Postgres Types

Demonstrate the use of various postgres specific types.

Code Example

With postgres database set up with:

CREATE TABLE items (
  id integer primary key,
  mysmallint smallint,
  mybigint bigint,
  myuuid uuid,
  myinet inet,
  myjsonb jsonb,
  mydouble double precision,
  mynumeric numeric,
  mytimestamp timestamp with time zone,
  mydate date,
  myinterval interval
);

fixture.yml:

items:
  10:
    mysmallint: 9
    mybigint: 10
    myuuid: 9fda6f42-6f3d-4ca5-a5e3-a72e91f746b2
    myinet: 127.0.0.1
    myjsonb: '{"x": "y"}'
    mydouble: 3.14159265354
    mynumeric: 3.14159265354
    mytimestamp: 2012-08-24 14:00:00 +02:00
    mydate: 2012-08-24
    myinterval: 10:00:00
  11:
    mysmallint: 10
    mybigint: 11
    myuuid: a25a2e85-0802-42d1-992b-24d8809c1eb0
    myinet: 127.0.0.2
    myjsonb: '{"a": "b"}'
    mydouble: 6.21494515439
    mynumeric: 6.21494515439
    mytimestamp: 2012-08-24 12:00:00 +00:00
    mydate: 2012-08-25
    myinterval: 11:00:00

Running tbls on this database in JSON mode will output:

from hitchdb import HitchDb
from strictyaml import load
from path import Path

hitch_db = HitchDb("tbls.json")

fixture = hitch_db.fixture(
    load(
        Path("fixture.yml").read_text(),
        hitch_db.strictyaml_schema(),
    ).data
)

sql = fixture.sql()
print(sql)
Path("fixture.sql").write_text(sql)

Will output:

INSERT INTO items (id, mysmallint, mybigint, myuuid, myinet, myjsonb, mydouble, mynumeric, mytimestamp, mydate, myinterval)                                     
VALUES                                                                                                                                                          
    (10, 9, 10, '9fda6f42-6f3d-4ca5-a5e3-a72e91f746b2', '127.0.0.1', '{"x": "y"}', 3.14159265354, 3.14159265354, '2012-08-24 14:00:00 +02:00', '2012-08-24', '10
:00:00'),                                                                                                                                                       
    (11, 10, 11, 'a25a2e85-0802-42d1-992b-24d8809c1eb0', '127.0.0.2', '{"a": "b"}', 6.21494515439, 6.21494515439, '2012-08-24 12:00:00 +00:00', '2012-08-25', '1
1:00:00');

Then the file fixture.sql is run.

Then running:

select * from items;

Will output:
