pyorient

master

develop

Orientdb driver for python that uses the binary protocol.

Note: checkout branch 2.2.x for connecting to OrientDB version 2.2.x and branch 3.1.x for OrientDB version 3.1.x. However, be aware that version 3.1.x is work in progress and not fully functional yet and not recommended for "productive use" or "benchmarking".

Pyorient works with orientdb version 1.7 and later.

Warning Some issues are experimented with record_create/record_upload and OrientDB < 2.0. These command are strongly discouraged with these versions

NOTICE Prior to version 1.4.9 there was a potential SQL injection vulnerability that now is fixed. (see details , details )

Installation

pip install pyorient

OrientDB PyOrient Python Driver

How to contribute

• Fork the project
• work on develop branch
• Make your changes
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally
• Send me a pull request (pull request to master will be rejected)
• ???
• PROFIT

How to run tests

• ensure you have ant and nose installed properly
• bootstrap orient by running ./ci/start-ci.sh from project directory
  it will download latest orient and make some change on config and database for the tests
• run with nosetests

Using this library with OrientDB 3.1+

As of OrientDB 3.1+, session tokens are now required for interacting with databases. You can find a brief description of how to use session tokens below for older version, but now they are enabled by default when a client is initialized:

client=pyorient.OrientDB("localhost", 2424)
client.db_open("GratefulDeadConcerts", "admin", "admin")
client.command("create class my_class if not exists extends V")
client.command(f"insert into my_class (row_id, work, holiday) values (1, 'banker', 'christmas')")
client.query('select from V limit 1')

Note that one can connect to a database and run commands and queries within that database without a session ID. Some methods will require creating a session ID in order to perform (e.g. checking the existence of a database or creating a new one):

client=pyorient.OrientDB("localhost", 2424)
client.db_exists("GratefulDeadConcerts")
# Results in an error: pyorient.exceptions.PyOrientSecurityException: # com.orientechnologies.orient.enterprise.channel.binary.OTokenSecurityException - missing session and token

To create new databases, or perform other restricted actions, you must connect to the client with approved user credentials:

client=pyorient.OrientDB("localhost", 2424)
client.connect("root", "rootPassword")
client.db_exists("GratefulDeadConcerts")
# True

Usage

Proper documentation will be available soon, for now you have to read the tests.

PyOrient is composed of two layers. At its foundation is the python wrapper around OrientDB's binary protocol. Built upon that - and OrientDB's own SQL language - is the Object-Graph Mapper (or OGM). The OGM layer is documented separately.

Init the client

client=pyorient.OrientDB("localhost", 2424)
session_id=client.connect( "admin", "admin" )

Create a DB

client.db_create( db_name, pyorient.DB_TYPE_GRAPH, pyorient.STORAGE_TYPE_MEMORY )

Check if a DB exists

client.db_exists( db_name, pyorient.STORAGE_TYPE_MEMORY )

Open a DB

client.db_open( db_name, "admin", "admin" )

Close a DB and destroy the connection ( by OrientDB design )

client.db_close()

Get the the list of databases ( needs to be connected )

client.db_list()

Get the size of a database ( needs a DB opened )

client.db_size()

Get the number of records in a database in the OrientDB Server instance

client.db_count_records()

Send a command

cluster_id=client.command( "create class my_class extends V" )
client.command(
"insert into my_class ( 'accommodation', 'work', 'holiday' ) values( 'B&B', 'garage', 'mountain' )"
)

Create a record

Warning Some issues are experimented with record_create/record_upload and OrientDB < 2.0. These command are strongly discouraged with these versions

rec= { '@my_class': { 'accommodation': 'house', 'work': 'office', 'holiday': 'sea' } }
rec_position=client.record_create( cluster_id, rec )

Update a record

Warning Some issues are experimented with record_create/record_upload and OrientDB < 2.0. These command are strongly discouraged with these versions

rec3= { '@my_class': { 'accommodation': 'hotel', 'work': 'home', 'holiday': 'hills' } }
update_success=client.record_update( rec_position._rid, rec_position._rid, rec3, rec_position._version )

Load a record

client.record_load( rec_position._rid )

Load a record with cache

def_my_callback(for_every_record):
print(for_every_record)
client.record_load( rec_position._rid, "*:-1", _my_callback )

Make a query

result=client.query("select from my_class", 10, '*:0')

Make an Async query

def_my_callback(for_every_record):
print(for_every_record)
result=client.query_async("select from my_class", 10, '*:0', _my_callback)

Delete a record

client.record_delete( cluster_id, rec_position._rid )

Drop a DB

client.db_drop( db_name )

Create a new cluster

new_cluster_id=client.data_cluster_add(
'my_cluster_1234567', pyorient.CLUSTER_TYPE_PHYSICAL
)

Reload DB ( refresh clusters info )

client.db_reload()

Get the range of record ids for a cluster

client.data_cluster_data_range( new_cluster_id )

Get the number of records in one or more clusters

client.data_cluster_count( [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 11 ] )

Drop a data cluster

client.data_cluster_drop( new_cluster_id )

Shut down the server. Requires "shutdown" permission to be set in orientdb-server-config.xml file

client.shutdown( "root", "a_super_secret_password" )

Execute OrientDB SQL Batch

cmd= ("begin;""let a = create vertex set script = true;""let b = select from v limit 1;""let e = create edge from $a to $b;""commit retry 100;")
edge_result=self.client.batch(cmd)

Persistent Connections - Session Token

Since version 27 is introduced an extension to allow use a token based session. This functionality must be enabled on the server config.

• In the first negotiation the client can ask for a token based authentication using the client.set_session_token method.
• The server will reply with a token or with an empty string meaning that it not support token based session and is using an old style session.
• For each request, the client will send the token and eventually it will get a new one if token lifetime ends.

When using the token based authentication, the connections can be shared between users of the same server.

client=pyorient.OrientDB("localhost", 2424)
client.set_session_token( True ) # set true to enable the token basedauthenticationclient.db_open( "GratefulDeadConcerts", "admin", "admin" )
### store this token somewheresessionToken=client.get_session_token()
### destroy the old client, equals to another user/socket/ip ecc.delclient### create a new clientclient=pyorient.OrientDB("localhost", 2424)
### set the previous obtained token to re-attach to the old sessionclient.set_session_token( sessionToken )
### now the dbOpen is not needed to perform database operationsrecord=client.query( 'select from V where @rid = #9:1' )
### set the flag again to true if you want to renew the tokenclient.set_session_token( True ) # set trueclient.db_open( "GratefulDeadConcerts", "admin", "admin" )
new_sessionToken=client.get_session_token()
assertsessionToken!=new_sessionToken
