I have an empty table defined in snowflake as;
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE db1.schema1.table(
ACCOUNT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
PREDICTED_PROBABILITY FLOAT,
TIME_PREDICTED TIMESTAMP
);
And it creates the correct table, which has been checked using desc command in sql. Then using a snowflake python connector we are trying to execute following query;
insert_query = f'INSERT INTO DATA_LAKE.CUSTOMER.ACT_PREDICTED_PROBABILITIES(ACCOUNT_ID, PREDICTED_PROBABILITY, TIME_PREDICTED) VALUES ({accountId}, {risk_score},{ct});'
ctx.cursor().execute(insert_query)
Just before this query the variables are defined, The main challenge is getting the current time stamp written into snowflake. Here the value of ct is defined as;
import datetime
ct = datetime.datetime.now()
print(ct)
2021-04-30 21:54:41.676406
But when we try to execute this INSERT query we get the following errr message;
ProgrammingError: 001003 (42000): SQL compilation error:
syntax error line 1 at position 157 unexpected '21'.
Can I kindly get some help on ow to format the date time value here? Help is appreciated.
In addition to the answer #Lukasz provided you could also think about defining the current_timestamp() as default for the TIME_PREDICTED column:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE db1.schema1.table(
ACCOUNT_ID NUMBER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
PREDICTED_PROBABILITY FLOAT,
TIME_PREDICTED TIMESTAMP DEFAULT current_timestamp
);
And then just insert ACCOUNT_ID and PREDICTED_PROBABILITY:
insert_query = f'INSERT INTO DATA_LAKE.CUSTOMER.ACT_PREDICTED_PROBABILITIES(ACCOUNT_ID, PREDICTED_PROBABILITY) VALUES ({accountId}, {risk_score});'
ctx.cursor().execute(insert_query)
It will automatically assign the insert time to TIME_PREDICTED
Educated guess. When performing insert with:
insert_query = f'INSERT INTO ...(ACCOUNT_ID, PREDICTED_PROBABILITY, TIME_PREDICTED)
VALUES ({accountId}, {risk_score},{ct});'
It is a string interpolation. The ct is provided as string representation of datetime, which does not match a timestamp data type, thus error.
I would suggest using proper variable binding instead:
ctx.cursor().execute("INSERT INTO DATA_LAKE.CUSTOMER.ACT_PREDICTED_PROBABILITIES "
"(ACCOUNT_ID, PREDICTED_PROBABILITY, TIME_PREDICTED) "
"VALUES(:1, :2, :3)",
(accountId,
risk_score,
("TIMESTAMP_LTZ", ct)
)
);
Avoid SQL Injection Attacks
Avoid binding data using Python’s formatting function because you risk SQL injection. For example:
# Binding data (UNSAFE EXAMPLE)
con.cursor().execute(
"INSERT INTO testtable(col1, col2) "
"VALUES({col1}, '{col2}')".format(
col1=789,
col2='test string3')
)
Instead, store the values in variables, check those values (for example, by looking for suspicious semicolons inside strings), and then bind the parameters using qmark or numeric binding style.
You forgot to place the quotes before and after the {ct}. The code should be :
insert_query = "INSERT INTO DATA_LAKE.CUSTOMER.ACT_PREDICTED_PROBABILITIES(ACCOUNT_ID, PREDICTED_PROBABILITY, TIME_PREDICTED) VALUES ({accountId}, {risk_score},'{ct}');".format(accountId=accountId,risk_score=risk_score,ct=ct)
ctx.cursor().execute(insert_query)

I have the following SQL statement where i am reading the database to get the records for 1 day. Here is what i tried in pgAdmin console -
SELECT * FROM public.orders WHERE createdat >= now()::date AND type='t_order'
I want to convert this to the syntax of psycopg2but somehow it throws me errors -
Database connection failed due to invalid input syntax for type timestamp: "now()::date"
Here is what i am doing -
query = f"SELECT * FROM {table} WHERE (createdat>=%s AND type=%s)"
cur.execute(query, ("now()::date", "t_order"))
records = cur.fetchall()
Any help is deeply appreciated.
DO NOT use f strings. Use proper Parameter Passing
now()::date is better expressed as current_date. See Current Date/Time.
You want:
query = "SELECT * FROM public.orders WHERE (createdat>=current_date AND type=%s)"
cur.execute(query, ["t_order"])
If you want dynamic identifiers, table/column names then:
from psycopg2 import sql
query = sql.SQL("SELECT * FROM {} WHERE (createdat>=current_date AND type=%s)").format(sql.Identifier(table))
cur.execute(query, ["t_order"])
For more information see sql.
From what I looked so far, it seems impossible with Cassandra. But I thought I'd give it a shot:
How can I select a value of a json property, parsed from a json object string, and use it as part of an update / insert statement in Cassandra?
For example, I'm given the json object:
{
id:123,
some_string:"hello there",
mytimestamp: "2019-09-02T22:02:24.355Z"
}
And this is the table definition:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS myspace.mytable (
id text,
data blob,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
Now the thing to know at this point is that for a given reason the data field will be set to the json string. In other words, there is no 1:1 mapping between the given json and the table columns, but the data field contains the json object as kind of a blob value.
... Is it possible to parse the timestamp value of the given json object as part of an insert statement?
Pseudo code example of what I mean, which obviously doesn't work ($myJson is a placeholder for the json object string above):
INSERT INTO myspace.mytable (id, data)
VALUES (123, $myJson)
USING timestamp toTimeStamp($myJson.mytimestamp)
The quick answer is no, it's not possible to do that with CQL.
The norm is to parse the elements of the JSON object within your application to extract the corresponding values to construct the CQL statement.
As a side note, I would discourage using the CQL blob type due to possible performance issues should the blob size exceeed 1MB. If it's JSON, consider storing it as CQL text type instead. Cheers!
Worth mentioning, but CQL can do a limited amount of JSON parsing on its own. Albeit, not as detailed as you're asking here (ex: USING timestamp).
But something like this works:
> CREATE TABLE myjsontable (
... id TEXT,
... some_string TEXT,
... PRIMARY KEY (id));
> INSERT INTO myjsontable JSON '{"id":"123","some_string":"hello there"}';
> SELECT * FROM myjsontable WHERE id='123';
id | some_string
-----+-------------
123 | hello there
(1 rows)
In your case you'd either have to redesign the table or the JSON payload so that they match. But as Erick and Cédrick have mentioned, the USING timestamp part would have to happen client-side.
What you detailed is doable with Cassandra.
Timestamp
To insert timestamp in a query it should be formatted as an ISO 8601 String. Sample examples could be found here. In your code, you might have to convert your incoming value to expected type and format.
Blob:
Blob expects to store binary data, as such it cannot be put Ad hoc as a String in a CQL query. (you can use TEXT type to do it if you want to encode base64)
When you need to insert binary data you need to provide proper type as well. For instance if you are working with Javascript to need to provide a Buffer as describe in the documentation Then when you execute your query you externalized your parameters
const sampleId = 123;
const sampleData = Buffer.from('hello world', 'utf8');
const sampleTimeStamp = new Date();
client.execute('INSERT INTO myspace.mytable (id, data) VALUES (?, ?) USING timestamp toTimeStamp(?)', [ sampleId, sampleData, sampleTimeStamp ]);
I am trying to compare a string variable in my Python script with a varchar variable in SQL. Following is a snippet from my code:
todaysDate = datetime.now().date().strftime('%d-%m-%y')
read(conn, f'select cou_id from NewCourier where date_created = {todaysDate}'
Where:
todaysDate => variable in python storing current date
cou_id & date_created => columns in a relational DB table NewCourier
I tried:
read(conn, f'select cou_id from NewCourier where CAST(date_created AS INT) = {todaysDate}
I've also gone through a couple of questions and solutions on StackOverflow and other sites and found only this solution similar to my problem but I didn't get a clear idea of how to solve it.
Thanks!
Python 3.8.5
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18
It seems like the column data type is integer and you are trying to compare it to a string. If you can find code in your program that inserts into the table you should be able to figure out how to convert your date time properly
Instead of creating a variable to store the current date in Python, I used the GETDATE() method of SQL and converted it to varchar using the CONVERT() method in SQL which solved my problem
(i.e., it allowed me to get the courier IDs of all the records generated on that particular day).
Here's the updated line:
read(conn, f'select cou_id from NewCourier where date_created = CONVERT(varchar, getdate(), 23)
I read the post:
Turning a Comma Separated string into individual rows
And really like the solution:
SELECT A.OtherID,
Split.a.value('.', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS Data
FROM
( SELECT OtherID,
CAST ('<M>' + REPLACE(Data, ',', '</M><M>') + '</M>' AS XML) AS Data
FROM Table1
) AS A CROSS APPLY Data.nodes ('/M') AS Split(a);
But it did not work when I tried to apply the method in Teradata for a similar question. Here is the summarized error code:
select failed 3707: expected something between '.' and the 'value' keyword. So is the code only valid in SQL Server? Would anyone help me to make it work in Teradata or SAS SQL? Your help will be really appreciated!
This is SQL Server syntax.
In Teradata there's a table UDF named STRTOK_SPLIT_TO_TABLE,
e.g.
SELECT * FROM dbc.DatabasesV AS db
JOIN
(
SELECT token AS DatabaseName, tokennum
FROM TABLE (STRTOK_SPLIT_TO_TABLE(1, 'dbc,systemfe', ',')
RETURNS (outkey INTEGER,
tokennum INTEGER,
token VARCHAR(128) CHARACTER SET UNICODE)
) AS d
) AS dt
ON db.DatabaseName = dt.DatabaseName
ORDER BY tokennum;

i'm using cassandra 1.2.8. i have a column family like below:
CREATE TABLE word_probability (
word text,
category text,
probability double,
PRIMARY KEY (word,category)
);
when i use query like this:
String query = "SELECT * FROM word_probability WHERE word='%s' AND category='%s';";
it works well but for some words i get this message:
name provided was not in the list of valid column labels error
every thing is ok and i don't know why i get this error :(
You're not doing anything wrong except mixing up cql with sql. Cql doesn't support % wildcards.
