Basic Usage

import datetime
import edgedb

def main():
    # Establish a connection to an existing database named "test"
    # as an "edgedb" user.
    conn = edgedb.connect('edgedb://edgedb@localhost/test')
    # Create a User object type
    conn.execute('''
        CREATE TYPE User {
            CREATE REQUIRED PROPERTY name -> str;
            CREATE PROPERTY dob -> local_date;
        }
    ''')

    # Insert a new User object
    conn.fetchall('''
        INSERT User {
            name := <str>$name,
            dob := <local_date>$dob
        }
    ''', name='Bob', dob=datetime.date(1984, 3, 1))

    # Select User objects.
    user_set = conn.fetchall(
        'SELECT User {name, dob} FILTER .name = <str>$name', name='Bob')
    # *user_set* now contains
    # Set{Object{name := 'Bob', dob := datetime.date(1984, 3, 1)}}

    # Close the connection.
    conn.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
