Description

Checks that schema columns are present in a SQL query.

Requirements
  • Dependencies:
    • guardrails-ai>=0.4.0
    • sqlglot
Installation
guardrails hub install hub://numbersstation/sql_column_presence
Usage Examples
Validating string output via Python

In this example, we apply the validator to a string output generated by an LLM.

# Import Guard and Validator
from guardrails import Guard
from guardrails.hub import SqlColumnPresence

# Setup Guard
guard = Guard().use(SqlColumnPresence, ["name", "breed", "weight"], on_fail="exception")

guard.validate(
    "SELECT name, AVG(weight) FROM animals GROUP BY name"
)  # Validator passes

try:
    guard.validate(
        "SELECT name, color, AVG(weight) FROM animals GROUP BY name, color"
    )  # Validator fails
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

Output:

Validation failed for field with errors: Columns [color] not in [weight, name, breed]
Validating JSON output via Python

In this example, we apply the validator to a string field of a JSON output generated by an LLM.

# Import Guard and Validator
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from guardrails.hub import SqlColumnPresence
from guardrails import Guard

# Initialize Validator
val = SqlColumnPresence(["name", "breed", "weight"])

# Create Pydantic BaseModel
class Report(BaseModel):
		name: str
		query: str = Field(validators=[val])

# Create a Guard to check for valid Pydantic output
guard = Guard.from_pydantic(output_class=Process)

# Run LLM output generating JSON through guard
guard.parse("""
{
	"name": "Canine Lookup",
	"query": "SELECT name, AVG(weight) FROM animals GROUP BY name"
}
""")
API Reference

__init__(self, cols, on_fail="noop")

Initializes a new instance of the SqlColumnPresence class.

Parameters

  • cols (List[str]): The list of valid columns.
  • on_fail (str, Callable): The policy to enact when a validator fails. If str, must be one of reask, fix, filter, refrain, noop, exception or fix_reask. Otherwise, must be a function that is called when the validator fails.

validate(self, value, metadata) -> ValidationResult

Validates the given value using the rules defined in this validator, relying on the metadata provided to customize the validation process. This method is automatically invoked by guard.parse(...), ensuring the validation logic is applied to the input data.

Note:

  1. This method should not be called directly by the user. Instead, invoke guard.parse(...) where this method will be called internally for each associated Validator.
  2. When invoking guard.parse(...), ensure to pass the appropriate metadata dictionary that includes keys and values required by this validator. If guard is associated with multiple validators, combine all necessary metadata into a single dictionary.

Parameters

  • value (Any): The input value to validate.
  • metadata (dict): A dictionary containing metadata required for validation. No additional metadata keys are needed for this validator.
