Modin SQL API¶
Modin’s SQL API is currently a conceptual plan, Coming Soon!
Plans for future development¶
Our plans with the SQL API for Modin are to create an interface that allows you to intermix SQL and pandas operations without copying the entire dataset into a new structure between the two. This is possible due to the architecture of Modin. Currently, Modin has a query compiler that acts as an intermediate layer between the query language (e.g. SQL, pandas) and the execution (See architecture documentation for details).
We have implemented a simple example that can be found below. Feedback welcome!
>>> import modin.sql as sql
>>>
>>> conn = sql.connect("db_name")
>>> c = conn.cursor()
>>> c.execute("CREATE TABLE example (col1, col2, column 3, col4)")
>>> c.execute("INSERT INTO example VALUES ('1', 2.0, 'A String of information', True)")
col1 col2 column 3 col4
0 1 2.0 A String of information True
>>> c.execute("INSERT INTO example VALUES ('6', 17.0, 'A String of different information', False)")
col1 col2 column 3 col4
0 1 2.0 A String of information True
1 6 17.0 A String of different information False
