# SQLAlchemy FairCom

A pure Python SQLAlchemy dialect for FairCom Database using the JSON/REST API. This driver works cross-platform without requiring native C libraries.

[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[![Python 3.7+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.7+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

## Features

- ✅ Pure Python implementation (no native libraries required)
- ✅ Cross-platform: Works on macOS, Linux, Windows
- ✅ SQLAlchemy compatible (1.4+)
- ✅ DB-API 2.0 compliant
- ✅ Uses FairCom JSON API over HTTP/HTTPS
- ✅ Compatible with Apache Superset, Pandas, and other SQLAlchemy-based tools

## Installation

### From PyPI

```bash
pip install sqlalchemy-faircom
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/toddstoffel/sqlalchemy-faircom.git
cd sqlalchemy-faircom
pip install -e .
```

### For Development

```bash
git clone https://github.com/toddstoffel/sqlalchemy-faircom.git
cd sqlalchemy-faircom
pip install -e .[dev]
pytest
```

## Connection String Format

```
faircom://username:password@host:port/database?protocol=http
```

### Parameters

- `username`: Database username (e.g., ADMIN)
- `password`: Database password
- `host`: Database server hostname
- `port`: JSON API port (typically 8080 for HTTP, 8443 for HTTPS)
- `database`: Database name (e.g., ctreeSQL)
- `protocol`: Either `http` or `https` (default: http)

## Environment Variables

Create a `.env` file in your project root:

```env
HOST=your-server.example.com
PORT=8080
USERNAME=your_username
PASSWORD=your_password
PROTOCOL=http
```

**Note**: PORT should be set to the JSON API port: 8080 for HTTP or 8443 for HTTPS.

## Usage Examples

### Basic SQLAlchemy Usage

```python
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, text

# Create connection
connection_string = 'faircom://username:password@your-server:8080/ctreeSQL?protocol=http'
engine = create_engine(connection_string, echo=True)

# Execute queries
with engine.connect() as conn:
    result = conn.execute(text("SELECT 1 as test"))
    print(result.fetchone())
```

### Using Environment Variables

```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, text

load_dotenv()

connection_string = f"faircom://{os.getenv('USERNAME')}:{os.getenv('PASSWORD')}@{os.getenv('HOST')}:{os.getenv('PORT')}/{os.getenv('DATABASE', 'ctreeSQL')}?protocol={os.getenv('PROTOCOL', 'http')}"
engine = create_engine(connection_string)

with engine.connect() as conn:
    result = conn.execute(text("SELECT * FROM my_table"))
    for row in result:
        print(row)
```

### Direct DB-API Usage

```python
from faircom_jsonapi.dbapi import connect

# Connect to database
conn = connect(
    host='your-server.example.com',
    port=8080,
    username='your_username',
    password='your_password',
    database='ctreeSQL',
    protocol='http'
)

# Create cursor and execute
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT 1 as test")
print(cursor.fetchone())

cursor.close()
conn.close()
```

## Testing

Run the test suite:

```bash
pytest tests/
```

## Compatibility

- Python 3.7+
- SQLAlchemy 1.4+
- ✅ **Apache Superset** - Full pagination support
- Works with any tool that uses SQLAlchemy (e.g., Pandas, Jupyter notebooks, etc.)

## Pagination Support

FairCom uses **SKIP** syntax instead of the standard OFFSET. This driver automatically converts SQLAlchemy pagination:

- **LIMIT only**: Generates `SELECT TOP n ...` (optimized)
  ```python
  query.limit(10)  # → SELECT TOP 10 ...
  ```

- **LIMIT + OFFSET**: Generates `SELECT ... SKIP n FETCH FIRST m ROWS ONLY`
  ```python
  query.limit(10).offset(20)  # → SELECT ... SKIP 20 FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY
  ```

- **OFFSET only**: Generates `SELECT ... SKIP n`
  ```python
  query.offset(5)  # → SELECT ... SKIP 5
  ```

### Apache Superset Compatibility

✅ **Full pagination support** - Apache Superset's data exploration features work seamlessly with this driver. The automatic OFFSET→SKIP conversion ensures all Superset queries execute correctly.

## Limitations

### Database Limitations

- **Parameterized TOP/SKIP Values**: FairCom requires literal integer values in TOP and SKIP clauses (not bind parameters). This driver automatically extracts literal values from SQLAlchemy queries.

### API Limitations

- Read operations are fully supported
- Write operations may have limited support (depends on JSON API capabilities)
- Some advanced SQLAlchemy features may not be implemented

## Publishing

To publish a new version to PyPI:

```bash
# Update version in pyproject.toml
# Clean and build
rm -rf dist/ build/ *.egg-info
python -m build

# Upload to PyPI
twine upload dist/*
```

## Troubleshooting

### Connection Refused
- Ensure the JSON API is enabled on your FairCom server
- Verify the correct port (8080 for HTTP, 8443 for HTTPS)
- Check firewall settings

### SSL Warnings
The driver currently disables SSL verification for HTTPS connections. For production use, you may want to enable proper certificate verification in `faircom_jsonapi/client.py`.

### Reserved Keywords
Some SQL keywords like "number" are reserved in FairCom. Use different column aliases if you encounter syntax errors.
