pudl.metadata.resources.build_foreign_keys(resources: Dict[str, dict], prune: bool = True) → Dict[str, List[dict]][source]

Build foreign keys for each resource.

A resource’s foreign_key_rules (if present) determines which other resources will be assigned a foreign key (foreign_keys) to the reference’s primary key:

  • fields (List[List[str]]): Sets of field names for which to create a foreign key. These are assumed to match the order of the reference’s primary key fields.

  • exclude (Optional[List[str]]): Names of resources to exclude.

Parameters

  • resources – Resource descriptors by name.

  • prune – Whether to prune redundant foreign keys.

Returns

Foreign keys for each resource (if any), by resource name.

  • fields (List[str]): Field names.

  • reference[‘resource’] (str): Reference resource name.

  • reference[‘fields’] (List[str]): Reference resource field names.

Examples

>>> resources = {
...     'x': {
...         'schema': {
...             'fields': ['z'],
...             'primary_key': ['z'],
...             'foreign_key_rules': {'fields': [['z']]}
...         }
...     },
...     'y': {
...         'schema': {
...             'fields': ['z', 'yy'],
...             'primary_key': ['z', 'yy'],
...             'foreign_key_rules': {'fields': [['z', 'zz']]}
...         }
...     },
...     'z': {'schema': {'fields': ['z', 'zz']}}
... }
>>> keys = build_foreign_keys(resources)
>>> keys['z']
[{'fields': ['z', 'zz'], 'reference': {'resource': 'y', 'fields': ['z', 'yy']}}]
>>> keys['y']
[{'fields': ['z'], 'reference': {'resource': 'x', 'fields': ['z']}}]
>>> keys = build_foreign_keys(resources, prune=False)
>>> keys['z'][0]
{'fields': ['z'], 'reference': {'resource': 'x', 'fields': ['z']}}

pudl.metadata.resources.FOREIGN_KEYS :Dict[str, List[dict]][source]

Generated foreign key constraints by resource name.

pudl.metadata.resources.ENTITIES :Dict[str, Dict[str, List[str]]][source]

Columns kept for either entity or annual EIA tables in the harvesting process.

For each entity type (key), the ID columns, static columns, and annual columns,

The order of the entities matters. Plants must be harvested before utilities, since plant location must be removed before the utility locations are harvested.
