Create objects
This document describes how to create databases, columns in databases, and folders (workspaces) in the Deep Origin data hub.
Folders¶
Folders can be created by specifying a name, and, optionally, a parent.
If no parent is specified, the folder will be created at the root level.
deeporigin data new folder --name <name>
To create a folder within another folder, specify the parent:
deeporigin data new folder \
--name <name> \
--parent <parent-id>
from deeporigin.data_hub import api
api.create_workspace(name="test-folder")
To create a folder within another folder, specify the parent:
api.create_workspace(
name="test-folder-2",
parent_id="parent-id",
)
Databases¶
Databases can be created by specifying a name, and, optionally, a parent.
If no parent is specified, the database will be created at the root level.
deeporigin data new --name <name> --database
To create a folder within another folder, specify the parent:
deeporigin data new database \
--name <name> \
--parent <parent-id>
from deeporigin.data_hub import api
api.create_database(name="test-database")
To create a folder within another folder, specify the parent:
api.create_database(
name="test-database-2",
parent_id="parent-id",
)
Database columns¶
Work in progress
Currently, this package has limited support for creating database columns. We plan to expand the capabilities of this package.
To create a new database column in an existing database, run:
deeporigin data new column \
--name <name> \
--database <database-id> \
--type <type>
from deeporigin.data_hub import api
api.add_database_column(
database_id="existing-database-id",
type="integer",
name="unique-name",
)
This code creates a new column in the existing database. To configure the type of the column, use the type argument. The type must a member of DataType.
