Create Your First PostgreSQL Database in Python With Psycopg2

Introduction

Today I am going to show you how to create and modify a PostgreSQL database in Python, with the help of the psycopg2 library.

Unlike SQLAlchemy that generates SQL queries while mapping the database schema to Python objects, psycopg2 takes your hand-crafted SQL queries and executes them against the database. In other words, SQLAlchemy is an ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) and psycopg2 is a database driver for PostgreSQL.

Create the database and its tables

We’ll be creating a dead simple housing database that consists of two tables: “person” and “house”.

Each house has an address and multiple people can live in the same house (1 to many relationship/many people can live in a single house). This relationship is realized by using id as the primary key of “house” and house_id as the foreign key of “person”.

Now let’s see the complete script for the creation of the database and its tables, followed by an explanation of the code.

(in case you are not familiar with the if __name__ == "__main__" condition, it checks that the script being executed is the current script)

In essence, this script does the following:

• Loads database connection information from a .ini file;
• Connects to PostgreSQL;
• Creates the “houses” database;
• Connects to the newly-created database;
• Creates the “house” table; and
• Creates the “person” table.

The contents of the .ini file are just a set of variables for the database connection.

[postgresql]

host=localhost
database=houses
user=postgres
password=postgres

Think of it as storing API keys and other sensitive information in environment variables instead of hard-coding it in the script. Though since this is a local database it’s fine to show you my credentials.

After loading this information with the load_connection_info function as a dictionary (line 58 of the code gist), we connect to PostgreSQL. Because the database does not exist yet, we connect to the engine itself. The creation is handled by the create_db function (lines 16 to 36). psycopg2.connect returns a connection between Python and PostgreSQL, from which we create a cursor. Cursors are created to execute the code in the PostgreSQL.

After that, still in create_db, we execute the database creation query by passing it a string with the proper SQL code. This is wrapped in a try/except/else block in case something goes wrong. Usually we first execute the query and afterwards commit it to the database, but “CREATE DATABASE” statements require the commit to be automatic, hence using conn.autocommit in create_db.

Okay, the “houses” database is created, the next step is to create the “house” and “person” tables. First connect to the newly-created database on line 64 and create a new cursor on line 65. Instead of passing each argument separately (host, database, user and password), we use the ** operator to unpack each key-value pair on its own.

Then, we create the “house” and “person” tables. We write the necessary SQL queries and call the create_table function on lines 63 to 74 and 77 to 85, respectively. create_table simply executes and commits the queries, wrapped in a try/except/else block. If nothing bad happens, the changes are committed to the database inside the else block, otherwise the exception and query are output in the except block. In case an exception is raised we also rollback any changes that were not committed.

At the very end of the script we close all active connections and cursors.

Why use Python for Software Development

No programming language is pretty much as diverse as Python. It enables building cutting edge applications effortlessly. Developers are as yet investigating the full capability of end-to-end Python development services in various areas. 

By areas, we mean FinTech, HealthTech, InsureTech, Cybersecurity, and that's just the beginning. These are New Economy areas, and Python has the ability to serve every one of them. The vast majority of them require massive computational abilities. Python's code is dynamic and powerful - equipped for taking care of the heavy traffic and substantial algorithmic capacities. 

Programming advancement is multidimensional today. Endeavor programming requires an intelligent application with AI and ML capacities. Shopper based applications require information examination to convey a superior client experience. Netflix, Trello, and Amazon are genuine instances of such applications. Python assists with building them effortlessly. 

5 Reasons to Utilize Python for Programming Web Apps 

Python can do such numerous things that developers can't discover enough reasons to admire it. Python application development isn't restricted to web and enterprise applications. It is exceptionally adaptable and superb for a wide range of uses.

Robust frameworks 

Python is known for its tools and frameworks. There's a structure for everything. Django is helpful for building web applications, venture applications, logical applications, and mathematical processing. Flask is another web improvement framework with no conditions. 

Web2Py, CherryPy, and Falcon offer incredible capabilities to customize Python development services. A large portion of them are open-source frameworks that allow quick turn of events. 

Simple to read and compose 

Python has an improved sentence structure - one that is like the English language. New engineers for Python can undoubtedly understand where they stand in the development process. The simplicity of composing allows quick application building. 

The motivation behind building Python, as said by its maker Guido Van Rossum, was to empower even beginner engineers to comprehend the programming language. The simple coding likewise permits developers to roll out speedy improvements without getting confused by pointless subtleties. 

Utilized by the best 

Alright - Python isn't simply one more programming language. It should have something, which is the reason the business giants use it. Furthermore, that too for different purposes. Developers at Google use Python to assemble framework organization systems, parallel information pusher, code audit, testing and QA, and substantially more. Netflix utilizes Python web development services for its recommendation algorithm and media player. 

Massive community support 

Python has a steadily developing community that offers enormous help. From amateurs to specialists, there's everybody. There are a lot of instructional exercises, documentation, and guides accessible for Python web development solutions. 

Today, numerous universities start with Python, adding to the quantity of individuals in the community. Frequently, Python designers team up on various tasks and help each other with algorithmic, utilitarian, and application critical thinking. 

Progressive applications 

Python is the greatest supporter of data science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence at any enterprise software development company. Its utilization cases in cutting edge applications are the most compelling motivation for its prosperity. Python is the second most well known tool after R for data analytics.

The simplicity of getting sorted out, overseeing, and visualizing information through unique libraries makes it ideal for data based applications. TensorFlow for neural networks and OpenCV for computer vision are two of Python's most well known use cases for Machine learning applications.

Summary

Thinking about the advances in programming and innovation, Python is a YES for an assorted scope of utilizations. Game development, web application development services, GUI advancement, ML and AI improvement, Enterprise and customer applications - every one of them uses Python to its full potential. 

The disadvantages of Python web improvement arrangements are regularly disregarded by developers and organizations because of the advantages it gives. They focus on quality over speed and performance over blunders. That is the reason it's a good idea to utilize Python for building the applications of the future.
