Python - Pandas terminate `read_sql` based on user action












1















We are using pandas read_sql for retrieving query results that are triggered by a frontend. Just to simplify use case, assume user gives some parameters (table name, clauses, etc.) that we then convert to sql and then execute it using read_sql.
After pandas sends result, we send it back to frontend where it's displayed to user. All good till here.



We also give user option to "stop", so when query is taking longer, we "stop" on frontend, and allow user to "query" again.



However, the problem is, we have no way of quitting/terminating this query on the backend.



Is there a way we can cancel execution based on above scenario?

          What if you read your data by chunks and use some condition so you can stop the loop when necessary? Would be this valid for you?



          import pandas as pd

          query = 'SELECT...'

          for chunk in pd.read_sql_query(query, connection, chunksize=10):
          if user_cancel:
          break
          print(chunk)


          More info in: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.read_sql_query.html
