• Configure db through pgadmin (described under "Postgresql & PgAdmin powered by compose" further down below)
• Run:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt

python src/inserts.py  # populate the database
python src/queries.py  # perform queries

• SQLAlchemy expose interfaces in accordance with the Python DBAPI, specified in PEP-249
• PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and SQLite can be used with SQLAlchemy
• Psycopg fully implements the Pyhton DBAPI implementation for PostgreSQL
• SQLAlchemy supports various SQL dialects
• SQLAlchemy supports generic types, vendor types and custom types
• SQLAlchemy supports four types of relationships:
  • One to many
  • Many to one
  • One to one
  • Many to many
• SQLAlchemy ORM cascading are handled through the relationship() construct. The most common cascade strategies:
  • save-update: Indicates that when a parent object is saved/updated, child objects are saved/updated as well.
  • delete: Indicates that when a parent object is deleted, children of this object will be deleted as well.
  • delete-orphan: Indicates that when a child object loses reference to a parent, it will get deleted.
  • merge: Indicates that merge() operations propagate from parent to children.
• SQLAlchemy ORM sessions is used to maintain a list of objects affected by a business transaction and to coordinate the writing out of these changes
• The Query API provides dozens of useful functions like all(). In the following list, we can see a brief explanation about the most important ones:
  • count(): Returns the total number of rows of a query.
  • filter(): Filters the query by applying a criteria.
  • delete(): Removes from the database the rows matched by a query.
  • distinct(): Applies a distinct statement to a query.
  • exists(): Adds an exists operator to a subquery.
  • first(): Returns the first row in a query.
  • get(): Returns the row referenced by the primary key parameter passed as argument.
  • join(): Creates a SQL join in a query.
  • limit(): Limits the number of rows returned by a query.
  • order_by(): Sets an order in the rows returned by a query.
