sqlalchemy-trino

Trino (f.k.a PrestoSQL) dialect for SQLAlchemy.

The primary purpose of this is provide a dialect for Trino that can be used with Apache Superset. But other use-cases should works as well.

Supported Trino version

Trino version 352 and higher

Installation

The driver can either be installed through PyPi or from the source code.

Through Python Package Index

pip install sqlalchemy-trino

Latest from Source Code

pip install git+https://github.com/dungdm93/sqlalchemy-trino

Usage

To connect from SQLAlchemy to Trino, use connection string (URL) following this pattern:

trino://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/catalog/[schema]

JWT authentication

You can pass the JWT token via either connect_args or the query string parameter accessToken:

from sqlalchemy.engine import create_engine
from trino.auth import JWTAuthentication

# pass access token via connect_args
engine = create_engine(
  'trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/',
  connect_args={'auth': JWTAuthentication('a-jwt-token')},
)

# pass access token via the query string param accessToken
engine = create_engine(
  'trino://<username>@<host>:<port>/?accessToken=a-jwt-token',
)

Notice: When using username and password, it will connect to Trino over TLS connection automatically.

User impersonation

It supports user impersonation with username and password based authentication only.

You can pass the session user (a.k.a., the user that will be impersonated) via either connect_args or the query string parameter sessionUser:

from sqlalchemy.engine import create_engine

# pass session user via connect_args
engine = create_engine(
  'trino://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/',
  connect_args={'user': 'user-to-be-impersonated'},
)

# pass session user via a query string parameter
engine = create_engine(
  'trino://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/?sessionUser=user-to-be-impersonated',
)
