Parameters:

pathstr or None, optional: Path to configuration file.
envVarstr or None, optional: Name of environment variable pointing to configuration file.
authListlist [dict] or None, optional: Authentication configuration.

Methods Summary

`getAuth`(dialectname, username, host, port, ...)	Retrieve a username and password for a database connection.
`getUrl`(url)	Fill in a username and password in a database connection URL.

Methods Documentation

getAuth(dialectname: Optional[str], username: Optional[str], host: Optional[str], port: Optional[Union[int, str]], database: Optional[str]) → Tuple[Optional[str], str]¶

Retrieve a username and password for a database connection.

This function matches elements from the database connection URL with glob-like URL patterns in a list of configuration dictionaries.

Parameters:

dialectnamestr: Database dialect, for example sqlite, mysql, postgresql, oracle, or mssql.
usernamestr or None: Username from connection URL if present.
hoststr: Host name from connection URL if present.
portstr or int or None: Port from connection URL if present.
databasestr: Database name from connection URL.

Returns:

username: str: Username to use for database connection; same as parameter if present.
password: str: Password to use for database connection.

Raises:

DbAuthError: Raised if the input is missing elements, an authorization dictionary is missing elements, the authorization file is misconfigured, or no matching authorization is found.

Notes

The list of authorization configuration dictionaries is tested in order, with the first matching dictionary used. Each dictionary must contain a url item with a pattern to match against the database connection URL and a password item. If no username is provided in the database connection URL, the dictionary must also contain a username item.

The url item must begin with a dialect and is not allowed to specify dialect+driver.

Glob-style patterns (using “*” and “?” as wildcards) can be used to match the host and database name portions of the connection URL. For the username, port, and database name portions, omitting them from the pattern matches against any value in the connection URL.

Examples

The connection URL postgresql://user@host.example.com:5432/my_database matches against the identical string as a pattern. Other patterns that would match include:

postgresql://*
postgresql://*.example.com
postgresql://*.example.com/my_*
postgresql://host.example.com/my_database
postgresql://host.example.com:5432/my_database
postgresql://user@host.example.com/my_database

Note that the connection URL postgresql://host.example.com/my_database would not match against the pattern postgresql://host.example.com:5432, even if the default port for the connection is 5432.

getUrl(url: str) → str¶

Fill in a username and password in a database connection URL.

This function parses the URL and calls getAuth.

Parameters:

urlstr: Database connection URL.

Returns:

urlstr: Database connection URL with username and password.

Raises:

DbAuthError: Raised if the input is missing elements, an authorization dictionary is missing elements, the authorization file is misconfigured, or no matching authorization is found.
