Parameters ---------- query SQL query to execute (if using a SQLAlchemy connection object this can be a suitable "Selectable", otherwise it is expected to be a string). connection An instantiated connection (or cursor/client object) that the query can be executed against. Can also pass a valid ODBC connection string (identified as such if it contains the string "Driver={...}"), in which case the `arrow-odbc` package will be used to establish the connection and return Arrow-native data to Polars. Async driver connections are also supported, though this is currently considered unstable. If using SQLAlchemy, you can configure the connection's `execution_options` before passing to `read_database` to refine its behaviour (see the `iter_batches` parameter for an example where this can be useful). .. warning:: Use of asynchronous connections is currently considered **unstable**, and unexpected issues may arise; if this happens, please report them. iter_batches Return an iterator of DataFrames, where each DataFrame represents a batch of data returned by the query; this can be useful for processing large resultsets in a more memory-efficient manner. If supported by the backend, this value is passed to the underlying query execution method (note that lower values will typically result in poor performance as they will cause many round-trips to the database). If the backend does not support changing the batch size then a single DataFrame is yielded from the iterator. .. note:: If using SQLALchemy, you may also want to pass `stream_results=True` to the connection's `execution_options` method when setting this parameter, which will establish a server-side cursor; without this option some drivers (such as "psycopg2") will still materialise the entire result set client-side before batching the result locally. batch_size Indicate the size of each batch when `iter_batches` is True (note that you can still set this when `iter_batches` is False, in which case the resulting DataFrame is constructed internally using batched return before being returned to you. Note that some backends (such as Snowflake) may support batch operation but not allow for an explicit size to be set; in this case you will still receive batches but their size is determined by the backend (in which case any value set here will be ignored). schema_overrides A dictionary mapping column names to dtypes, used to override the schema inferred from the query cursor or given by the incoming Arrow data (depending on driver/backend). This can be useful if the given types can be more precisely defined (for example, if you know that a given column can be declared as `u32` instead of `i64`). infer_schema_length The maximum number of rows to scan for schema inference. If set to `None`, the full data may be scanned *(this can be slow)*. This parameter only applies if the data is read as a sequence of rows and the `schema_overrides` parameter is not set for the given column; Arrow-aware drivers also ignore this value. execute_options These options will be passed through into the underlying query execution method as kwargs. In the case of connections made using an ODBC string (which use `arrow-odbc`) these options are passed to the `read_arrow_batches_from_odbc` method. Notes ----- * This function supports a wide range of native database drivers (ranging from local databases such as SQLite to large cloud databases such as Snowflake), as well as generic libraries such as ADBC, SQLAlchemy and various flavours of ODBC. If the backend supports returning Arrow data directly then this facility will be used to efficiently instantiate the DataFrame; otherwise, the DataFrame is initialised from row-wise data. * Support for Arrow Flight SQL data is available via the `adbc-driver-flightsql` package; see https://arrow.apache.org/adbc/current/driver/flight_sql.html for more details about using this driver (notable databases implementing Flight SQL include Dremio and InfluxDB). * The `read_database_uri` function can be noticeably faster than `read_database` if you are using a SQLAlchemy or DBAPI2 connection, as `connectorx` and `adbc` optimise translation of the result set into Arrow format. Note that you can determine a connection's URI from a SQLAlchemy engine object by calling `conn.engine.url.render_as_string(hide_password=False)`. * If Polars has to create a cursor from your connection in order to execute the query then that cursor will be automatically closed when the query completes; however, Polars will *never* close any other open connection or cursor. * Polars is able to support more than just relational databases and SQL queries through this function. For example, you can load local graph database results from a `KùzuDB` connection in conjunction with a Cypher query, or use SurrealQL with SurrealDB.

Can be used to set runtime configurations using SET statements. Only applicable for Postgres and MySQL source. Only applicable with the connectorx engine. .. warning:: This functionality is considered **unstable**. It may be changed at any point without it being considered a breaking change. Notes ----- For `connectorx`, ensure that you have `connectorx>=0.3.2`. The documentation is available `here `_. For `adbc` you will need to have installed the ADBC driver associated with the backend you are connecting to, eg: `adbc-driver-postgresql`. For versions of `adbc-driver-manager` < 1.7.0, `pyarrow` is also required. If your password contains special characters, you will need to escape them. This will usually require the use of a URL-escaping function, for example: >>> from urllib.parse import quote, quote_plus >>> quote_plus("pass word?") 'pass+word%3F' >>> quote("pass word?")
