The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper
|
|
that gives application developers the full power and
|
|
flexibility of SQL. SQLAlchemy provides a full suite
|
|
of well known enterprise-level persistence patterns,
|
|
designed for efficient and high-performing database
|
|
access, adapted into a simple and Pythonic domain
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
Major SQLAlchemy features include:
|
|
|
|
* An industrial strength ORM, built
|
|
from the core on the identity map, unit of work,
|
|
and data mapper patterns. These patterns
|
|
allow transparent persistence of objects
|
|
using a declarative configuration system.
|
|
Domain models
|
|
can be constructed and manipulated naturally,
|
|
and changes are synchronized with the
|
|
current transaction automatically.
|
|
* A relationally-oriented query system, exposing
|
|
the full range of SQL's capabilities
|
|
explicitly, including joins, subqueries,
|
|
correlation, and most everything else,
|
|
in terms of the object model.
|
|
Writing queries with the ORM uses the same
|
|
techniques of relational composition you use
|
|
when writing SQL. While you can drop into
|
|
literal SQL at any time, it's virtually never
|
|
needed.
|
|
* A comprehensive and flexible system
|
|
of eager loading for related collections and objects.
|
|
Collections are cached within a session,
|
|
and can be loaded on individual access, all
|
|
at once using joins, or by query per collection
|
|
across the full result set.
|
|
* A Core SQL construction system and DBAPI
|
|
interaction layer. The SQLAlchemy Core is
|
|
separate from the ORM and is a full database
|
|
abstraction layer in its own right, and includes
|
|
an extensible Python-based SQL expression
|
|
language, schema metadata, connection pooling,
|
|
type coercion, and custom types.
|
|
* All primary and foreign key constraints are
|
|
assumed to be composite and natural. Surrogate
|
|
integer primary keys are of course still the
|
|
norm, but SQLAlchemy never assumes or hardcodes
|
|
to this model.
|
|
* Database introspection and generation. Database
|
|
schemas can be "reflected" in one step into
|
|
Python structures representing database metadata;
|
|
those same structures can then generate
|
|
CREATE statements right back out - all within
|
|
the Core, independent of the ORM.
|
|
|
|
SQLAlchemy's philosophy:
|
|
|
|
* SQL databases behave less and less like object
|
|
collections the more size and performance start to
|
|
matter; object collections behave less and less like
|
|
tables and rows the more abstraction starts to matter.
|
|
SQLAlchemy aims to accommodate both of these
|
|
principles.
|
|
* An ORM doesn't need to hide the "R". A relational
|
|
database provides rich, set-based functionality
|
|
that should be fully exposed. SQLAlchemy's
|
|
ORM provides an open-ended set of patterns
|
|
that allow a developer to construct a custom
|
|
mediation layer between a domain model and
|
|
a relational schema, turning the so-called
|
|
"object relational impedance" issue into
|
|
a distant memory.
|
|
* The developer, in all cases, makes all decisions
|
|
regarding the design, structure, and naming conventions
|
|
of both the object model as well as the relational
|
|
schema. SQLAlchemy only provides the means
|
|
to automate the execution of these decisions.
|
|
* With SQLAlchemy, there's no such thing as
|
|
"the ORM generated a bad query" - you
|
|
retain full control over the structure of
|
|
queries, including how joins are organized,
|
|
how subqueries and correlation is used, what
|
|
columns are requested. Everything SQLAlchemy
|
|
does is ultimately the result of a developer-
|
|
initiated decision.
|
|
* Don't use an ORM if the problem doesn't need one.
|
|
SQLAlchemy consists of a Core and separate ORM
|
|
component. The Core offers a full SQL expression
|
|
language that allows Pythonic construction
|
|
of SQL constructs that render directly to SQL
|
|
strings for a target database, returning
|
|
result sets that are essentially enhanced DBAPI
|
|
cursors.
|
|
* Transactions should be the norm. With SQLAlchemy's
|
|
ORM, nothing goes to permanent storage until
|
|
commit() is called. SQLAlchemy encourages applications
|
|
to create a consistent means of delineating
|
|
the start and end of a series of operations.
|
|
* Never render a literal value in a SQL statement.
|
|
Bound parameters are used to the greatest degree
|
|
possible, allowing query optimizers to cache
|
|
query plans effectively and making SQL injection
|
|
attacks a non-issue.
