAX(pk) workaround does not work correctly. Bulk insertion makes non-contiguous IDs like: 1, 4, 7, 10, … and single insertion after such bulk insertion generates strange id value like 2 (smallest non-used id).

SETTINGS

ENGINE for DATABASES is ‘django_redshift_backend’. You can set the name in your settings.py as:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django_redshift_backend',
        'NAME': '<your database name>',
        'USER': '<your database username>',
        'PASSWORD': '<your database password>',
        'HOST': '<your database hostname>',
        'PORT': '5439',
    }
}
REDSHIFT_VARCHAR_LENGTH_MULTIPLIER:

Possibility to multiply VARCHAR length to support utf-8 string. Default is 1.

TESTING

Testing this package requires:

  • tox-1.8 or later

  • virtualenv-15.0.1 or later

  • pip-8.1.1 or later

and wheelhouse directory contains psycopg2 manylinux1 wheels for using in each tests.
