Connecting Python and Yellowbrick with ADBC

Instructions

Tip

If you already have a Yellowbrick instance running, skip the steps to set up and clean up Yellowbrick.

Warning

On Apple Silicon Macs, Yellowbrick Community Edition works with OrbStack but not with Docker Desktop.

Start a Yellowbrick Community Edition instance:

docker run -d --rm --privileged --name yellowbrick -p 443:443 -p 5432:5432 yellowbrickdata/yb-community-edition:latest

Wait for the service to be ready (it should print localhost:5432 - accepting connections):
```
docker exec yellowbrick pg_isready -h localhost -p 5432
```

Install the PostgreSQL ADBC driver:
```
dbc install postgresql
```
Customize the Python script main.py as needed
- Change the connection arguments in db_kwargs
  - Format uri according to the connection URI format used by PostgreSQL, or keep it as is
- Change the SQL SELECT statement in cursor.execute() if desired
Run the Python script:
```
uv run main.py
```

Stop the Docker container running Yellowbrick:

docker stop yellowbrick
