Cloud Spanner API client library

Project description

GA pypi versions

Cloud Spanner is the world’s first fully managed relational database service to offer both strong consistency and horizontal scalability for mission-critical online transaction processing (OLTP) applications. With Cloud Spanner you enjoy all the traditional benefits of a relational database; but unlike any other relational database service, Cloud Spanner scales horizontally to hundreds or thousands of servers to handle the biggest transactional workloads.

Quick Start

In order to use this library, you first need to go through the following steps:

  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.

  2. Enable billing for your project.

  3. Enable the Google Cloud Spanner API.

  4. Setup Authentication.

Installation

Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

With virtualenv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system dependencies.

Supported Python Versions

Python >= 3.4

Deprecated Python Versions

Python == 2.7. Python 2.7 support will be removed on January 1, 2020.

Mac/Linux

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
<your-env>/bin/pip install google-cloud-spanner

Windows

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
<your-env>\Scripts\activate
<your-env>\Scripts\pip.exe install google-cloud-spanner

Example Usage

Executing Arbitrary SQL in a Transaction

Generally, to work with Cloud Spanner, you will want a transaction. The preferred mechanism for this is to create a single function, which executes as a callback to database.run_in_transaction:

# First, define the function that represents a single "unit of work"
# that should be run within the transaction.
def update_anniversary(transaction, person_id, unix_timestamp):
    # The query itself is just a string.
    #
    # The use of @parameters is recommended rather than doing your
    # own string interpolation; this provides protections against
    # SQL injection attacks.
    query = """SELECT anniversary FROM people
        WHERE id = @person_id"""

    # When executing the SQL statement, the query and parameters are sent
    # as separate arguments. When using parameters, you must specify
    # both the parameters themselves and their types.
    row = transaction.execute_sql(
        query=query,
        params={'person_id': person_id},
        param_types={
            'person_id': types.INT64_PARAM_TYPE,
        },
    ).one()

    # Now perform an update on the data.
    old_anniversary = row[0]
    new_anniversary = _compute_anniversary(old_anniversary, years)
    transaction.update(
        'people',
        ['person_id', 'anniversary'],
        [person_id, new_anniversary],
    )

# Actually run the `update_anniversary` function in a transaction.
database.run_in_transaction(update_anniversary,
    person_id=42,
    unix_timestamp=1335020400,
)

Select records using a Transaction

Once you have a transaction object (such as the first argument sent to run_in_transaction), reading data is easy:

# Define a SELECT query.
query = """SELECT e.first_name, e.last_name, p.telephone
    FROM employees as e, phones as p
    WHERE p.employee_id == e.employee_id"""

# Execute the query and return results.
result = transaction.execute_sql(query)
for row in result.rows:
    print(row)

Insert records using a Transaction

To add one or more records to a table, use insert:

transaction.insert(
    'citizens',
    columns=['email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'age'],
    values=[
        ['phred@exammple.com', 'Phred', 'Phlyntstone', 32],
        ['bharney@example.com', 'Bharney', 'Rhubble', 31],
    ],
)

Update records using a Transaction

Transaction.update updates one or more existing records in a table. Fails if any of the records does not already exist.

transaction.update(
    'citizens',
    columns=['email', 'age'],
    values=[
        ['phred@exammple.com', 33],
        ['bharney@example.com', 32],
    ],
)
