Tables

Synapse Tables enable storage of tabular data in Synapse in a form that can be queried using a SQL-like query language.

A table has a Schema and holds a set of rows conforming to that schema.

A Schema defines a series of Column of the following types:

  • STRING
  • DOUBLE
  • INTEGER
  • BOOLEAN
  • DATE
  • ENTITYID
  • FILEHANDLEID
  • LINK
  • LARGETEXT
  • USERID

Read more information about using Table in synapse in the tutorials section.

Classes

SchemaBase

Bases: Entity

This is the an Abstract Class for EntityViewSchema and Schema containing the common methods for both. You can not create an object of this type.

Dataset

Bases: ViewBase

A Dataset is an Entity that defines a flat list of entities as a tableview (a.k.a. a "dataset").

ATTRIBUTE DESCRIPTION
name

The name for the Dataset object

description

User readable description of the schema

columns

A list of Column objects or their IDs

parent

The Synapse Project to which this Dataset belongs

properties

A map of Synapse properties

annotations

A map of user defined annotations

dataset_items

A list of items characterized by entityId and versionNumber

folder

A list of Folder IDs

local_state

Internal use only

Using Dataset

Load Dataset

from synapseclient import Dataset

Create a Dataset with pre-defined DatasetItems. Default Dataset columns are used if no schema is provided.

dataset_items = [
    {'entityId': "syn000", 'versionNumber': 1},
    {...},
]

dataset = syn.store(Dataset(
    name="My Dataset",
    parent=project,
    dataset_items=dataset_items))

Add/remove specific Synapse IDs to/from the Dataset

dataset.add_item({'entityId': "syn111", 'versionNumber': 1})
dataset.remove_item("syn000")
dataset = syn.store(dataset)

Add a list of Synapse IDs to the Dataset

new_items = [
    {'entityId': "syn222", 'versionNumber': 2},
    {'entityId': "syn333", 'versionNumber': 1}
]
dataset.add_items(new_items)
dataset = syn.store(dataset)

Folders can easily be added recursively to a dataset, that is, all files within the folder (including sub-folders) will be added. Note that using the following methods will add files with the latest version number ONLY. If another version number is desired, use add_item or add_items.

Add folder to Dataset

Add a single Folder to the Dataset.

dataset.add_folder("syn123")

Add a list of Folders, overwriting any existing files in the dataset.

dataset.add_folders(["syn456", "syn789"], force=True)
dataset = syn.store(dataset)
Truncate a Dataset

empty() can be used to truncate a dataset, that is, remove all current items from the set.

dataset.empty()
dataset = syn.store(dataset)
Check items in a Dataset

To get the number of entities in the dataset, use len().

print(f"{dataset.name} has {len(dataset)} items.")
Create a snapshot of the Dataset

To create a snapshot version of the Dataset, use create_snapshot_version.

syn = synapseclient.login()
syn.create_snapshot_version(
    dataset.id,
    label="v1.0",
    comment="This is version 1")

EntityViewSchema

Bases: ViewBase

A EntityViewSchema is a Entity that displays all files/projects (depending on user choice) within a given set of scopes.

ATTRIBUTE DESCRIPTION
name

The name of the Entity View Table object

columns

(Optional) A list of Column objects or their IDs.

parent

The project in Synapse to which this table belongs

scopes

A list of Projects/Folders or their ids

type

This field is deprecated. Please use includeEntityTypes

includeEntityTypes

A list of entity types to include in the view. Supported entity types are:

  • EntityViewType.FILE
  • EntityViewType.PROJECT
  • EntityViewType.TABLE
  • EntityViewType.FOLDER
  • EntityViewType.VIEW
  • EntityViewType.DOCKER

If none is provided, the view will default to include EntityViewType.FILE.

addDefaultViewColumns

If true, adds all default columns (e.g. name, createdOn, modifiedBy etc.) Defaults to True. The default columns will be added after a call to store.

addAnnotationColumns

If true, adds columns for all annotation keys defined across all Entities in the EntityViewSchema's scope. Defaults to True. The annotation columns will be added after a call to store.

ignoredAnnotationColumnNames

A list of strings representing annotation names. When addAnnotationColumns is True, the names in this list will not be automatically added as columns to the EntityViewSchema if they exist in any of the defined scopes.

properties

A map of Synapse properties

annotations

A map of user defined annotations

local_state

Internal use only

Example:

from synapseclient import EntityViewType

project_or_folder = syn.get("syn123")
schema = syn.store(EntityViewSchema(name='MyTable', parent=project, scopes=[project_or_folder_id, 'syn123'],

PartialRowset

Bases: AppendableRowset

A set of Partial Rows used for updating cells of a table. PartialRowsets allow you to push only the individual cells you wish to change instead of pushing entire rows with many unchanged cells.

ATTRIBUTE DESCRIPTION
schema

The Schema of the table to update or its tableId as a string

rows

A list of PartialRows

Update cells in

The following code will change cells in a hypothetical table, syn123: these same steps will also work for using EntityView tables to change Entity annotations

From:

    +-------------+--------------+
    | Column One  | Column Two   |
    +=============+==============+
    | Data 1      | Data A       |
    +-------------+--------------+
    | Data 2      | Data B       |
    +-------------+--------------+
    | Data 3      | Data C       |
    +-------------+--------------+

To

    +-------------+--------------+
    | Column One  | Column Two   |
    +=============+==============+
    | Data 1  2   | Data A       |
    +-------------+--------------+
    | Data 2      | Data B  D    |
    +-------------+--------------+
    | Data 3      | Data C       |
    +-------------+--------------+

query_results = syn.tableQuery("SELECT * FROM syn123")

The easiest way to know the rowId of the row you wish to change is by converting the table to a pandas DataFrame with rowIdAndVersionInIndex=False

df = query_results.asDataFrame(rowIdAndVersionInIndex=False)

partial_changes = {df['ROW_ID'][0]: {'fooCol': 'foo foo 1'},
                   df['ROW_ID'][1]: {'barCol': 'bar bar 2'}}

You will need to pass in your original query result as an argument so that we can perform column id translation and etag retrieval on your behalf:

partial_rowset = PartialRowset.from_mapping(partial_changes, query_results)
syn.store(partial_rowset)

PartialRow

Bases: DictObject

This is a lower-level class for use in PartialRowset to update individual cells within a table.

ATTRIBUTE DESCRIPTION
values

A Mapping where:

  • The key is name of the column (or its columnId) to change in the desired row
  • The value is the new desired value for that column

rowId

The id of the row to be updated

etag

Used for updating File/Project Views(EntityViewSchema). Not necessary for a Schema Table

nameToColumnId

Optional map column names to column Ids. If this is provided, the keys of your values Mapping will be replaced with the column ids in the nameToColumnId dict. Include this as an argument when you are providing the column names instead of columnIds as the keys to the values Mapping.

Using PartialRow

It is recommended you use from_mapping to construct partial change sets to a table.

If you want to do the tedious parts yourself:

To change cells in the "foo"(colId:1234) and "bar"(colId:456) columns of a row with rowId = 5 Pass in with columnIds as key:

PartialRow({123: 'fooVal', 456:'barVal'}, rowId)

Pass in with a nameToColumnId argument. You can either manually define:

nameToColumnId = {'foo':123, 'bar':456}

OR if you have the result of a tableQuery() you can generate nameToColumnId using:

query_result = syn.tableQuery("SELECT * FROM syn123")
nameToColumnId = {col.name:col.id for col in query_result.headers}

PartialRow({'foo': 'fooVal', 'bar':'barVal'}, rowId, nameToColumnId=nameToColumnId)
