DuckDB + Polars (dagster-duckdb-polars)

This library provides an integration with the DuckDB database and Polars data processing library.

dagster_duckdb_polars.DuckDBPolarsIOManager IOManagerDefinition[source]

Config Schema:
database (dagster.StringSource):

Path to the DuckDB database.

schema (Union[dagster.StringSource, None], optional):

Name of the schema to use.

An I/O manager definition that reads inputs from and writes Polars DataFrames to DuckDB. When using the DuckDBPolarsIOManager, any inputs and outputs without type annotations will be loaded as Polars DataFrames.

Returns:

IOManagerDefinition

Examples

from dagster_duckdb_polars import DuckDBPolarsIOManager

@asset(
    key_prefix=["my_schema"]  # will be used as the schema in DuckDB
)
def my_table() -> pl.DataFrame:  # the name of the asset will be the table name
    ...

defs = Definitions(
    assets=[my_table],
    resources={"io_manager": DuckDBPolarsIOManager(database="my_db.duckdb")}
)

If you do not provide a schema, Dagster will determine a schema based on the assets and ops using the I/O Manager. For assets, the schema will be determined from the asset key, as in the above example. For ops, the schema can be specified by including a “schema” entry in output metadata. If “schema” is not provided via config or on the asset/op, “public” will be used for the schema.

@op(
    out={"my_table": Out(metadata={"schema": "my_schema"})}
)
def make_my_table() -> pl.DataFrame:
    # the returned value will be stored at my_schema.my_table
    ...

To only use specific columns of a table as input to a downstream op or asset, add the metadata “columns” to the In or AssetIn.

@asset(
    ins={"my_table": AssetIn("my_table", metadata={"columns": ["a"]})}
)
def my_table_a(my_table: pl.DataFrame) -> pl.DataFrame:
    # my_table will just contain the data from column "a"
    ...

class dagster_duckdb_polars.DuckDBPolarsTypeHandler[source]

Stores and loads Polars DataFrames in DuckDB.

To use this type handler, return it from the type_handlers` method of an I/O manager that inherits from ``DuckDBIOManager.

Example

from dagster_duckdb import DuckDBIOManager
from dagster_duckdb_polars import DuckDBPolarsTypeHandler

class MyDuckDBIOManager(DuckDBIOManager):
    @staticmethod
    def type_handlers() -> Sequence[DbTypeHandler]:
        return [DuckDBPolarsTypeHandler()]

@asset(
    key_prefix=["my_schema"]  # will be used as the schema in duckdb
)
def my_table() -> pl.DataFrame:  # the name of the asset will be the table name
    ...

defs = Definitions(
    assets=[my_table],
    resources={"io_manager": MyDuckDBIOManager(database="my_db.duckdb")}
)
