Server

class tinyolap.server.Server

Represents a TinyOlap server instance serving one or more databases. Only needed when multiple databases need to be served through a single object.

add_database(database: tinyolap.database.Database) → tinyolap.database.Database

Adds a database to the server :param database: The database to be added.

create_database(name: str, in_memory: bool = True, overwrite_existing: bool = False)

Creates a new database. If parameter in_memory``is set to ``True, no database file will be created. For that case, all changes made to the database and data entered or imported will be lost after your application has shut down.

If parameter in_memory``is set to ``False (the default settings), then a database file will be created in the folder ‘db’ aside your script root. If a database with the same name already exists, then the old database file will be renamed and a new database file will be created. Renaming simply appends a timestamp.

Danger

If parameter in_memory``is set to ``True and parameter overwrite_existing is also set to True then an any existing database file will be deleted/overwritten.

Parameters

overwrite_existing – Identifies that an already existing database file with the

same name will be overwritten. :param name: The name of the database to be created. Special characters are not supported for database names. :param in_memory: Defines if the database should operate in-memory only, without persistence (all data will be lost after your application will shut down) or, if set to False, with an SQLite file storage_provider.

deletes_database(name: str)

Deletes a database from the filesystem. Handle with care.

open_database(database_file: str)

Opens an existing database.

database_filestr

A full qualified path to database file.

reinitialize()

Re-initializes the server. This forces all allocated resources to be released.
