<h2>Parameterized queries<a class="headerlink" href="#parameterized-queries" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>In DataFusion-Python 51.0.0 we introduced the ability to pass parameters
in a SQL query. These are similar in concept to
<a class="reference external" href="https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/sql/prepared_statements.html">prepared statements</a>,
but allow passing named parameters into a SQL query. Consider this simple
example.</p>

<p>When passing parameters like the example above we convert the Python objects
into their string representation. We also have special case handling
for <a class="reference internal" href="../autoapi/datafusion/dataframe/index.html#datafusion.dataframe.DataFrame" title="datafusion.dataframe.DataFrame"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DataFrame</span></code></a> objects, since they cannot simply
be turned into string representations for an SQL query. In these cases we
will register a temporary view in the <a class="reference internal" href="../autoapi/datafusion/context/index.html#datafusion.context.SessionContext" title="datafusion.context.SessionContext"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SessionContext</span></code></a>
using a generated table name.</p>
<p>The formatting for passing string replacement objects is to precede the
variable name with a single <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$</span></code>. This works for all dialects in
the SQL parser except <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hive</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mysql</span></code>. Since these dialects do not
support named placeholders, we are unable to do this type of replacement.
We recommend either switching to another dialect or using Python
f-string style replacement.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>To support DataFrame parameterized queries, your session must support
registration of temporary views. The default
<a class="reference internal" href="../autoapi/datafusion/catalog/index.html#datafusion.catalog.CatalogProvider" title="datafusion.catalog.CatalogProvider"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CatalogProvider</span></code></a> and

If you have implemented custom providers, it is important that temporary
views do not persist across <a class="reference internal" href="../autoapi/datafusion/context/index.html#datafusion.context.SessionContext" title="datafusion.context.SessionContext"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SessionContext</span></code></a>

<p>The approach implemented for conversion of variables into a SQL query
relies on string conversion. This has the potential for data loss,
specifically for cases like floating point numbers. If you need to pass
variables into a parameterized query and it is important to maintain the
original value without conversion to a string, then you can use the
optional parameter <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">param_values</span></code> to specify these. This parameter
expects a dictionary mapping from the parameter name to a Python
object. Those objects will be cast into a
<a class="reference external" href="https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.Scalar.html">PyArrow Scalar Value</a>.</p>
<p>Using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">param_values</span></code> will rely on the SQL dialect you have configured
for your session. This can be set using the <a class="reference internal" href="configuration.html#configuration"><span class="std std-ref">configuration options</span></a>
of your <a class="reference internal" href="../autoapi/datafusion/context/index.html#datafusion.context.SessionContext" title="datafusion.context.SessionContext"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SessionContext</span></code></a>. Similar to how
<a class="reference external" href="https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/sql/prepared_statements.html">prepared statements</a>
work, these parameters are limited to places where you would pass in a
scalar value, such as a comparison.</p>
