Usage

There are two ways to communicate with server:

• using pure Client;
• using DB API.

Pure Client example:

>>> from clickhouse_driver import Client
>>>
>>> client = Client('localhost')
>>>
>>> client.execute('SHOW TABLES')
[('test',)]
>>> client.execute('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test')
[]
>>> client.execute('CREATE TABLE test (x Int32) ENGINE = Memory')
[]
>>> client.execute(
...     'INSERT INTO test (x) VALUES',
...     [{'x': 100}]
... )
1
>>> client.execute('INSERT INTO test (x) VALUES', [[200]])
1
>>> client.execute(
...     'INSERT INTO test (x) '
...     'SELECT * FROM system.numbers LIMIT %(limit)s',
...     {'limit': 3}
... )
[]
>>> client.execute('SELECT sum(x) FROM test')
[(303,)]

DB API example:

>>> from clickhouse_driver import connect
>>>
>>> conn = connect('clickhouse://localhost')
>>> cursor = conn.cursor()
>>>
>>> cursor.execute('SHOW TABLES')
>>> cursor.fetchall()
[('test',)]
>>> cursor.execute('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test')
>>> cursor.fetchall()
[]
>>> cursor.execute('CREATE TABLE test (x Int32) ENGINE = Memory')
>>> cursor.fetchall()
[]
>>> cursor.executemany(
...     'INSERT INTO test (x) VALUES',
...     [{'x': 100}]
... )
>>> cursor.rowcount
1
>>> cursor.executemany('INSERT INTO test (x) VALUES', [[200]])
>>> cursor.rowcount
1
>>> cursor.execute(
...     'INSERT INTO test (x) '
...     'SELECT * FROM system.numbers LIMIT %(limit)s',
...     {'limit': 3}
... )
>>> cursor.rowcount
0
>>> cursor.execute('SELECT sum(x) FROM test')
>>> cursor.fetchall()
[(303,)]
