Google Cloud SQL is a fully managed relational database service that offers high performance, seamless integration, and impressive scalability. It offers MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server database engines. Extend your database application to build AI-powered experiences leveraging Cloud SQL’s LangChain integrations.
This notebook goes over how to use Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL to store chat message history with the PostgresChatMessageHistory class. Learn more about the package on GitHub. Open In Colab

Before You Begin

To run this notebook, you will need to do the following:

🦜🔗 Library Installation

The integration lives in its own langchain-google-cloud-sql-pg package, so we need to install it.
Colab only: Uncomment the following cell to restart the kernel or use the button to restart the kernel. For Vertex AI Workbench you can restart the terminal using the button on top.

🔐 Authentication

Authenticate to Google Cloud as the IAM user logged into this notebook in order to access your Google Cloud Project.
  • If you are using Colab to run this notebook, use the cell below and continue.
  • If you are using Vertex AI Workbench, check out the setup instructions here.

☁ Set Your Google Cloud Project

Set your Google Cloud project so that you can leverage Google Cloud resources within this notebook. If you don’t know your project ID, try the following:

💡 API Enablement

The langchain-google-cloud-sql-pg package requires that you enable the Cloud SQL Admin API in your Google Cloud Project.

Basic Usage

Set Cloud SQL database values

Find your database values, in the Cloud SQL Instances page.

PostgresEngine Connection Pool

One of the requirements and arguments to establish Cloud SQL as a ChatMessageHistory memory store is a PostgresEngine object. The PostgresEngine configures a connection pool to your Cloud SQL database, enabling successful connections from your application and following industry best practices. To create a PostgresEngine using PostgresEngine.from_instance() you need to provide only 4 things:
  1. project_id : Project ID of the Google Cloud Project where the Cloud SQL instance is located.
  2. region : Region where the Cloud SQL instance is located.
  3. instance : The name of the Cloud SQL instance.
  4. database : The name of the database to connect to on the Cloud SQL instance.
By default, IAM database authentication will be used as the method of database authentication. This library uses the IAM principal belonging to the Application Default Credentials (ADC) sourced from the envionment. For more informatin on IAM database authentication please see: Optionally, built-in database authentication using a username and password to access the Cloud SQL database can also be used. Just provide the optional user and password arguments to PostgresEngine.from_instance():
  • user : Database user to use for built-in database authentication and login
  • password : Database password to use for built-in database authentication and login.

Initialize a table

The PostgresChatMessageHistory class requires a database table with a specific schema in order to store the chat message history. The PostgresEngine engine has a helper method init_chat_history_table() that can be used to create a table with the proper schema for you.

PostgresChatMessageHistory

To initialize the PostgresChatMessageHistory class you need to provide only 3 things:
  1. engine - An instance of a PostgresEngine engine.
  2. session_id - A unique identifier string that specifies an id for the session.
  3. table_name : The name of the table within the Cloud SQL database to store the chat message history.

Cleaning up

When the history of a specific session is obsolete and can be deleted, it can be done the following way. Note: Once deleted, the data is no longer stored in Cloud SQL and is gone forever.

🔗 Chaining

We can easily combine this message history class with LCEL Runnables To do this we will use one of Google’s Vertex AI chat models which requires that you enable the Vertex AI API in your Google Cloud Project.
