Return Pandas dataframe from PostgreSQL query with sqlalchemy

Question

I want to query a PostgreSQL database and return the output as a Pandas dataframe.

I created a connection to the database with \'SqlAlchemy\':

from sqlal         


        

Answer 1

The error message is telling you that a table named:

stat_table

does not exist( a relation is a table in postgres speak). So, of course you can't select rows from it. Check your db after executing:

i.to_sql('Stat_Table',engine,if_exists='replace')

and see if a table by that name got created in your db.

When I use your read statement:

df = pd.read_sql_query('select * from Stat_Table',con=engine)

I get the data back from a postgres db, so there's nothing wrong with it.
