Everyone uses in one way or another an ORM while working with SQLDatabases.
Django, for example, is widely used by a lot of companies and people out there, the ORM it is simply amazing and simplistic in the way you can simply focus on what it matters to you and not in the small details.
SQL Alchemy is another one widely used and loved by the majority of the python community.
Edgy is from the same autor of Esmerald so is expected to be supported (not natively) by the framework by providing some out-of-the-box built-in that can simply be used
Tip
Although Esmerald supports out of the box some integrations with Edgy it does not necessarily mean the framework is only coupled with it. You are entirely free to use a completely different ORM or even ignore this section and implement your own Edgy integration.
Motivation¶
- 100% Pydantic
- Declaring tables
- Querying models
- Declaring relationships
- Managers
- Asynchronous
- Fast
- SQL Alchemy core
How to use¶
Using Edgy is as easy installing edgy and an async capable database driver for sqlalchemy. The rest is handled by edgy and databasez.
If there is no capable driver you can try to use the generic dbapi2 driver of databasez and adapt any dbapi2 driver. But sometimes there is not even a suitable dbapi2 driver.
Don't worry: you can use JDBC too (with a working java installation):
$ pip install edgy[jdbc]
# or manually
$ pip install edgy jpype1
edgy[postres] or edgy[sqlite]
