# Spark SQL Toolkit

This notebook shows how to use agents to interact with `Spark SQL`. Similar to [SQL Database Agent](/oss/python/integrations/tools/sql_database), it is designed to address general inquiries about `Spark SQL` and facilitate error recovery.

**NOTE: Note that, as this agent is in active development, all answers might not be correct. Additionally, it is not guaranteed that the agent won't perform DML statements on your Spark cluster given certain questions. Be careful running it on sensitive data!**

## Initialization

```python theme={null}
from langchain_community.agent_toolkits import SparkSQLToolkit, create_spark_sql_agent
from langchain_community.utilities.spark_sql import SparkSQL
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
```

```python theme={null}
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

spark = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
schema = "langchain_example"
spark.sql(f"CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS {schema}")
spark.sql(f"USE {schema}")
csv_file_path = "titanic.csv"
table = "titanic"
spark.read.csv(csv_file_path, header=True, inferSchema=True).write.saveAsTable(table)
spark.table(table).show()
```

Thought:I now know the schema and sample rows for the titanic table.
Final Answer: The titanic table has the following columns: PassengerId (INT), Survived (INT), Pclass (INT), Name (STRING), Sex (STRING), Age (DOUBLE), SibSp (INT), Parch (INT), Ticket (STRING), Fare (DOUBLE), Cabin (STRING), and Embarked (STRING). Here are some sample rows from the table:

Thought:There is an Age column in the titanic table. I should write a query to calculate the average age and then find the square root of the result.
Action: query_checker_sql_db
Action Input: SELECT SQRT(AVG(Age)) as square_root_of_avg_age FROM titanic
Observation: The original query seems to be correct. Here it is again:

SELECT SQRT(AVG(Age)) as square_root_of_avg_age FROM titanic
Thought:The query is correct, so I can execute it to find the square root of the average age.
Action: query_sql_db
Action Input: SELECT SQRT(AVG(Age)) as square_root_of_avg_age FROM titanic
Observation: [('5.449689683556195',)]
Thought:I now know the final answer
Final Answer: The square root of the average age is approximately 5.45.

Thought:I can use the titanic table to find the oldest survived passenger. I will query the Name and Age columns, filtering by Survived and ordering by Age in descending order.

Action Input: SELECT Name, Age FROM titanic WHERE Survived = 1 ORDER BY Age DESC LIMIT 1
