sqlalchemy.schema CreateTable Example Code

CreateTable is a class within the sqlalchemy.schema module of the SQLAlchemy project.

CheckConstraint, Column, CreateIndex, DDLElement, ForeignKey, ForeignKeyConstraint, Index, PrimaryKeyConstraint, and Table are several other callables with code examples from the same sqlalchemy.schema package.

Example 1 from Amazon Redshift SQLAlchemy Dialect

Amazon Redshift SQLAlchemy Dialect is a SQLAlchemy Dialect that can communicate with the AWS Redshift data store. The SQL is essentially PostgreSQL and requires psycopg2 to properly operate. This project and its code are open sourced under the MIT license.

    Redshift defines a TIMTESTAMPTZ column type as an alias
    of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/c_Supported_data_types.html

    Adding an explicit type to the RedshiftDialect allows us follow the
    SqlAlchemy conventions for "vendor-specific types."

    https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/type_basics.html#vendor-specific-types
    Structured tuple of table/view name and schema name.
        Construct a new RelationKey with an explicit schema name.
        Return *key* with one level of double quotes removed.

        Redshift stores some identifiers without quotes in internal tables,
        even though the name must be quoted elsewhere.
        In particular, this happens for tables named as a keyword.
    Handles Redshift-specific ``CREATE TABLE`` syntax.

    Users can specify the `diststyle`, `distkey`, `sortkey` and `encode`
    properties per table and per column.

    Table level properties can be set using the dialect specific syntax. For
    example, to specify a distribution key and style you apply the following:

    >>> import sqlalchemy as sa
    >>> from sqlalchemy.schema import CreateTable
    >>> engine = sa.create_engine('redshift+psycopg2://example')
    >>> metadata = sa.MetaData()
    >>> user = sa.Table(
    ...     'user',
    ...     metadata,
    ...     sa.Column('id', sa.Integer, primary_key=True),
    ...     sa.Column('name', sa.String),
    ...     redshift_diststyle='KEY',
    ...     redshift_distkey='id',
    ...     redshift_interleaved_sortkey=['id', 'name'],
    ... )
    >>> print(CreateTable(user).compile(engine))
    <BLANKLINE>
    CREATE TABLE "user" (
        id INTEGER NOT NULL,
        name VARCHAR,
        PRIMARY KEY (id)
    ) DISTSTYLE KEY DISTKEY (id) INTERLEAVED SORTKEY (id, name)
    <BLANKLINE>
    <BLANKLINE>

    A single sort key can be applied without a wrapping list:

    >>> customer = sa.Table(
