## Using AzureSQL Query Editor to Query and Export Data
If you are using an AzureSQL Database, you can use the Query Editor to run SQL queries to retrieve desired data. Memory labels (`labels`) may be an especially useful column to query on for finding data pertaining to a specific operation, user, harm_category, etc. Memory labels are a free-from dictionary for tagging prompts with whatever information you'd like (e.g. `op_name`, `username`, `harm_category`). (For more information on memory labels, see the [Memory Labels Guide](../memory/5_memory_labels.ipynb).) An example is shown below:

1. Write a SQL query in the Query Editor. You can either write these manually or use the "Open Query" option to load one in. The image below shows a query that gathers prompt entries with their corresponding scores for a specific operation (using the `labels` column) with a "float_scale" `score_type`.

# # 5. Memory Labels and Advanced Memory Queries
#
# This notebook covers two ways to filter and retrieve data from PyRIT's memory:
#
# 1. **Memory Labels** — free-form key/value tags attached to every prompt, useful for grouping and retrieval.
# 2. **Identifier Filters** — structured filters that match against the JSON-backed identifier columns
# (target, converter, scorer, attack) stored alongside different memory entities, such as `MessagePiece`, `AttackResult`, etc.
# This notebook demonstrates the functionality with `MessagePiece` entities, but the concepts are similar for other memory entities.
# 3. **Score Identifier Filters** — the same `IdentifierFilter` mechanism applied to `memory.get_scores()` for
# retrieving scores by scorer identity (class name, custom parameters, etc.).
#
# ## Part 1 — Memory Labels
#
# Memory labels are a free-form dictionary for tagging prompts for easier querying and scoring later on. The `GLOBAL_MEMORY_LABELS`
# environment variable can be set to apply labels (e.g. `operator` and `operation`) to all prompts sent by any attack.
# Passed-in labels will be combined with `GLOBAL_MEMORY_LABELS` into one dictionary. In the case of collisions,
# the passed-in labels take precedence.
#
# You can then query the database (either AzureSQL or SQLite) for prompts with specific labels, such as `operator` and/or `operation`
# (which are standard), as well as any others you'd like, including `harm_category`, `language`, `technique`, etc.
#
# We take the following steps in Part 1:
# 1. Send prompts to a text target using `PromptSendingAttack`, passing in `memory_labels` to the execution function.
# 2. Retrieve these prompts by querying for the corresponding memory label(s).
# 3. Resend the retrieved prompts.

# Because you have labeled `group1`, you can retrieve these prompts later. For example, you could score them as shown [here](../scoring/7_batch_scorer.ipynb). Or you could resend them as shown below; this script will resend any prompts with the label regardless of modality.

# ## Part 2 — Identifier Filters
#
# Every `MessagePiece` stored in memory carries JSON identifier columns for the **target**, **converter(s)**, and
# **attack** that produced it. `IdentifierFilter` lets you query against these columns without writing raw SQL.
#
# An `IdentifierFilter` has the following fields:
#
# | Field | Description |
# |---|---|
# | `identifier_type` | Which identifier column to search — `TARGET`, `CONVERTER`, `ATTACK`, or `SCORER`. |
# | `property_path` | A JSON path such as `$.class_name`, `$.endpoint`, `$.model_name`, etc. |
# | `value` | The value to match. |
# | `partial_match` | If `True`, performs a substring (LIKE) match. |
# | `array_element_path` | For array columns (e.g. converter_identifiers), the JSON path within each element. |
#
# The examples below query against data already in memory from Part 1.

# %% [markdown]
# ### Filter by target class name
#
# In Part 1 we sent prompts to both an `OpenAIChatTarget` and a `TextTarget`.
# We can retrieve only the prompts that were sent to a specific target.

# %%

for piece in target_class_pieces:
print(f" [{piece.role}] {piece.converted_value[:80]}")

# %% [markdown]
# ### Filter by target with partial match
#
# You don't need an exact match — `partial_match=True` performs a substring search.
# This is handy when you know part of a class name, endpoint URL, or model name.

# %%
# Find all pieces sent to any target whose class_name contains "OpenAI"
openai_filter = IdentifierFilter(
identifier_type=IdentifierType.TARGET,
property_path="$.class_name",

print(f" [{piece.role}] {piece.original_value[:80]}")

# %% [markdown]
# ### Filter by converter (array column)
#
# Converter identifiers are stored as a JSON **array** (since a prompt can pass through multiple converters).
# Use `array_element_path` to match if *any* converter in the list satisfies the condition.

# %%
# Find all message pieces that were processed by a Base64Converter
converter_filter = IdentifierFilter(
identifier_type=IdentifierType.CONVERTER,
property_path="$",
array_element_path="$.class_name",
value="Base64Converter",

for piece in base64_pieces:
print(f" [{piece.role}] original: {piece.original_value[:60]} → converted: {piece.converted_value[:60]}")

# %% [markdown]
# ### Combining multiple filters
#
# You can pass several `IdentifierFilter` objects at once; all filters are AND-ed together.
# Here we find prompts that were sent to a `TextTarget` **and** used a `Base64Converter`.

# %%
text_target_filter = IdentifierFilter(
identifier_type=IdentifierType.TARGET,

)

print(f"Pieces to/from TextTarget AND using Base64Converter: {len(combined_pieces)}")
for piece in combined_pieces:
print(f" [{piece.role}] {piece.original_value[:80]}")

# %% [markdown]
# ### Mixing labels and identifier filters
#
# Labels and identifier filters can be used together. Labels narrow by your custom tags,
# while identifier filters narrow by the infrastructure (target, converter, etc.) that
# handled each prompt.

# %%
# Retrieve prompts from our labeled group that specifically went through Base64Converter
labeled_and_filtered = memory.get_message_pieces(
labels={"prompt_group": group1},
identifier_filters=[converter_filter],

# %% [markdown]
# ## Part 3 — Filtering Scores by Scorer Identity
#
# `IdentifierFilter` also works with `memory.get_scores()`. Every `Score` stored in memory records the
# **scorer's identifier** — a JSON object that contains the class name as well as any custom parameters
# the scorer was initialized with.
#
# In this example we create two `SubStringScorer` instances with different substrings, score the
# assistant responses from Part 1, and then use `identifier_filters` on `memory.get_scores()` to
# retrieve only the scores produced by a specific scorer.

# %%
from pyrit.models import Message
from pyrit.score import SubStringScorer

# Create three scorers with different substrings
scorer_molotov = SubStringScorer(substring="molotov")
scorer_launder = SubStringScorer(substring="launder")
scorer_assist = SubStringScorer(substring="assist") # intentionally bad scorer that matches when the phrase 'assist' is present in response. But good for demo.

# Retrieve assistant responses from Part 1
assistant_pieces = memory.get_message_pieces(
labels={"prompt_group": group1},
role="assistant",
)

# Wrap each piece in a Message so we can pass it to score_async
assistant_messages = [Message([piece]) for piece in assistant_pieces]

# Score every response with both scorers — scores are automatically persisted in memory
for msg in assistant_messages:
await scorer_molotov.score_async(msg) # type: ignore
await scorer_launder.score_async(msg) # type: ignore
await scorer_assist.score_async(msg) # type: ignore

print(f"Scored {len(assistant_messages)} messages with all three scorers.")

# %% [markdown]
# ### Filter scores by scorer class name
#
# The simplest filter retrieves all scores produced by a particular scorer class.

# %%
# Retrieve all SubStringScorer scores regardless of which substring was used
scorer_class_filter = IdentifierFilter(
identifier_type=IdentifierType.SCORER,
property_path="$.class_name",
value="SubStringScorer",
)

all_substring_scores = memory.get_scores(
identifier_filters=[scorer_class_filter],
)

print(f"Total SubStringScorer scores in memory: {len(all_substring_scores)}")
for s in all_substring_scores:
print(f" score={s.get_value()} category={s.score_category}")

# %% [markdown]
# ### Filter scores by custom scorer parameter
#
# Scorer identifiers store custom parameters alongside the class name. For `SubStringScorer`, the
# identifier includes a `substring` property. We can filter on it to retrieve only the scores
# produced by the scorer configured with a particular substring.

# %%
# Retrieve only scores from the scorer whose substring was "molotov"
molotov_scorer_filter = IdentifierFilter(
identifier_type=IdentifierType.SCORER,
property_path="$.substring",
value="molotov",
)

molotov_scores = memory.get_scores(
identifier_filters=[molotov_scorer_filter],
)

print(f"Scores from the 'molotov' SubStringScorer: {len(molotov_scores)}")
for s in molotov_scores:
print(f" score={s.get_value()} category={s.score_category}")

print()

# Now retrieve only scores from the scorer whose substring was "launder"
launder_scorer_filter = IdentifierFilter(
identifier_type=IdentifierType.SCORER,
property_path="$.substring",
value="launder",
)

launder_scores = memory.get_scores(
identifier_filters=[launder_scorer_filter],
)

print(f"Scores from the 'launder' SubStringScorer: {len(launder_scores)}")
for s in launder_scores:
print(f" score={s.get_value()} category={s.score_category}")

# Now retrieve only scores from the scorer whose substring was "assist"
assist_scorer_filter = IdentifierFilter(
identifier_type=IdentifierType.SCORER,
property_path="$.substring",
