Essential SQLAlchemy»rank: 113520by: Rick Copeland
: :Essential SQLAlchemy introduces a high-level open-source code library that makes it easier for Python programmers to access relational databases such as Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

SQLAlchemy includes both a database server-independent SQL expression language and an object-relational mapper (ORM) that lets you map 'plain old Python objects' (POPOs) to database tables without substantially changing your existing Python code. Essential SQLAlchemy demonstrates how to ... |
