Generate SQL statements from a Pandas Dataframe

If you only want the ‘CREATE TABLE’ sql code (and not the insert of the data), you can use the get_schema function of the pandas.io.sql module:

In [10]: print pd.io.sql.get_schema(df.reset_index(), 'data')
CREATE TABLE "data" (
  "index" TIMESTAMP,
  "A" REAL,
  "B" REAL,
  "C" REAL,
  "D" REAL
)

Some notes:

• I had to use reset_index because it otherwise didn’t include the index
• If you provide an sqlalchemy engine of a certain database flavor, the result will be adjusted to that flavor (eg the data type names).
