```

## Basic Usage[​](#basic-usage "Direct link to Basic Usage")

### Set AlloyDB database values[​](#set-alloydb-database-values "Direct link to Set AlloyDB database values")

Find your database values, in the [AlloyDB cluster page](https://console.cloud.google.com/alloydb?_ga=2.223735448.2062268965.1707700487-2088871159.1707257687).

```
# @title Set Your Values Here { display-mode: "form" }REGION = "us-central1"  # @param {type: "string"}CLUSTER = "my-alloydb-cluster"  # @param {type: "string"}INSTANCE = "my-alloydb-instance"  # @param {type: "string"}DATABASE = "my-database"  # @param {type: "string"}TABLE_NAME = "message_store"  # @param {type: "string"}
```

### AlloyDBEngine Connection Pool[​](#alloydbengine-connection-pool "Direct link to AlloyDBEngine Connection Pool")

One of the requirements and arguments to establish AlloyDB as a ChatMessageHistory memory store is a `AlloyDBEngine` object. The `AlloyDBEngine` configures a connection pool to your AlloyDB database, enabling successful connections from your application and following industry best practices.

To create a `AlloyDBEngine` using `AlloyDBEngine.from_instance()` you need to provide only 5 things:

1.  `project_id` : Project ID of the Google Cloud Project where the AlloyDB instance is located.
2.  `region` : Region where the AlloyDB instance is located.
3.  `cluster`: The name of the AlloyDB cluster.
4.  `instance` : The name of the AlloyDB instance.
5.  `database` : The name of the database to connect to on the AlloyDB instance.

By default, [IAM database authentication](https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/manage-iam-authn) will be used as the method of database authentication. This library uses the IAM principal belonging to the [Application Default Credentials (ADC)](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/application-default-credentials) sourced from the envionment.

Optionally, [built-in database authentication](https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/database-users/about) using a username and password to access the AlloyDB database can also be used. Just provide the optional `user` and `password` arguments to `AlloyDBEngine.from_instance()`:

*   `user` : Database user to use for built-in database authentication and login
*   `password` : Database password to use for built-in database authentication and login.

```
from langchain_google_alloydb_pg import AlloyDBEngineengine = AlloyDBEngine.from_instance(    project_id=PROJECT_ID,    region=REGION,    cluster=CLUSTER,    instance=INSTANCE,    database=DATABASE,)
```

### Initialize a table[​](#initialize-a-table "Direct link to Initialize a table")

The `AlloyDBChatMessageHistory` class requires a database table with a specific schema in order to store the chat message history.

The `AlloyDBEngine` engine has a helper method `init_chat_history_table()` that can be used to create a table with the proper schema for you.

```
engine.init_chat_history_table(table_name=TABLE_NAME)
```

### AlloyDBChatMessageHistory[​](#alloydbchatmessagehistory "Direct link to AlloyDBChatMessageHistory")

To initialize the `AlloyDBChatMessageHistory` class you need to provide only 3 things:

1.  `engine` - An instance of a `AlloyDBEngine` engine.
2.  `session_id` - A unique identifier string that specifies an id for the session.
3.  `table_name` : The name of the table within the AlloyDB database to store the chat message history.

```
from langchain_google_alloydb_pg import AlloyDBChatMessageHistoryhistory = AlloyDBChatMessageHistory.create_sync(    engine, session_id="test_session", table_name=TABLE_NAME)history.add_user_message("hi!")history.add_ai_message("whats up?")
```

#### Cleaning up[​](#cleaning-up "Direct link to Cleaning up")

When the history of a specific session is obsolete and can be deleted, it can be done the following way.

**Note:** Once deleted, the data is no longer stored in AlloyDB and is gone forever.

## 🔗 Chaining[​](#chaining "Direct link to 🔗 Chaining")

We can easily combine this message history class with [LCEL Runnables](https://python.langchain.com/docs/expression_language/how_to/message_history/)

To do this we will use one of [Google’s Vertex AI chat models](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/chat/google_vertex_ai_palm/) which requires that you [enable the Vertex AI API](https://console.cloud.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=aiplatform.googleapis.com) in your Google Cloud Project.

```
# enable Vertex AI API!gcloud services enable aiplatform.googleapis.com
```

```
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate, MessagesPlaceholderfrom langchain_core.runnables.history import RunnableWithMessageHistoryfrom langchain_google_vertexai import ChatVertexAI
```

```
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(    [        ("system", "You are a helpful assistant."),        MessagesPlaceholder(variable_name="history"),        ("human", "{question}"),    ])chain = prompt | ChatVertexAI(project=PROJECT_ID)
```

```
chain_with_history = RunnableWithMessageHistory(    chain,    lambda session_id: AlloyDBChatMessageHistory.create_sync(        engine,        session_id=session_id,        table_name=TABLE_NAME,    ),    input_messages_key="question",    history_messages_key="history",)
```

```
# This is where we configure the session idconfig = {"configurable": {"session_id": "test_session"}}
```

```
chain_with_history.invoke({"question": "Hi! I'm bob"}, config=config)
```

```
chain_with_history.invoke({"question": "Whats my name"}, config=config)
```
