## Usage

### The Python Database API (DBAPI)

**Installation**

```
$ pip install trino
```

**Quick Start**

Use the DBAPI interface to query Trino:

if `host` is a valid url, the port and http schema will be automatically determined. For example `https://my-trino-server:9999` will assign the `http_schema` property to `https` and port to `9999`.

```python
from trino.dbapi import connect

conn = connect(
    host="<host>",
    port=<port>,
    user="<username>",
    catalog="<catalog>",
    schema="<schema>",
)
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM system.runtime.nodes")
rows = cur.fetchall()
```

This will query the `system.runtime.nodes` system tables that shows the nodes
in the Trino cluster.

The DBAPI implementation in `trino.dbapi` provides methods to retrieve fewer
rows for example `Cursor.fetchone()` or `Cursor.fetchmany()`. By default
`Cursor.fetchmany()` fetches one row. Please set
`trino.dbapi.Cursor.arraysize` accordingly.

### SQLAlchemy

**Prerequisite**

- Trino server >= 351

**Compatibility**

`trino.sqlalchemy` is compatible with the latest 1.3.x, 1.4.x and 2.0.x SQLAlchemy
versions at the time of release of a particular version of the client.

**Installation**

```
$ pip install trino[sqlalchemy]
```

**Usage**

To connect to Trino using SQLAlchemy, use a connection string (URL) following this pattern:

```
trino://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>/<schema>
```

NOTE: `password` and `schema` are optional

**Examples**:

```python
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.schema import Table, MetaData
from sqlalchemy.sql.expression import select, text

engine = create_engine('trino://user@localhost:8080/system')
connection = engine.connect()

rows = connection.execute(text("SELECT * FROM runtime.nodes")).fetchall()

# or using SQLAlchemy schema
nodes = Table(
    'nodes',
    MetaData(schema='runtime'),
    autoload=True,
    autoload_with=engine
)
rows = connection.execute(select(nodes)).fetchall()
```

In order to pass additional connection attributes use [connect_args](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/core/engines.html#sqlalchemy.create_engine.params.connect_args) method.
Attributes can also be passed in the connection string.

```python
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from trino.sqlalchemy import URL

engine = create_engine(
    URL(
        host="localhost",
        port=8080,
        catalog="system"
    ),
    connect_args={
      "session_properties": {'query_max_run_time': '1d'},
      "client_tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
      "roles": {"catalog1": "role1"},
    }
)

# or in connection string
engine = create_engine(
    'trino://user@localhost:8080/system?'
    'session_properties={"query_max_run_time": "1d"}'
    '&client_tags=["tag1", "tag2"]'
    '&roles={"catalog1": "role1"}'
)

# or using the URL factory method
engine = create_engine(URL(
  host="localhost",
  port=8080,
  client_tags=["tag1", "tag2"]
))
```

## Authentication mechanisms

### Basic authentication

The `BasicAuthentication` class can be used to connect to a Trino cluster configured with
the [Password file, LDAP or Salesforce authentication type](https://trino.io/docs/current/security/authentication-types.html):

- DBAPI

    ```python
    from trino.dbapi import connect
    from trino.auth import BasicAuthentication

    conn = connect(
        user="<username>",
        auth=BasicAuthentication("<username>", "<password>"),
        http_scheme="https",
        ...
    )
    ```

- SQLAlchemy

    ```python
    from sqlalchemy import create_engine

    engine = create_engine("trino://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>")

    # or as connect_args
    from trino.auth import BasicAuthentication
    engine = create_engine(
        "trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>",
        connect_args={
            "auth": BasicAuthentication("<username>", "<password>"),
            "http_scheme": "https",
        }
    )
    ```

### JWT authentication

The `JWTAuthentication` class can be used to connect to a Trino cluster configured with
the [`JWT` authentication type](https://trino.io/docs/current/security/jwt.html):

- DBAPI

    ```python
    from trino.dbapi import connect
    from trino.auth import JWTAuthentication

    conn = connect(
        user="<username>",
        auth=JWTAuthentication("<jwt_token>"),
        http_scheme="https",
        ...
    )
    ```

- SQLAlchemy

    ```python
    from sqlalchemy import create_engine

    engine = create_engine("trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>/<schema>?access_token=<jwt_token>")

    # or as connect_args
    from trino.auth import JWTAuthentication
    engine = create_engine(
        "trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>",
        connect_args={
            "auth": JWTAuthentication("<jwt_token>"),
            "http_scheme": "https",
        }
    )
    ```

### OAuth2 authentication

The `OAuth2Authentication` class can be used to connect to a Trino cluster configured with
the [OAuth2 authentication type](https://trino.io/docs/current/security/oauth2.html).

A callback to handle the redirect url can be provided via param `redirect_auth_url_handler` of the `trino.auth.OAuth2Authentication` class. By default, it will try to launch a web browser (`trino.auth.WebBrowserRedirectHandler`) to go through the authentication flow and output the redirect url to stdout (`trino.auth.ConsoleRedirectHandler`). Multiple redirect handlers are combined using the `trino.auth.CompositeRedirectHandler` class.

The OAuth2 token will be cached either per `trino.auth.OAuth2Authentication` instance and username or, when keyring is installed, it will be cached within a secure backend (MacOS keychain, Windows credential locker, etc) under a key including host of the Trino connection. Keyring can be installed using `pip install 'trino[external-authentication-token-cache]'`.

> [!WARNING]
> If username is not specified then the OAuth2 token cache is shared and stored per host.

- DBAPI

    ```python
    from trino.dbapi import connect
    from trino.auth import OAuth2Authentication

    conn = connect(
        user="<username>",
        auth=OAuth2Authentication(),
        http_scheme="https",
        ...
    )
    ```

- SQLAlchemy

    ```python
    from sqlalchemy import create_engine
    from trino.auth import OAuth2Authentication

    engine = create_engine(
    "trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>",
        connect_args={
            "auth": OAuth2Authentication(),
            "http_scheme": "https",
        }
    )
    ```

### Certificate authentication

`CertificateAuthentication` class can be used to connect to Trino cluster configured with [certificate based authentication](https://trino.io/docs/current/security/certificate.html). `CertificateAuthentication` requires paths to a valid client certificate and private key.

- DBAPI

    ```python
    from trino.dbapi import connect
    from trino.auth import CertificateAuthentication

    conn = connect(
        user="<username>",
        auth=CertificateAuthentication("/path/to/cert.pem", "/path/to/key.pem"),
        http_scheme="https",
        ...
    )
    ```

- SQLAlchemy

    ```python
    from sqlalchemy import create_engine
    from trino.auth import CertificateAuthentication

    engine = create_engine("trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>/<schema>?cert=<cert>&key=<key>")

    # or as connect_args
    engine = create_engine(
    "trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>",
        connect_args={
            "auth": CertificateAuthentication("/path/to/cert.pem", "/path/to/key.pem"),
            "http_scheme": "https",
        }
    )
    ```

### Kerberos authentication

Make sure that the Kerberos support is installed using `pip install trino[kerberos]`.
The `KerberosAuthentication` class can be used to connect to a Trino cluster configured with
the [`Kerberos` authentication type](https://trino.io/docs/current/security/kerberos.html):

- DBAPI

    ```python
    from trino.dbapi import connect
    from trino.auth import KerberosAuthentication

    conn = connect(
        user="<username>",
        auth=KerberosAuthentication(...),
        http_scheme="https",
        ...
    )
    ```

- SQLAlchemy

    ```python
    from sqlalchemy import create_engine
    from trino.auth import KerberosAuthentication

    engine = create_engine(
        "trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>",
        connect_args={
            "auth": KerberosAuthentication(...),
            "http_scheme": "https",
        }
    )
    ```

### GSSAPI authentication

Make sure that the GSSAPI support is installed using `pip install trino[gssapi]`.
The `GSSAPIAuthentication` class can be used to connect to a Trino cluster configured with
the [`Kerberos` authentication type](https://trino.io/docs/current/security/kerberos.html):

It follows the interface for `KerberosAuthentication`, but is using
[requests-gssapi](https://github.com/pythongssapi/requests-gssapi), instead of [requests-kerberos](https://github.com/requests/requests-kerberos) under the hood.

- DBAPI

    ```python
    from trino.dbapi import connect
    from trino.auth import GSSAPIAuthentication

    conn = connect(
        user="<username>",
        auth=GSSAPIAuthentication(...),
        http_scheme="https",
        ...
    )
    ```

- SQLAlchemy

    ```python
    from sqlalchemy import create_engine
    from trino.auth import GSSAPIAuthentication

    engine = create_engine(
        "trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/<catalog>",
        connect_args={
            "auth": GSSAPIAuthentication(...),
            "http_scheme": "https",
        }
    )
    ```

## User impersonation

In the case where user who submits the query is not the same as user who authenticates to Trino server (e.g in Superset),
you can set `username` to be different from `principal_id`. Note that `principal_id` is extracted from `auth`,
for example `username` in BasicAuthentication, `sub` in JWT token or `service-name` in KerberosAuthentication.
You need to make sure that [`principal_id` has permission to impersonate `username`](https://trino.io/docs/current/security/file-system-access-control.html#impersonation-rules).

### Extra credentials

[`Extra credentials`](https://trino.io/docs/current/develop/client-protocol.html#client-request-headers) can be sent as:

```python
import trino
conn = trino.dbapi.connect(
    host='localhost',
    port=443,
    user='the-user',
    extra_credential=[('a.username', 'bar'), ('a.password', 'foo')],
)

cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute('SELECT * FROM system.runtime.nodes')
rows = cur.fetchall()
```

## Roles

Authorization roles to use for catalogs, specified as a dict with key-value pairs for the catalog and role. For example, `{"catalog1": "roleA", "catalog2": "roleB"}` sets `roleA` for `catalog1` and `roleB` for `catalog2`. See Trino docs.

```python
import trino
conn = trino.dbapi.connect(
    host='localhost',
    port=443,
    user='the-user',
    roles={"catalog1": "roleA", "catalog2": "roleB"},
)
```

You could also pass `system` role without explicitly specifing "system" catalog:

```python
import trino
conn = trino.dbapi.connect(
    host='localhost',
    port=443,
    user='the-user',
    roles="role1" # equivalent to {"system": "role1"}
)
```

## Timezone

The time zone for the session can be explicitly set using the IANA time zone
name. When not set the time zone defaults to the client side local timezone.

```python
import trino
conn = trino.dbapi.connect(
    host='localhost',
    port=443,
    user='username',
    timezone='Europe/Brussels',
)
```

> **NOTE: The behaviour till version 0.320.0 was the same as setting session timezone to UTC.**
> **To preserve that behaviour pass `timezone='UTC'` when creating the connection.**

## SSL

### SSL verification

In order to disable SSL verification, set the `verify` parameter to `False`.

```python
from trino.dbapi import connect
from trino.auth import BasicAuthentication

conn = connect(
    user="<username>",
    auth=BasicAuthentication("<username>", "<password>"),
    http_scheme="https",
    verify=False
)
```

### Self-signed certificates

To use self-signed certificates, specify a path to the certificate in `verify` parameter.
More details can be found in [the Python requests library documentation](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#ssl-cert-verification).

```python
from trino.dbapi import connect
from trino.auth import BasicAuthentication

conn = connect(
    user="<username>",
    auth=BasicAuthentication("<username>", "<password>"),
    http_scheme="https",
    verify="/path/to/cert.crt"
)
```

## Spooled protocol

The client spooling protocol requires [a Trino server with spooling protocol support](https://trino.io/docs/current/client/client-protocol.html#spooling-protocol).

Enable the spooling protocol by specifying a supported encoding in the `encoding` parameter:

Supported encodings are `json`, `json+lz4` and `json+zstd`.

```python
from trino.dbapi import connect

conn = connect(
    encoding="json+zstd"
)
```

or a list of supported encodings in order of preference:

```python
from trino.dbapi import connect

conn = connect(
    encoding=["json+zstd", "json"]
)
```

## Transactions

The client runs by default in *autocommit* mode. To enable transactions, set
*isolation_level* to a value different than `IsolationLevel.AUTOCOMMIT`:

```python
from trino.dbapi import connect
from trino.transaction import IsolationLevel

with connect(
        isolation_level=IsolationLevel.REPEATABLE_READ,
        ...
) as conn:
    cur = conn.cursor()
    cur.execute('INSERT INTO sometable VALUES (1, 2, 3)')
    cur.fetchall()
    cur.execute('INSERT INTO sometable VALUES (4, 5, 6)')
    cur.fetchall()
```

The transaction is created when the first SQL statement is executed.
`trino.dbapi.Connection.commit()` will be automatically called when the code
exits the *with* context and the queries succeed, otherwise
`trino.dbapi.Connection.rollback()` will be called.

## Custom requests Session

You can create a custom [requests.Session object](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#session-objects) and pass it to the `http_session` parameter. This can be used for things like setting additional HTTP headers, client certificates, etc.

```python
import requests
from trino.dbapi import connect

s = requests.Session()
s.cert = '/path/client.cert'

conn = connect(
    http_session=s,
    ...
)
```

## Legacy Primitive types

By default, the client will convert the results of the query to the
corresponding Python types. For example, if the query returns a `DECIMAL` column, the result will be a `Decimal` object.
If you want to disable this behaviour, set flag `legacy_primitive_types` to `True`.

Limitations of the Python types are described in the 
[Python types documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datatypes.html). These limitations will generate an 
exception `trino.exceptions.TrinoDataError` if the query returns a value that cannot be converted to the corresponding Python 
type.

```python
import trino

conn = trino.dbapi.connect(
    legacy_primitive_types=True,
    ...
)

cur = conn.cursor()
# Negative DATE cannot be represented with Python types
# legacy_primitive_types needs to be enabled
cur.execute("SELECT DATE '-2001-08-22'")
rows = cur.fetchall()

assert rows[0][0] == "-2001-08-22"
assert cur.description[0][1] == "date"
```
