# Session Example/Tour

This example shows using APSW to create and use the Session extension

    # This code uses Python's optional typing annotations.  You can
    # ignore them and do not need to use them.  If you do use them
    # then you must include this future annotations line first.
    from __future__ import annotations

    import apsw
    import apsw.ext

## Is Session available?

Session must be enabled in SQLite at compile time, and in APSW at its compile time. (PyPI builds always have both enabled)

    print("Session in SQLite:", "ENABLE_SESSION" in apsw.compile_options)

    print("  Session in APSW:", hasattr(apsw, "Session"))

    Session in SQLite: True
      Session in APSW: True

## Initial database setup

The database is populated with an items table, a tags table, and a link table allowing multiple tags per item. It has foreign keys and a trigger which cause changes beyond the supplied SQL so we can see how session handles that. See the full SQL

    connection = apsw.Connection("")

    connection.execute(pathlib.Path("session.sql").read_text())

## Monitoring changes

You can have multiple `Session` monitoring changes on a session. You need to call `Session.attach()` to say which tables to monitor, or use `Session.table_filter()` to get a callback. You can pause and resume monitoring with `Session.enabled`. For unmonitored changes you can use `Session.diff()` to work out the changes between two tables.

    session = apsw.Session(connection, "main")

    # enabled by default.  You can set it to False while making
    # changes you do not want recorded. It only stops recording
    # changes to rows not already part of the changeset.
    print(f"{session.enabled=}")

    # We'd like size estimates
    session.config(apsw.SQLITE_SESSION_OBJCONFIG_SIZE, True)

    # we now say which tables to monitor - no tables are monitored by default.
    # The tables must have PRIMARY KEY in their declaration otherwise
    # nothing is recorded.
    def table_filter(name: str) -> bool:
        print(f"table_filter {name=}")
        # We want them all
        return True

    # We could also have done session.attach() to get all tables
    # or attach with named tables of interest.
    session.table_filter(table_filter)

    # And now make some changes.  We do every kind of change here -
    # INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
    connection.execute("""
    INSERT INTO items(name) VALUES('kitchen walls');
    INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id)  VALUES(
        (SELECT id FROM items WHERE name='kitchen walls'),
        (SELECT id FROM tags WHERE label='paint')
    );
    INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id)  VALUES(
        (SELECT id FROM items WHERE name='kitchen walls'),
        (SELECT id FROM tags WHERE label='cleaning')
    );

    INSERT INTO items(name) VALUES('microwave');

    UPDATE items SET description='high gloss' WHERE name='bathroom ceiling';
    UPDATE tags SET cost_centre=null WHERE label='new';

    DELETE FROM tags WHERE label='battery';
    """)

    # How much memory is the session using?
    print(f"{session.memory_used=}")

    session.enabled=True
    table_filter name='items'
    table_filter name='item_tag_link'
    table_filter name='tags'
    session.memory_used=7352

## SQL equivalent of a changeset

We can iterate the contents of a changeset as SQL statements using `apsw.ext.changeset_to_sql()`. It needs to know the column names because changesets only use column numbers, so we use `apsw.ext.find_columns()` giving it the connection to inspect.

    def show_changeset(
        title: str,
        contents: apsw.SessionStreamInput,
        connection: apsw.Connection = connection,
    ):
        print(title)
        for statement in apsw.ext.changeset_to_sql(
            contents,
            get_columns=functools.partial(
                apsw.ext.find_columns, connection=connection
            ),
        ):
            print(statement)
        print()

## Patchsets and Changesets

Changesets contain all the before and after values for changed rows, while patchsets only contain the necessary values to make the change. `apsw.ext.changeset_to_sql()` is useful to see what SQL a change or patch set is equivalent to.

    patchset = session.patchset()
    print(f"{len(patchset)=}")

    show_changeset("patchset", patchset)

    # Note how the changeset is larger and contains more information
    changeset = session.changeset()
    print(f"{len(changeset)=}")

    show_changeset("changeset", changeset)

    len(patchset)=241
    patchset
    INSERT INTO items(id, name, description) VALUES ('CB939E', 'kitchen walls', NULL);
    INSERT INTO items(id, name, description) VALUES ('8D7EAA', 'microwave', NULL);
    UPDATE items SET description='high gloss' WHERE id = '538330';
    /* indirect */ DELETE FROM item_tag_link WHERE item_id = 'FF62A9' AND tag_id = '0DF6AE';
    /* indirect */ INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id, reason) VALUES ('8D7EAA', 'CDF065', 'system');
    INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id, reason) VALUES ('CB939E', '20CE0A', NULL);
    /* indirect */ INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id, reason) VALUES ('CB939E', 'CDF065', 'system');
    INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id, reason) VALUES ('CB939E', '58EA1C', NULL);
    DELETE FROM tags WHERE id = '0DF6AE';
    UPDATE tags SET cost_centre=NULL WHERE id = 'CDF065';

    len(changeset)=274
    changeset
    INSERT INTO items(id, name, description) VALUES ('CB939E', 'kitchen walls', NULL);
    INSERT INTO items(id, name, description) VALUES ('8D7EAA', 'microwave', NULL);
    UPDATE items SET description='high gloss' WHERE id = '538330' AND description IS NULL;
    /* indirect */ DELETE FROM item_tag_link WHERE item_id = 'FF62A9' AND tag_id = '0DF6AE' AND reason IS NULL;
    /* indirect */ INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id, reason) VALUES ('8D7EAA', 'CDF065', 'system');
    INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id, reason) VALUES ('CB939E', '20CE0A', NULL);
    /* indirect */ INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id, reason) VALUES ('CB939E', 'CDF065', 'system');
    INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id, reason) VALUES ('CB939E', '58EA1C', NULL);
    DELETE FROM tags WHERE id = '0DF6AE' AND label = 'battery' AND cost_centre = 300;
    UPDATE tags SET cost_centre=NULL WHERE id = 'CDF065' AND cost_centre = 100;

## Inverting - undo, redo

We can get the opposite of a changeset which can then form the basis of an undo/redo implementation. One pattern is to have a table where you store changesets allowing for a later undo or redo.

    # Yes, it is this easy
    undo = apsw.Changeset.invert(changeset)

    # Compare this to the changeset above, to see how it does the
    # opposite.
    show_changeset("undo", undo)

    undo
    DELETE FROM items WHERE id = 'CB939E' AND name = 'kitchen walls' AND description IS NULL;
    DELETE FROM items WHERE id = '8D7EAA' AND name = 'microwave' AND description IS NULL;
    UPDATE items SET description=NULL WHERE id = '538330' AND description = 'high gloss';
    /* indirect */ INSERT INTO item_tag_link(item_id, tag_id, reason) VALUES ('FF62A9', '0DF6AE', NULL);
    /* indirect */ DELETE FROM item_tag_link WHERE item_id = '8D7EAA' AND tag_id = 'CDF065' AND reason = 'system';
    DELETE FROM item_tag_link WHERE item_id = 'CB939E' AND tag_id = '20CE0A' AND reason IS NULL;
    /* indirect */ DELETE FROM item_tag_link WHERE item_id = 'CB939E' AND tag_id = 'CDF065' AND reason = 'system';
    DELETE FROM item_tag_link WHERE item_id = 'CB939E' AND tag_id = '58EA1C' AND reason IS NULL;
    INSERT INTO tags(id, label, cost_centre) VALUES ('0DF6AE', 'battery', 300);
    UPDATE tags SET cost_centre=100 WHERE id = 'CDF065' AND cost_centre IS NULL;

## Applying changesets

We can filter which tables or changes get affected when `applying a changeset` (default all), and can define a conflict handler (default abort the transaction). Conflicts are described here. We are going to undo our earlier changes.

    # However it is going to fail ...
    try:
        apsw.Changeset.apply(undo, connection)
    except apsw.AbortError as exc:
        # It will fail, and the database back in the state when we started
        # the apply.
        print(f"Exception {exc=}")

    # The reason it failed is because of the foreign keys automatically
    # removing rows in the link table when members of items and tags got
    # removed.  Lets do it again, but save the failed changes for
    # inspection.

    failed = apsw.ChangesetBuilder()

    # And make some deliberate conflicts
    connection.execute("""
        UPDATE items SET description = 'Orange flavour' WHERE name = 'bathroom ceiling';
        -- Refuse deletes to make constraint failure on delete
        CREATE TRIGGER prevent_microwave_deletion
        BEFORE DELETE ON items
            FOR EACH ROW
            WHEN OLD.name = 'microwave'
            BEGIN

    # A conflict handler says what to do
    def conflict_handler(reason: int, change: apsw.TableChange) -> int:
        # Print the failure information
        print(
            "conflict",

## Synchronising changes made by two users

Alice and Bob are going to separately work on the same database and we are going to synchronise their changes.

You will notice that the databases did not end up identical. This is because foreign keys, triggers, and the changesets are all fighting each other. You need to be careful when using all of them at the same time. See ChangesetBuilder next where you can make your own changesets for these more complicated situations.

    # Start from the same database
    alice_connection = apsw.Connection("alice.db")
    with alice_connection.backup("main", connection, "main") as backup:
        backup.step()

    bob_connection = apsw.Connection("bob.db")
    with bob_connection.backup("main", connection, "main") as backup:
        backup.step()

    # setup sessions
    alice_session = apsw.Session(alice_connection, "main")
    alice_session.attach()

## ChangesetBuilder

The `ChangesetBuilder` can be used to combine multiple changesets, individual `table changes`, plus your own changes.

In the first part we’ll build up all the changes to the `items` table from multiple changesets. `ChangesetBuilder.schema()` is used to ensure the changes map to the expected database table structure (names, primary keys, number of columns).

The second part is making our own changes.

    items = apsw.ChangesetBuilder()

    items.schema(connection, "main")

    for source in (changeset, alice_changeset, bob_changeset):
        for change in apsw.Changeset.iter(source):
            if change.name == "items":
                items.add_change(change)

    only_items = items.output()

    show_changeset("Only items table changes", only_items)
    items.close()

    # Make our own
    builder = apsw.ChangesetBuilder()

    # The builder normally works out whether to be a changeset or a
    # patchset based on which of those gets added to it first.  Here we
    # will make it a patchset.  The output shown at the end has less
    # information as a result, with delete and update not showing
    # original values.
    builder.config(apsw.SQLITE_CHANGEGROUP_CONFIG_PATCHSET, 1)

    # You won't be able to add anything unless the schema can be
    # verified - eg it needs to know which columns are the primary
    # key.
    builder.schema(connection, "main")

    connection.execute("CREATE TABLE manual(one, two, three, four, five, PRIMARY KEY(two, four));")

    builder.add_insert("manual", True, ("one", 1, 1.1, b"\x01\x01\x01", None))
    builder.add_delete("manual", True, ("two", 2, None, b"\x02\x02\x02", 2.2))

    # updates require the old and new rows. but new can't change the primary keys
    # so use no_change for those columns
    builder.add_update("manual", False, ("three", 3, 3.3, b"\x04\x04\x04", None),
                       ("thirty", apsw.no_change, 30.30, apsw.no_change, 30))

    show_changeset("Manual builder", builder.output())

    Only items table changes

## Streaming

The changesets above were all produced as a single bytes in memory all at once. For larger changesets we can read and write them in chunks, such as with blobs, files, or network connections.

    # Use a positive number to set that size
    chunk_size = apsw.session_config(
        apsw.SQLITE_SESSION_CONFIG_STRMSIZE, -1
    )
    print("default chunk size", chunk_size)

    # Some changes to make the changeset larger.  The size is an estimate.
    print(f"Before estimate {session.changeset_size=}")
    for i in "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz":
        connection.execute(
            "INSERT INTO items(name, description) VALUES(?, ?)",
            (i * 1234, i * 1234),
        )
    print(f"After estimate {session.changeset_size=}")

    # We'll write to a file
    out = tempfile.TemporaryFile("w+b")

    num_writes = 0

    def write(data: memoryview) -> None:
        global num_writes
        num_writes += 1
        res = out.write(data)
        # The streamer must write all bytes
        assert res == len(data)

    session.changeset_stream(write)

    print("Output file size is", out.tell())
    print("Number of writes", num_writes)

    # Lets read from the same file, using the streaming iterator
    out.seek(0)
    num_reads = 0

    def read(amount: int) -> bytes:
        global num_reads
        num_reads += 1
        return out.read(amount)

    num_changes = 0
    for change in apsw.Changeset.iter(read):
        num_changes += 1

    print("Number of reads", num_reads)
    print("Number of changes", num_changes)

    default chunk size 1024
    Before estimate session.changeset_size=281
    After estimate session.changeset_size=65541
    Output file size is 65387
    Number of writes 27
    Number of reads 65
    Number of changes 56

## Rebasing

You can merge conflict decisions from an earlier changeset into a later changeset so that you don’t have to separately transport and store those conflict decisions. This can be used to take independently made changesets, and turn them into a linear sequence. The rebaser documentation includes more detail.

To do a rebase, you need to take the conflict resolutions from an `Changeset.apply()` to `Rebaser.configure()`, and then `Rebaser.rebase()` a following changeset.

We are going to make alice then bob appear to have been done in that order without conflicts.

    # Reset back to original data with the base changeset applied
    connection.execute("""
        DROP TABLE item_tag_link;
        DROP TABLE items;
        DROP TABLE tags;
    """)

    connection.execute(pathlib.Path("session.sql").read_text())

    # The conflict handler we'll use doing latest writer wins - you should
    # be more careful.
    def conflict_handler(reason: int, change: apsw.TableChange) -> int:
        if reason in (
            apsw.SQLITE_CHANGESET_DATA,
            apsw.SQLITE_CHANGESET_CONFLICT,
        ):
            return apsw.SQLITE_CHANGESET_REPLACE
        return apsw.SQLITE_CHANGESET_OMIT

    # apply original changeset that alice was based on
    apsw.Changeset.apply(changeset, connection, conflict=conflict_handler)

    # Make a rebaser
    rebaser = apsw.Rebaser()

    # save these conflict resolutions
    conflict_resolutions = apsw.Changeset.apply(
        alice_changeset,
        connection,
        conflict=conflict_handler,
        rebase=True,
    )

    rebaser.configure(conflict_resolutions)

    # and apply them to bob's
    bob_rebased = rebaser.rebase(bob_changeset)

## Table diff

`Session.diff()` can be used to get the difference between a table in another database and this database. This is useful if the other database was updated without a session being recorded. Note that the table must have a `PRIMARY KEY`, or it will be ignored.

    diff_demo = apsw.Connection("diff_demo.db")

    diff_demo.execute("""
        -- our session runs on this
        CREATE TABLE example(x PRIMARY KEY, y, z);
        INSERT INTO example VALUES
                (1, 'one', 1.1),
                (2, 'two', 2.2),
                (3, 'three', 3.3);

        -- the other database
        ATTACH 'other.db' AS other;
        -- the table has to have the same name, primary key, and columns
        CREATE TABLE other.example(x PRIMARY KEY, y, z);
        INSERT INTO other.example VALUES
                -- extra row
                (0, 'zero', 0.0),
                -- id 1 deliberately missing
                (2, 'two', 2.2),
                -- different values
                (3, 'trois', 'hello');
    """)

    session = apsw.Session(diff_demo, "main")

    # You must attach (or filter) to include the table
    session.attach("example")

    session.diff("other", "example")

    diff = session.changeset()

    show_changeset("Table diff", diff, diff_demo)

    Table diff
    DELETE FROM example WHERE x = 0 AND y = 'zero' AND z = 0.0;
    INSERT INTO example(x, y, z) VALUES (1, 'one', 1.1);
    UPDATE example SET y='three', z=3.3 WHERE x = 3 AND y = 'trois' AND z = 'hello';

## Cleanup

We can now close the connections, but it is optional. APSW automatically cleans up sessions when their corresponding connections are closed.

    connection.close()
    alice_connection.close()
    bob_connection.close()
