Basic Usage

​
MySQLEngine Connection Pool

Before saving or loading documents from MySQL table, we need first configures a connection pool to Cloud SQL database. The MySQLEngine configures a connection pool to your Cloud SQL database, enabling successful connections from your application and following industry best practices. To create a MySQLEngine using MySQLEngine.from_instance() you need to provide only 4 things:
  1. project_id : Project ID of the Google Cloud Project where the Cloud SQL instance is located.
  2. region : Region where the Cloud SQL instance is located.
  3. instance : The name of the Cloud SQL instance.
  4. database : The name of the database to connect to on the Cloud SQL instance.
By default, IAM database authentication will be used as the method of database authentication. This library uses the IAM principal belonging to the Application Default Credentials (ADC) sourced from the envionment. For more informatin on IAM database authentication please see: Optionally, built-in database authentication using a username and password to access the Cloud SQL database can also be used. Just provide the optional user and password arguments to MySQLEngine.from_instance():
  • user : Database user to use for built-in database authentication and login
  • password : Database password to use for built-in database authentication and login.
from langchain_google_cloud_sql_mysql import MySQLEngine

engine = MySQLEngine.from_instance(
    project_id=PROJECT_ID, region=REGION, instance=INSTANCE, database=DATABASE
)

​
Initialize a table

Initialize a table of default schema via MySQLEngine.init_document_table(<table_name>). Table Columns:
  • page_content (type: text)
  • langchain_metadata (type: JSON)
overwrite_existing=True flag means the newly initialized table will replace any existing table of the same name. 
engine.init_document_table(TABLE_NAME, overwrite_existing=True)

​
Save documents

Save langchain documents with MySQLDocumentSaver.add_documents(<documents>). To initialize MySQLDocumentSaver class you need to provide 2 things:
  1. engine - An instance of a MySQLEngine engine.
  2. table_name - The name of the table within the Cloud SQL database to store langchain documents.
from langchain_core.documents import Document
from langchain_google_cloud_sql_mysql import MySQLDocumentSaver

test_docs = [
    Document(
        page_content="Apple Granny Smith 150 0.99 1",
        metadata={"fruit_id": 1},
    ),
    Document(
        page_content="Banana Cavendish 200 0.59 0",
        metadata={"fruit_id": 2},
    ),
    Document(
        page_content="Orange Navel 80 1.29 1",
        metadata={"fruit_id": 3},
    ),
]
saver = MySQLDocumentSaver(engine=engine, table_name=TABLE_NAME)
saver.add_documents(test_docs)

​
Load documents

Load langchain documents with MySQLLoader.load() or MySQLLoader.lazy_load(). lazy_load returns a generator that only queries database during the iteration. To initialize MySQLLoader class you need to provide:
  1. engine - An instance of a MySQLEngine engine.
  2. table_name - The name of the table within the Cloud SQL database to store langchain documents.
from langchain_google_cloud_sql_mysql import MySQLLoader

loader = MySQLLoader(engine=engine, table_name=TABLE_NAME)
docs = loader.lazy_load()
for doc in docs:
    print("Loaded documents:", doc)

​
Load documents via query

Other than loading documents from a table, we can also choose to load documents from a view generated from a SQL query. For example: 
from langchain_google_cloud_sql_mysql import MySQLLoader

loader = MySQLLoader(
    engine=engine,
    query=f"select * from `{TABLE_NAME}` where JSON_EXTRACT(langchain_metadata, '$.fruit_id') = 1;",
)
onedoc = loader.load()
onedoc
The view generated from SQL query can have different schema than default table. In such cases, the behavior of MySQLLoader is the same as loading from table with non-default schema. Please refer to section Load documents with customized document page content & metadata.

​
Delete documents

Delete a list of langchain documents from MySQL table with MySQLDocumentSaver.delete(<documents>). For table with default schema (page_content, langchain_metadata), the deletion criteria is: A row should be deleted if there exists a document in the list, such that
  • document.page_content equals row[page_content]
  • document.metadata equals row[langchain_metadata]
from langchain_google_cloud_sql_mysql import MySQLLoader

loader = MySQLLoader(engine=engine, table_name=TABLE_NAME)
docs = loader.load()
print("Documents before delete:", docs)
saver.delete(onedoc)
print("Documents after delete:", loader.load())

​
Advanced Usage

​
Load documents with customized document page content & metadata

First we prepare an example table with non-default schema, and populate it with some arbitrary data. 
import sqlalchemy

with engine.connect() as conn:
    conn.execute(sqlalchemy.text(f"DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `{TABLE_NAME}`"))
    conn.commit()
    conn.execute(
        sqlalchemy.text(
            f"""
            CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `{TABLE_NAME}`(
                fruit_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                fruit_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
                variety VARCHAR(50),
                quantity_in_stock INT NOT NULL,
                price_per_unit DECIMAL(6,2) NOT NULL,
                organic TINYINT(1) NOT NULL
            )
            """
        )
    )
    conn.execute(
        sqlalchemy.text(
            f"""
            INSERT INTO `{TABLE_NAME}` (fruit_name, variety, quantity_in_stock, price_per_unit, organic)
            VALUES
                ('Apple', 'Granny Smith', 150, 0.99, 1),
                ('Banana', 'Cavendish', 200, 0.59, 0),
                ('Orange', 'Navel', 80, 1.29, 1);
            """
        )
    )
    conn.commit()
If we still load langchain documents with default parameters of MySQLLoader from this example table, the page_content of loaded documents will be the first column of the table, and metadata will be consisting of key-value pairs of all the other columns. 
loader = MySQLLoader(
    engine=engine,
    table_name=TABLE_NAME,
)
loader.load()
We can specify the content and metadata we want to load by setting the content_columns and metadata_columns when initializing the MySQLLoader.
  1. content_columns: The columns to write into the page_content of the document.
  2. metadata_columns: The columns to write into the metadata of the document.
For example here, the values of columns in content_columns will be joined together into a space-separated string, as page_content of loaded documents, and metadata of loaded documents will only contain key-value pairs of columns specified in metadata_columns. 
loader = MySQLLoader(
    engine=engine,
    table_name=TABLE_NAME,
    content_columns=[
        "variety",
        "quantity_in_stock",
        "price_per_unit",
        "organic",
    ],
    metadata_columns=["fruit_id", "fruit_name"],
)
loader.load()

​
Save document with customized page content & metadata

In order to save langchain document into table with customized metadata fields. We need first create such a table via MySQLEngine.init_document_table(), and specify the list of metadata_columns we want it to have. In this example, the created table will have table columns:
  • description (type: text): for storing fruit description.
  • fruit_name (type text): for storing fruit name.
  • organic (type tinyint(1)): to tell if the fruit is organic.
  • other_metadata (type: JSON): for storing other metadata information of the fruit.
We can use the following parameters with MySQLEngine.init_document_table() to create the table:
  1. table_name: The name of the table within the Cloud SQL database to store langchain documents.
  2. metadata_columns: A list of sqlalchemy.Column indicating the list of metadata columns we need.
  3. content_column: The name of column to store page_content of langchain document. Default: page_content.
  4. metadata_json_column: The name of JSON column to store extra metadata of langchain document. Default: langchain_metadata.
engine.init_document_table(
    TABLE_NAME,
    metadata_columns=[
        sqlalchemy.Column(
            "fruit_name",
            sqlalchemy.UnicodeText,
            primary_key=False,
            nullable=True,
        ),
        sqlalchemy.Column(
            "organic",
            sqlalchemy.Boolean,
            primary_key=False,
            nullable=True,
        ),
    ],
    content_column="description",
    metadata_json_column="other_metadata",
    overwrite_existing=True,
)
Save documents with MySQLDocumentSaver.add_documents(<documents>). As you can see in this example,
  • document.page_content will be saved into description column.
  • document.metadata.fruit_name will be saved into fruit_name column.
  • document.metadata.organic will be saved into organic column.
  • document.metadata.fruit_id will be saved into other_metadata column in JSON format.
test_docs = [
    Document(
        page_content="Granny Smith 150 0.99",
        metadata={"fruit_id": 1, "fruit_name": "Apple", "organic": 1},
    ),
]
saver = MySQLDocumentSaver(
    engine=engine,
    table_name=TABLE_NAME,
    content_column="description",
    metadata_json_column="other_metadata",
)
saver.add_documents(test_docs)

with engine.connect() as conn:
    result = conn.execute(sqlalchemy.text(f"select * from `{TABLE_NAME}`;"))
    print(result.keys())
    print(result.fetchall())

​
Delete documents with customized page content & metadata

We can also delete documents from table with customized metadata columns via MySQLDocumentSaver.delete(<documents>). The deletion criteria is: A row should be deleted if there exists a document in the list, such that
  • document.page_content equals row[page_content]
  • For every metadata field k in document.metadata
    • document.metadata[k] equals row[k] or document.metadata[k] equals row[langchain_metadata][k]
  • There no extra metadata field presents in row but not in document.metadata.
loader = MySQLLoader(engine=engine, table_name=TABLE_NAME)
docs = loader.load()
print("Documents before delete:", docs)
saver.delete(docs)
print("Documents after delete:", loader.load())
