class langchain_community.document_loaders.sql_database.SQLDatabaseLoader(query: str | Select, db: SQLDatabase, *, parameters: Dict[str, Any] | None = None, page_content_mapper: Callable[[...], str] | None = None, metadata_mapper: Callable[[...], Dict[str, Any]] | None = None, source_columns: Sequence[str] | None = None, include_rownum_into_metadata: bool = False, include_query_into_metadata: bool = False)[source]#

Load documents by querying database tables supported by SQLAlchemy.

For talking to the database, the document loader uses the SQLDatabase utility from the LangChain integration toolkit.

Each document represents one row of the result.

Parameters:

  • query (str | Select) – The query to execute.

  • db (SQLDatabase) – A LangChain SQLDatabase, wrapping an SQLAlchemy engine.

  • sqlalchemy_kwargs – More keyword arguments for SQLAlchemy’s create_engine.

  • parameters (Dict[str, Any] | None) – Optional. Parameters to pass to the query.

  • page_content_mapper (Callable[[...], str] | None) – Optional. Function to convert a row into a string to use as the page_content of the document. By default, the loader serializes the whole row into a string, including all columns.

  • metadata_mapper (Callable[[...], Dict[str, Any]] | None) – Optional. Function to convert a row into a dictionary to use as the metadata of the document. By default, no columns are selected into the metadata dictionary.

  • source_columns (Sequence[str] | None) – Optional. The names of the columns to use as the source within the metadata dictionary.

  • include_rownum_into_metadata (bool) – Optional. Whether to include the row number into the metadata dictionary. Default: False.

  • include_query_into_metadata (bool) – Optional. Whether to include the query expression into the metadata dictionary. Default: False.
