"""Per-file data-to-Postgres loader (SAS and delimited text).

Library-style functions plus a thin CLI wrapper. Designed so an orchestrator
can wrap the library for directory/batch mode; orchestration is out of scope
here.

Python 3.14 compatible (target is an air-gapped host that currently only has
3.14). ``from __future__ import annotations`` lets us use PEP 585 generics
as annotations; runtime-resolved type uses (dataclass defaults, etc.) stick
to ``typing``.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Supported inputs:
    * ``.sas7bdat`` (read with ``encoding="latin-1"``)
    * ``.xpt`` / ``.xport`` (SAS transport files)
    * ``.csv`` / ``.tsv`` / ``.txt`` (delimited text files with headers)

1. YAML config
--------------
Every invocation is driven by a YAML file describing one data file to load::

    filename: samples/sample_kitchensink.xpt   # required; relative paths are
                                               # resolved against the config
                                               # file's directory when possible
    schemaname: public                         # required
    tablename:  kitchensink                    # required

    # Optional. One of: fail | replace | append. Default: fail.
    #   fail    - error out if the target table already exists
    #   replace - DROP and recreate the table from the inferred schema
    #   append  - keep the existing table; pre-flight a schema-compat check,
    #             then COPY the new rows in
    if_exists: append

    # Optional, mutually exclusive. Restrict which columns are loaded.
    # include:
    #   - ID
    #   - INTCOL
    # exclude:
    #   - ALLNULL

2. Database connection
----------------------
The loader uses standard libpq environment variables (read via ``os.environ``)::

    PGHOST, PGPORT, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, PGDATABASE

The CLI calls ``python-dotenv``'s ``load_dotenv()`` at startup, so a local
``.env`` file is picked up automatically. Library callers are responsible for
populating the environment themselves (either call ``load_dotenv()`` or export
the vars) before calling :func:`connect`.

3. Command-line interface
-------------------------
::

    python load_sas.py --config path/to/config.yaml [--validate] [--dry-run]
                       [--dbcreds]

Flags:
    --config PATH   Required. Path to the YAML config above.
    --validate      Compare the inferred schema against
                    ``<sas-file-stem>.expected.json`` sitting next to the SAS
                    file. Exits nonzero on mismatch. Safe to combine with
                    ``--dry-run``.
    --dry-run       Print the inferred ``CREATE TABLE`` SQL and stop. The
                    database is never touched (no connection is opened).
    --dbcreds       Prompt interactively for the database username and
                    password instead of reading ``PGUSER`` / ``PGPASSWORD``
                    from the environment or ``.env`` file. The password
                    prompt does not echo. Has no effect with ``--dry-run``
                    (no connection is opened).

Exit codes:
    0 - success (load completed, or dry-run/validate passed)
    1 - validation failure
    2 - config references a SAS file that does not exist
    Other nonzero - uncaught exception (traceback printed); the transaction
    is rolled back before exit.

Typical invocations::

    # Preview the inferred schema without connecting to Postgres.
    python load_sas.py --config sample_config.yaml --dry-run

    # Check the inferred schema against an expected-types manifest.
    python load_sas.py --config sample_config.yaml --validate --dry-run

    # Actually load the data.
    python load_sas.py --config sample_config.yaml

    # Load the data, prompting for credentials instead of using .env.
    python load_sas.py --config sample_config.yaml --dbcreds

4. Expected-types manifest (``--validate``)
-------------------------------------------
``--validate`` looks for a JSON file named ``<sas-stem>.expected.json`` next
to the SAS file, e.g. ``samples/sample_kitchensink.xpt`` pairs with
``samples/sample_kitchensink.expected.json``. Each top-level key is a column
name; the value is an object with any of::

    {
        "postgres_type": "BIGINT",        # exact expected type, OR
        "acceptable_types": ["TEXT",      # any-of list of acceptable types
                             "VARCHAR"],
        "nullable": true,                 # default true; false = must be NOT NULL
        "note": "free-form comment"       # ignored by the loader
    }

Type comparison ignores length/precision modifiers and normalizes synonyms
(e.g. ``INT`` == ``INTEGER`` == ``INT4``; ``VARCHAR(10)`` == ``VARCHAR``).
Nullability tightening (inferred NULL, manifest NOT NULL) is a hard failure;
loosening is not checked here because the append-mode check already covers it.

5. Library usage
----------------
The CLI is a thin wrapper around composable functions. The preferred pattern
infers the schema from a bounded preview and then streams the rest of the
file chunk-by-chunk into ``COPY`` - crucial for SAS files with hundreds of
millions of rows::

    from dotenv import load_dotenv
    from load_sas import (
        load_config, read_sas_preview, iter_sas_chunks, apply_column_filter,
        infer_schema, validate_against_manifest, render_create_table,
        connect, create_table, copy_dataframes,
    )

    load_dotenv()
    cfg = load_config("config.yaml")

    # Schema from a preview slice (bounded by TYPE_INFERENCE_SAMPLE_ROWS).
    preview_df, meta = read_sas_preview(cfg.filename)
    preview_df = apply_column_filter(preview_df, cfg.include, cfg.exclude)
    total_rows = getattr(meta, "number_rows", None)
    columns = infer_schema(preview_df, meta, total_rows=total_rows)

    # Optional: preview DDL / validate against a manifest.
    print(render_create_table(cfg.schemaname, cfg.tablename, columns))
    problems = validate_against_manifest(columns, Path("expected.json"))
    assert not problems, problems

    conn = connect()
    conn.autocommit = False
    try:
        create_table(conn, cfg.schemaname, cfg.tablename, columns, cfg.if_exists)
        chunks = (
            apply_column_filter(df, cfg.include, cfg.exclude)
            for df, _ in iter_sas_chunks(cfg.filename)
        )
        rows = copy_dataframes(conn, cfg.schemaname, cfg.tablename, chunks, columns)
        conn.commit()
    finally:
        conn.close()

For small files (or tests) the legacy one-shot API still works:
:func:`read_sas` returns the whole frame and :func:`copy_dataframe` copies it
in one round trip.

All functions are side-effect free except :func:`connect`, :func:`create_table`,
:func:`copy_dataframe`, and :func:`copy_dataframes`; schema inference
(:func:`infer_schema`) accepts a ``coerce_chars`` kwarg to override the
module-level ``COERCE_CHAR_COLUMNS`` without mutating global state.

6. Type inference summary
-------------------------
Priority order used by :func:`infer_schema`:

    1. SAS format string (via ``meta.original_variable_types``):
       ``DATETIME*`` -> ``TIMESTAMP``, ``TIME*`` -> ``TIME``,
       ``DATE*`` / ``YYMMDD*`` / ``MMDDYY*`` / ``DDMMYY*`` / ``JULIAN*`` -> ``DATE``.
    2. All-null column -> ``TEXT`` (with a note).
    3. pandas datetime dtype -> ``TIMESTAMP``.
    4. Object columns containing only ``datetime.date`` / ``datetime.datetime``
       -> ``DATE`` or ``TIMESTAMP``.
    5. Object columns of strings: if ``COERCE_CHAR_COLUMNS`` is True and at
       least ``CHAR_INFERENCE_MIN_VALUES`` non-empty values parse cleanly, they
       are promoted to ``INTEGER`` / ``BIGINT`` / ``DOUBLE PRECISION`` /
       ``DATE`` / ``TIMESTAMP``; otherwise ``TEXT``.
    6. Numeric columns of whole numbers -> ``INTEGER`` (or ``BIGINT`` if any
       value exceeds the int32 range ``NUMERIC_INT_RANGE``); otherwise
       ``DOUBLE PRECISION``.

Type inference scans the whole file by default (``TYPE_INFERENCE_SAMPLE_ROWS
= None``) so type + nullability are both computed against every row. The CLI
materializes the file once for schema inference, then re-streams it chunk by
chunk into ``COPY``; peak memory is roughly one full dataframe. Override
``TYPE_INFERENCE_SAMPLE_ROWS`` to an integer cap if you're on a host that
can't hold the file in memory - but know that sampled specs carry the usual
risks: a later row may exceed the inferred integer range, or a column that
had no nulls in the preview may carry nulls later in the file (which then
detonates ``COPY`` because the sampled spec stamped it ``NOT NULL``). Seen
in production on a 2.5M-row file with ~6k null MAFIDs past the 10k-row
preview - the entire load aborted mid-stream.

Streaming loads use :func:`iter_sas_chunks` + :func:`copy_dataframes`, which
commit each chunk as it is copied so an interrupted load retains the rows
that were already written.

7. Tunables
-----------
Module-level knobs at the top of this file:

    * ``COERCE_CHAR_COLUMNS``         - promote stringly-typed numerics / dates
                                        (default True).
    * ``CHAR_INFERENCE_MIN_VALUES``    - minimum non-empty sample size before
                                        char-column coercion is attempted.
    * ``NUMERIC_INT_RANGE``            - INTEGER bounds; values outside become
                                        ``BIGINT``.
    * ``TYPE_INFERENCE_SAMPLE_ROWS``   - cap on rows read for type inference
                                        (``None`` = scan the whole column).
    * ``DEFAULT_CHUNK_ROWS``           - rows per streaming COPY chunk.

      format blank.

    * **All NUM, any decimal hint → DOUBLE PRECISION.** A ``w.d`` format

    * **All NUM, no useful hint → DOUBLE PRECISION.** SAS numeric
      formats are *display* formats, not storage constraints - a
      ``BEST12.`` / ``F8.`` / blank-format column can still hold floats,
      and pyreadstat hands back plain ``float64`` regardless. Defaulting
      to ``DOUBLE PRECISION`` here costs the same 8 bytes as ``BIGINT``
      but can't fail on real data. For columns that truly are
      integer-only and you want ``BIGINT`` semantics in queries, pin
      them via a ``column_types`` override.

    ``meta`` is the pyreadstat metadata object; we read
    ``meta.original_variable_types`` (a dict keyed by column name) for
    format-driven date/time/timestamp inference.

    The ``coerce_chars`` kwarg lets callers override the module-level
    ``COERCE_CHAR_COLUMNS`` without mutating global state. Internally the
    char-inference helpers still read the constant - a full override would
    thread the flag through, but the one-knob story here is intentional.

    ``total_rows`` lets callers who already sampled the frame (e.g. via
    :func:`read_sas_preview`) report the real file size in the per-column
    "inferred from first N of M rows" note. Falls back to ``len(df)``.

    ``column_types`` is an optional map ``{column_name: pg_type_str}``
    whose entries bypass inference entirely - the caller has already
    decided the type (e.g. via :func:`union_column_types` across a
    cluster, or a YAML ``column_types`` override). Nullability is still
    computed from the data. Columns in ``column_types`` that don't exist
    in ``df`` are ignored so a shared override dict can apply to clusters
    with different column sets.

    ``force_nullable=True`` stamps every column nullable regardless of
    what the data sample shows. Escape hatch for when inference marks a
    column ``NOT NULL`` because the sampled rows happened to be dense but
    downstream files carry nulls in that column - common with cluster
    loads where one file's preview can't speak for the rest. Cheaper than
    trying to sharpen the sampler: widen the column and move on.

    For ``replace`` mode the existing table is dropped with ``CASCADE`` so
    all child partitions are removed automatically.

    For ``append`` mode partition creation is skipped entirely — the
    partitions are assumed to already exist from the original creation.

    * ``np.inf`` / ``-np.inf`` slipping through pyreadstat (SAS missing-value
      sentinels, divide-by-zero in the source, uninitialized cells).
    * Absurdly large finite floats (e.g. ``1.7e308``) where ``value * 1e9``
      overflows float64.
    * Values between ``pd.Timestamp.max`` and float64 safety (~9.5e9 to 1e308
      seconds) where the nanosecond multiply silently produces garbage or

    All of these trigger ``FloatingPointError: overflow encountered in multiply``
    inside ``pd.to_datetime`` because pandas wraps the multiply in
    ``np.errstate(over="raise")`` -- our outer ``errors="coerce"`` never
    gets a chance to turn the bad value into ``NaT``.

    1. Coerce to float64 up front. Object-dtype branches hand us mixed
       int/float/str; ``pd.to_numeric(errors="coerce")`` parses what it can
       and NaNs the rest, so we hit the rest of this function with a
       pristine float series.
    2. Mask non-finite values and anything outside the safe epoch window to
       NaN *before* ``pd.to_datetime`` sees them.
    3. Run the conversion under a permissive ``errstate``.
    4. If that still raises (some pandas version internally re-enables
       ``over="raise"`` in a way ``errstate`` can't override), catch it
       and return all-NaT for the column with a loud warning. Better a
       NULL column in one chunk than a dead worker + no diagnostics.

    Emits one stderr line per chunk per affected column so silent data
