read_csv

getml.database.read_csv(name: str, fnames: Union[str, List[str]], quotechar: str = '"', sep: str = ',', num_lines_read: int = 0, skip: int = 0, colnames: Optional[List[str]] = None, conn: Optional[Connection] = None)

Reads a CSV file into the database.

Example:

Let’s assume you have two CSV files - file1.csv and file2.csv . You can import their data into the database using the following commands:

>>> stmt = data.database.sniff_csv(
...         fnames=["file1.csv", "file2.csv"],
...         name="MY_TABLE",
...         sep=';'
... )
>>>
>>> getml.database.execute(stmt)
>>>
>>> stmt = data.database.read_csv(
...         fnames=["file1.csv", "file2.csv"],
...         name="MY_TABLE",
...         sep=';'
... )

Args:

name (str):

Name of the table in which the data is to be inserted.

fnames (List[str]):

The list of CSV file names to be read.

quotechar (str, optional):

The character used to wrap strings. Default:”

sep (str, optional):

The separator used for separating fields. Default:,

num_lines_read (int, optional):

Number of lines read from each file. Set to 0 to read in the entire file.

skip (int, optional):

Number of lines to skip at the beginning of each file (Default: 0).

colnames(List[str] or None, optional):

The first line of a CSV file usually contains the column names. When this is not the case, you need to explicitly pass them.

conn (Connection, optional):

The database connection to be used. If you don’t explicitly pass a connection, the engine will use the default connection.
