The :class:`Column <hustle.core.marble.Column>` class overrides all of Python's comparison operators, which, along with the *&*, *|* and *~* logical operators allows you to build arbitrarily complex column selection expressions like this:: select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where=((imps.date >= '2014-01-21') & (imps.date <= '2014-01-23')) | ~(imps.site_id == 'google.com)) Note that for these expressions, the column must come first. This means that the following expression is **illegal**:: select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where='2014-01-27' == imps.date) Where clause also supports *in* and *not in* statements by using special operators "<<" and ">>" respectively:: select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where=imps.ad_id << [1000, 1005]) select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where=imps.ad_id >> [1000, 1005]) Note that the right value "<<" and ">>" could be any type of iterable with each element must be a valid single right value. In addition, multiple tables can be specified in the where clause like this:: select(imps.ad_id, pix.amount, where=(imps.date < '2014-01-13', pix)) which specifies an expression, :code:`imps.date < '2014-01-13'` and a :class:`Table <hustle.Table>` tuple.

Alternatively, you can specify a column by using a string with either the name of the column or the *table.column* string notation. Furthermore, you can also represent the column using a zero based index of the *projected* columns. This last case would be used for *Aggregations*. Here are a few examples:: select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where=imps, order_by=imps.date) select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where=imps, order_by=(imps.date, imps.ad_id)) select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where=imps, order_by='date') select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where=imps, order_by='imps.date') select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where=imps, order_by=('date', imps.ad_id)) select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, imps.cpm_millis, where=imps, order_by=('date', 2)) select(imps.ad_id, imps.date, h_sum(imps.cpm_millis), where=imps, order_by=2) :type desc: boolean :param desc: affects sort order of the *order_by clause* to descending (default ascending) :type distinct: boolean :param distinct: indicates whether to remove duplicates in results :type limit: int :param limit: limits the total number of records in the output :type nest: boolean (default = False) :param nest: specify that the return value is a :class:`Table <hustle.Table>` to be used in another query This allows us to build nested queries. You may want to do this to join more than two tables, or to reuse the results of a query in more than one subsequent query. For example:: active_pix = select(*star(pix), where=pix.isActive > 0, nest=True) select(h_sum(active_pix.amount), where=active_pix) :type kwargs: dict :param kwargs: custom settings for this query see :mod:`hustle.core.settings` """ from hustle import _get_blobs from hustle.core.settings import Settings from hustle.core.pipeline import SelectPipe from hustle.core.util import ensure_list settings = Settings(**kwargs) wheres = ensure_list(settings.pop('where', ())) order_by = ensure_list(settings.pop('order_by', ())) join = settings.pop('join', ()) distinct = settings.pop('distinct', False) desc = settings.pop('desc', False) limit = settings.pop('limit', None) ddfs = settings['ddfs'] autodump = settings['dump'] partition = settings.get('partition', 0) if partition < 0: partition = 0 nest = settings.get('nest', False) try: check_query(project, join, order_by, limit, wheres) except ValueError as e: print " Invalid query:\n %s" % e return None name = '-'.join([where._name for where in wheres])[:64] job_blobs = set() for where in wheres: job_blobs.update(tuple(sorted(w)) for w in _get_blobs(where, ddfs)) job = SelectPipe(settings['server'], wheres=wheres, project=project, order_by=order_by, join=join, distinct=distinct, desc=desc, limit=limit, partition=partition, nest=nest) job.run(name='select_from_%s' % name, input=job_blobs, **settings) blobs = job.wait() if nest: rtab = job.get_result_schema(project) rtab._blobs = blobs return rtab elif autodump: # the result will be just dumped to stdout cols = [c.name for c in project] _print_separator(80) _print_line(cols, width=80, cols=len(cols), alignments=[_ALG_RIGHT if c.is_numeric else _ALG_LEFT for c in project]) _print_separator(80) dump(blobs, 80) return return blobs
