# wherobots-python-dbapi

Python DB-API implementation for Wherobots DB. This package implements a
PEP-0249 compatible driver to programmatically connect to a Wherobots DB
runtime and execute Spatial SQL queries.

## Installation

To add this library as a dependency in your Python project, use `uv add`
or `poetry add` as appropriate:

```
# For uv-managed projects
$ uv add wherobots-python-dbapi

# For poetry-managed projects
$ poetry add wherobots-python-dbapi
```

Otherwise, just `pip install` it:

```
$ pip install wherobots-python-dbapi
```

## Usage

### Basic usage

Basic usage follows the typical pattern of establishing the connection,
acquiring a cursor, and executing SQL queries through it:

```python
from wherobots.db import connect
from wherobots.db.region import Region
from wherobots.db.runtime import Runtime

with connect(
        api_key='...',
        runtime=Runtime.TINY,
        region=Region.AWS_US_WEST_2) as conn:
    curr = conn.cursor()
    curr.execute("SHOW SCHEMAS IN wherobots_open_data")
    results = curr.fetchall()
    print(results)
```

The `Cursor` supports the context manager protocol, so you can use it
within a `with` statement when needed:

```python
with connect(...) as conn:
    with conn.cursor() as curr:
        curr.execute(...)
        results = curr.fetchall()
```

It also implements the `close()` method, as suggested by the PEP-2049
specification, to support situations where the cursor is wrapped in a
`contextmanager.closing()`.

### Runtime and region selection

You can chose the Wherobots runtime you want to use using the `runtime`
parameter, passing in one of the `Runtime` enum values. For more
information on runtime sizing and selection, please consult the
[Wherobots product documentation](https://docs.wherobots.com).

You must also specify in which region your SQL session should execute
into. Wherobots Cloud supports the following compute regions:

* `aws-us-east-1`: AWS US East 1 (N. Virginia)
* `aws-us-west-2`: AWS US West 2 (Oregon)
* `aws-eu-west-1`: AWS EU West 1 (Ireland)
* `aws-ap-south-1`: AWS AP South 1 (Mumbai)

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The `aws-us-west-2` region is available to all Wherobots Cloud users
> and customers; other regions are currently reserved to Professional
> Edition customers.

> [!WARNING]
> To prepare for the expansion of Wherobots Cloud to new regions and cloud providers, the `region` parameter will become mandatory in a future SDK version.
> Before this support for new regions is added, we will release an updated version of the SDK.
> While you can continue using an older SDK version for your development,
> any new or existing SQL session you initialize without specifying the `region` parameter will be hosted in the `aws-us-west-2` region.

### Advanced parameters

The `connect()` method takes some additional parameters that advanced
users may find useful:

* `results_format`: one of the `ResultsFormat` enum values;
    Arrow encoding is the default and most efficient format for
    receiving query results.
* `data_compression`: one of the `DataCompression` enum values; Brotli
    compression is the default and the most efficient compression
    algorithm for receiving query results.
* `geometry_representation`: one of the `GeometryRepresentation` enum
    values; selects the encoding of geometry columns returned to the
    client application. The default is EWKT (string) and the most
    convenient for human inspection while still being usable by
    libraries like Shapely.
* `version`: one of the WherobotsDB runtime versions that is available
    to you, if you need to pin your usage to a particular, supported
    WherobotsDB version. Defaults to `"latest"`.
* `session_type`: `"single"` or `"multi"`; if set to `"single"`, then
    each call to `connect()` establishes an exclusive connection to a
    distinct and dedicated Wherobots runtime; if set to "multi", then
    multiple `connect()` calls with the same arguments and credentials
    will connect to the same shared Wherobots runtime; `"multi"` is the
    default.

    Consider multi-session for potential cost savings, but be mindful of
    performance impacts from shared resources. You might need to adjust
    cluster size if slowdowns occur, which could affect overall cost.
* `force_new`: passing `force_new=True` forces Wherobots Cloud to create
    and start a new SQL Session runtime for this connection instead of
    attempting to reuse an existing, available one. Note that this can
    severely impact the delay in obtaining a connection to your runtime.
* `shutdown_after_inactive_seconds`: how long the runtime waits and
    stays running after all clients have disconnected. This delay gives
    an opportunity for clients to reconnect to a previously-established
    runtime without having to start a new one.

    If you're using a simple "connect-query-disconnect" pattern from
    your application, you can set this parameter to a value greater than
    your expected time between queries and effectively get a continuously
    running SQL session runtime without any complex connection management
    in your application.
