## 🛠 Installation

### Requirements
- Python 3.7+
- Operating System: Linux, macOS, or Windows

### Install from PyPI

```bash
pip install gosql-connector
```

### Install from Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/coffeecms/gosql.git
cd gosql/pythonpackaging
pip install -e .
```

## 📚 Usage Examples

### Example 1: MySQL Connection (Drop-in Replacement)

**Before (mysql-connector-python):**
```python
import mysql.connector

# Original mysql-connector-python code
conn = mysql.connector.connect(
    host="localhost",
    user="root",
    password="secret",
    database="ecommerce"
)

cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM products WHERE price > %s", (100,))
products = cursor.fetchall()

for product in products:
    print(f"Product: {product[1]}, Price: ${product[3]}")

cursor.close()
conn.close()
```

**After (GoSQL - just change the import!):**
```python
from gosql.mysql import connector

# Same exact code, just different import - 3x faster performance!
conn = connector.connect(
    host="localhost",
    user="root",
    password="secret",
    database="ecommerce"
)

cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM products WHERE price > %s", (100,))
products = cursor.fetchall()

for product in products:
    print(f"Product: {product[1]}, Price: ${product[3]}")

cursor.close()
conn.close()
```

### Example 2: PostgreSQL with Connection Context Manager

```python
from gosql.postgres import connect

# PostgreSQL connection with automatic resource management
with connect(
    host="localhost",
    user="postgres", 
    password="secret",
    database="analytics"
) as conn:
    with conn.cursor() as cursor:
        # Complex analytical query
        cursor.execute("""
            SELECT 
                date_trunc('month', created_at) as month,
                COUNT(*) as orders,
                SUM(total_amount) as revenue
            FROM orders 
            WHERE created_at >= %s 
            GROUP BY month 
            ORDER BY month DESC
        """, ('2024-01-01',))
        
        results = cursor.fetchall()
        
        print("Monthly Revenue Report:")
        for month, orders, revenue in results:
            print(f"{month.strftime('%Y-%m')}: {orders:,} orders, ${revenue:,.2f}")
```

### Example 3: High-Performance Batch Operations

```python
from gosql.mysql import connect
import time

# Demonstrate high-performance batch insert
def bulk_insert_users(user_data):
    with connect(
        host="localhost",
        user="root",
        password="secret",
        database="userdb"
    ) as conn:
        cursor = conn.cursor()
        
        # Batch insert - much faster than individual inserts
        start_time = time.time()
        
        cursor.executemany(
            "INSERT INTO users (name, email, age, city) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s)",
            user_data
        )
        
        conn.commit()
        end_time = time.time()
        
        print(f"Inserted {len(user_data)} records in {end_time - start_time:.2f}s")
        print(f"Throughput: {len(user_data) / (end_time - start_time):.0f} records/sec")

# Sample data
users = [
    ("Alice Johnson", "alice@email.com", 28, "New York"),
    ("Bob Smith", "bob@email.com", 34, "Los Angeles"),
    ("Carol Davis", "carol@email.com", 25, "Chicago"),
    # ... thousands more records
] * 1000  # 3000 records total

bulk_insert_users(users)
```

### Example 4: Microsoft SQL Server with Transactions

```python
from gosql.mssql import connect

def transfer_funds(from_account, to_account, amount):
    """Demonstrate ACID transaction with automatic rollback on error"""
    
    with connect(
        server="localhost",
        user="sa",
        password="Password123!",
        database="banking"
    ) as conn:
        try:
            with conn.begin() as transaction:
                cursor = transaction.cursor()
                
                # Check source account balance
                cursor.execute(
                    "SELECT balance FROM accounts WHERE account_id = ?", 
                    (from_account,)
                )
                balance = cursor.fetchone()[0]
                
                if balance < amount:
                    raise ValueError("Insufficient funds")
                
                # Debit source account
                cursor.execute(
                    "UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - ? WHERE account_id = ?",
                    (amount, from_account)
                )
                
                # Credit destination account
                cursor.execute(
                    "UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + ? WHERE account_id = ?",
                    (amount, to_account)
                )
                
                # Log transaction
                cursor.execute(
                    "INSERT INTO transactions (from_account, to_account, amount, timestamp) VALUES (?, ?, ?, GETDATE())",
                    (from_account, to_account, amount)
                )
                
                # Transaction automatically commits here
                print(f"Successfully transferred ${amount} from {from_account} to {to_account}")
                
        except Exception as e:
            # Transaction automatically rolls back
            print(f"Transfer failed: {e}")
            raise

## 🔧 Advanced Configuration

### Connection Pooling

```python
from gosql.mysql import connect

# Configure connection pool for high-traffic applications
conn = connect(
    host="db.example.com",
    user="app_user",
    password="secure_password",
    database="production",
    pool_size=50,          # Maximum 50 connections
    max_lifetime=3600,     # Connections expire after 1 hour
    max_idle_time=300,     # Close idle connections after 5 minutes
    charset="utf8mb4"
)
```

### SSL Configuration

```python
from gosql.postgres import connect

# Secure connection with SSL
conn = connect(
    host="secure-db.example.com",
    user="secure_user",
    password="secure_password",
    database="sensitive_data",
    sslmode="require",        # Require SSL
    sslcert="/path/to/client-cert.pem",
    sslkey="/path/to/client-key.pem",
    sslrootcert="/path/to/ca-cert.pem"
)
```

## 📊 Benchmarking

Run your own performance benchmarks:

```python
from gosql.benchmarks import BenchmarkRunner

# Configure database connections
mysql_config = {
    'host': 'localhost',
    'user': 'root', 
    'password': 'password',
    'database': 'test'
}

# Run comprehensive benchmarks
runner = BenchmarkRunner()
runner.run_mysql_benchmarks(mysql_config, iterations=1000)
runner.print_summary()
runner.generate_report("benchmark_results.json")
```

### Performance Optimizations

1. **Connection Pooling**: Intelligent connection reuse and lifecycle management
2. **Batch Processing**: Optimized bulk operations with reduced round trips
3. **Memory Management**: Zero-copy data transfer where possible
4. **Type Conversion**: Pre-compiled type converters for common data types
5. **Query Optimization**: Parameter placeholder conversion and query caching
