Installation

  • Requires Python >=3.7
  • pip install "firebolt-sdk>=1.0.0a1"

Documentation

For reference and tutorials, see the Firebolt Python SDK reference.

Connection parameters

These parameters are used to connect to a Firebolt database:

  • account_name - name of firebolt account
  • client_id - credentials client id
  • cliend_secret - credentials client secret
  • database [Optional] - name of the database to connect to
  • engine_name [Optional] - name of the engine to connect to

Examples

See PEP-249 for the DB API reference and specifications. An example jupyter notebook is included to illustrate the use of the Firebolt API.

Special considerations

Cursor objects should not be shared between threads

Cursor is not thread-safe and should not be shared across threads. In a multi-threaded environment you can share a Connection, but each thread would need to keep its own Cursor. This corresponds to a thread safety 2 in the DBApi specification.

Optional features

Faster datetime with ciso8601

By default, firebolt-sdk uses datetime module to parse date and datetime values, which might be slow for a large amount of operations. In order to speed up datetime operations, it's possible to use ciso8601 package. In order to install firebolt-sdk with ciso8601 support, run pip install "firebolt-sdk[ciso8601]"
