# Driveline Python SDK


At the core of the Python SDK is the class `DrivelineClient`.

```python
import asyncio

from driveline import DrivelineClient, run_async

async def main():
    async with DrivelineClient('ws://127.0.0.1:8080') as client:

        # list all streams
        async for stream_name in await client.list_streams('*'):
            print('found stream:', stream_name)

        # list all keys is the document store
        async for key_name in await client.list_keys('*'):
            print('found document with key', key_name)


        # store a document in the document store
        await client.store('key/1', dict(title='Welcome', body='Hello, world!'))

        # load a key from the document store
        future_record = await client.load('key/1')
        record = await future_record
        print('document associated with key/1 is:', record.record, 'id:', record.record_id)

        # remove all records in the document store with keys matching 'key/...'
        await client.removeMatches('key/*')

        # run a live query against a stream. 
        # We want all records that have an odd index
        def query_handler(res):
            print('query returned record:', res.record, 'id:', res.record_id)
        query = await client.continuous_query('SELECT * FROM STREAM my_stream where index % 1 == 1', query_handler)


        # stop the query
        await asyncio.sleep(10)
        await client.cancel(query)

        # quit

# DQL Driveline Query Language

## Query syntax

### Basic syntax

```sql
SELECT <selector> FROM STREAM <stream> [WHERE <expression>]
SELECT * FROM STREAM stream_1
SELECT * FROM STREAM stream_1 WHERE key=value
SELECT time AS t,(2+3) AS five FROM STREAM stream_1 WHERE age BETWEEN 21 AND 25 OR name LIKE 'Joe%'
```

`DQL` supports standard `SQL` query syntax, excluding Joins and
Aggregates. This means `DQL` can be used for all forms of data filtering
and partitioning of data over live streams.

### KV query

```sql
SELECT <selector> FROM <string-key-name-expression> [WHERE <expression>]
SELECT * FROM 'users/*' WHERE color='red'
```

Multi key query is a `DQL` extension that lets you subscribe to multiple
event streams, automatically subscribing to new streams as they form,
based on the stream name expression. Stream name expression use file-system/Pythong `Glob`,
with `?`, `*` and `**` serving as the wildcard match characters.

### ECMAScript Object Notation (JavaScript extensions)

```sql
SELECT {time,name:user.name,phone_number:user.phone.mobile.number,original:{...*}} FROM stream
```

With inputs of the form:

```javascript
{time:123, user: {name:'joe', phone: {mobile: {number:'1-800-123-4567'}}}}
```

Results in:

```javascript
{time:123,name:'joe',phone_number:'1-800-123-4567',original:{time:123,user:phone:{...}}}
```

The following table summarizes all language operators in order of
precedence
