Pyathena set default database?

Question

from pyathena import connect
import pandas as pd

conn = connect(aws_access_key_id='YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
             aws_secret_access_key='YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY',
             s3_staging_dir='s3://YOUR_S3_BUCKET/path/to/',
             region_name='us-west-2')
res = pd.read_sql("select * from db_name.tablename",conn)

How can I specify the database name in the connect framework itself or is there any workaround this?

Answer 1

You can add schema_name as parameter to connect(). The default value is schema_name='default'

For example:

conn = connect(aws_access_key_id='YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
             schema_name='my_schema',
             aws_secret_access_key='YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY',
             s3_staging_dir='s3://YOUR_S3_BUCKET/path/to/',
             region_name='us-west-2')
