- What is SQLAlchemy?
- SQLAlchemy Core Python
- SQLAlchemy Core Insert
I will jump right into a simple example using Jupyter Notebook with Anaconda Navigator. Here we have a Python project that is connecting to a SQLite database using the ORM SQLAlchemy.
import sqlalchemy as sa sqlalchemy.__version__
'1.4.39'
engine = sa.create_engine('sqlite:///emp.db') connection = engine.connect() meta_data = sa.MetaData() employees = sa.Table( 'Employees', meta_data, sa.Column('id', sa.Integer(), primary_key=True), sa.Column('name', sa.String()), sa.Column('position', sa.String()) ) meta_data.create_all(engine)
The database is created in the current directory. What is the current directory? Because I am using Anaconda Navigator in Windows here, the current directory is where the project is stored, which is C:\users\username where username is the Windows user. This below is what it looks like in DB Browser.
Here is the syntax if you want to specify a location in Windows. By the way, single quotes also work.
engine = sa.create_engine(r"sqlite:///D:\Test\emp2.db")
print(employees.insert())
INSERT INTO "Employees" (id, name, position) VALUES (:id, :name, :position)
