It was initially designed to eliminate the need for hard-coding SQL queries as strings within Python scripts and as an alternative to any bespoke SQL query templating. However, it offers the flexibility to be used in various ways as needed.

Installing athenaSQL

Usage

Using athenaSQL is stright forward. First we create a table abstraction class then building a query is just calling chain methods on top of it.

from athenaSQL import Athena

# creating athena table instance from database
table = Athena('database_name').table('table_name')

# creating athena table instance from database
query = table.select()

query.show_query()
SELECT
    *
FROM "database_name"."table_name"
