# CnosDB > [CnosDB](https://github.com/cnosdb/cnosdb) is an open source distributed time series database with high performance, high compression rate and high ease of use. ## Installation and Setup ```python pip install cnos-connector ``` ## Connecting to CnosDB You can connect to CnosDB using the `SQLDatabase.from_cnosdb()` method. ### Syntax ```python def SQLDatabase.from_cnosdb(url: str = "127.0.0.1:8902", user: str = "root", password: str = "", tenant: str = "cnosdb", database: str = "public") ``` Args: 1. url (str): The HTTP connection host name and port number of the CnosDB service, excluding "http://" or "https://", with a default value of "127.0.0.1:8902". 2. user (str): The username used to connect to the CnosDB service, with a default value of "root". 3. password (str): The password of the user connecting to the CnosDB service, with a default value of "". 4. tenant (str): The name of the tenant used to connect to the CnosDB service, with a default value of "cnosdb". 5. database (str): The name of the database in the CnosDB tenant. ## Examples ```python # Connecting to CnosDB with SQLDatabase Wrapper from langchain import SQLDatabase db = SQLDatabase.from_cnosdb() ``` ```python # Creating a OpenAI Chat LLM Wrapper from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0, model_name="gpt-3.5-turbo") ``` ### SQL Database Chain This example demonstrates the use of the SQL Chain for answering a question over a CnosDB. ```python from langchain import SQLDatabaseChain db_chain = SQLDatabaseChain.from_llm(llm, db, verbose=True) db_chain.run( "What is the average temperature of air at station XiaoMaiDao between October 19, 2022 and Occtober 20, 2022?" ) ``` ```shell > Entering new chain... What is the average temperature of air at station XiaoMaiDao between October 19, 2022 and Occtober 20, 2022? SQLQuery:SELECT AVG(temperature) FROM air WHERE station = 'XiaoMaiDao' AND time >= '2022-10-19' AND time < '2022-10-20' SQLResult: [(68.0,)] Answer:The average temperature of air at station XiaoMaiDao between October 19, 2022 and October 20, 2022 is 68.0. > Finished chain. ``` ### SQL Database Agent This example demonstrates the use of the SQL Database Agent for answering questions over a CnosDB. ```python from langchain.agents import create_sql_agent from langchain.agents.agent_toolkits import SQLDatabaseToolkit toolkit = SQLDatabaseToolkit(db=db, llm=llm) agent = create_sql_agent(llm=llm, toolkit=toolkit, verbose=True) ``` ```python agent.run( "What is the average temperature of air at station XiaoMaiDao between October 19, 2022 and Occtober 20, 2022?" ) ``` ```shell > Entering new chain... Action: sql_db_list_tables Action Input: "" Observation: air Thought:The "air" table seems relevant to the question. I should query the schema of the "air" table to see what columns are available. Action: sql_db_schema Action Input: "air" Observation: CREATE TABLE air ( pressure FLOAT, station STRING, temperature FLOAT, time TIMESTAMP, visibility FLOAT ) /* 3 rows from air table: pressure station temperature time visibility 75.0 XiaoMaiDao 67.0 2022-10-19T03:40:00 54.0 77.0 XiaoMaiDao 69.0 2022-10-19T04:40:00 56.0 76.0 XiaoMaiDao 68.0 2022-10-19T05:40:00 55.0 */ Thought:The "temperature" column in the "air" table is relevant to the question. I can query the average temperature between the specified dates. Action: sql_db_query Action Input: "SELECT AVG(temperature) FROM air WHERE station = 'XiaoMaiDao' AND time >= '2022-10-19' AND time <= '2022-10-20'" Observation: [(68.0,)] Thought:The average temperature of air at station XiaoMaiDao between October 19, 2022 and October 20, 2022 is 68.0. Final Answer: 68.0 > Finished chain. ```
