# SQLAlchemy Skill
SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that provides the full power and flexibility of SQL. It consists of two main components: **Core** (SQL Expression Language) and **ORM** (Object Relational Mapper).
## When to Use This Skill
Use SQLAlchemy when:
- Working with relational databases in Python
- Defining database models as Python classes
- Building SQL queries programmatically
- Managing database transactions and sessions
- Mapping Python objects to database tables
- Need database-agnostic code that works across PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, etc.
## Installation
```bash
pip install sqlalchemy
# For async support
pip install sqlalchemy[asyncio]
```
## Architecture Overview
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SQLAlchemy ORM │
│ (Declarative Mapping, Session, Relationships, Unit of Work)│
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ SQLAlchemy Core │
│ (SQL Expression Language, Engine, Connection Pool) │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ DBAPI │
│ (psycopg2, pymysql, sqlite3, etc.) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
## Engine and Connection
The Engine is the starting point for SQLAlchemy applications:
```python
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
# SQLite (in-memory)
engine = create_engine("sqlite://", echo=True)
# SQLite (file-based)
engine = create_engine("sqlite:///mydatabase.db")
# PostgreSQL
engine = create_engine("postgresql+psycopg2://user:password@localhost/dbname")
# MySQL
engine = create_engine("mysql+pymysql://user:password@localhost/dbname")
# Connection pool settings
engine = create_engine(
"postgresql+psycopg2://user:password@localhost/dbname",
pool_size=5, # Number of connections to keep open
max_overflow=10, # Additional connections allowed
pool_timeout=30, # Seconds to wait for connection
pool_recycle=1800, # Recycle connections after N seconds
)
```
### Using Connections Directly (Core)
```python
from sqlalchemy import text
with engine.connect() as conn:
result = conn.execute(text("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id"), {"id": 1})
for row in result:
print(row)
# For write operations, commit explicitly
conn.execute(text("INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (:name)"), {"name": "Alice"})
conn.commit()
```
## ORM Declarative Mapping
```python
from datetime import datetime
from typing import List, Optional
from sqlalchemy import ForeignKey, String, func
from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped, mapped_column, relationship
class Base(DeclarativeBase):
pass
class User(Base):
__tablename__ = "user_account"
# Primary key with auto-increment
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
# Required string column with max length
name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(30))
# Optional column (nullable)
fullname: Mapped[Optional[str]]
# Column with default value
created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(default=func.now())
# One-to-many relationship
addresses: Mapped[List["Address"]] = relationship(
back_populates="user",
cascade="all, delete-orphan"
)
def __repr__(self) -> str:
return f"User(id={self.id!r}, name={self.name!r})"
class Address(Base):
__tablename__ = "address"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
email_address: Mapped[str]
user_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("user_account.id"))
# Many-to-one relationship (back reference)
user: Mapped["User"] = relationship(back_populates="addresses")
def __repr__(self) -> str:
return f"Address(id={self.id!r}, email_address={self.email_address!r})"
```
### Type Annotation Guide
| Python Type | SQL Type | Nullable |
|-------------|----------|----------|
| `Mapped[int]` | INTEGER | NOT NULL |
| `Mapped[Optional[int]]` | INTEGER | NULL |
| `Mapped[str]` | VARCHAR | NOT NULL |
| `Mapped[Optional[str]]` | VARCHAR | NULL |
| `Mapped[bool]` | BOOLEAN | NOT NULL |
| `Mapped[datetime]` | DATETIME | NOT NULL |
| `Mapped[float]` | FLOAT | NOT NULL |
| `Mapped[bytes]` | BLOB/BYTEA | NOT NULL |
### Creating Tables
```python
# Create all tables defined in Base.metadata
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
# Drop all tables
Base.metadata.drop_all(engine)
```
## Session and CRUD Operations
### Session Basics
```python
from sqlalchemy.orm import Session, sessionmaker
# Option 1: Direct Session usage
with Session(engine) as session:
# ... operations
session.commit()
# Option 2: Using sessionmaker (recommended for applications)
SessionFactory = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
with SessionFactory() as session:
# ... operations
session.commit()
# Option 3: With explicit begin/commit/rollback
with Session(engine) as session:
with session.begin():
# Automatically commits on success, rolls back on exception
session.add(some_object)
```
### Create (INSERT)
```python
with Session(engine) as session:
# Create single object
user = User(name="alice", fullname="Alice Smith")
session.add(user)
# Create with related objects
user_with_addresses = User(
name="bob",
fullname="Bob Jones",
addresses=[
Address(email_address="bob@example.com"),
Address(email_address="bob@work.com"),
]
)
session.add(user_with_addresses)
# Add multiple objects
session.add_all([
User(name="carol"),
User(name="dave"),
])
session.commit()
```
### Read (SELECT)
```python
from sqlalchemy import select
with Session(engine) as session:
# Get by primary key
user = session.get(User, 1)
# Select all
stmt = select(User)
users = session.scalars(stmt).all()
# Select with filter
stmt = select(User).where(User.name == "alice")
alice = session.scalars(stmt).first()
# Select with multiple conditions
stmt = select(User).where(
User.name.like("a%"),
User.id > 5
)
# Select specific columns
stmt = select(User.name, User.fullname)
rows = session.execute(stmt).all()
for name, fullname in rows:
print(f"{name}: {fullname}")
# Order by
stmt = select(User).order_by(User.name.desc())
# Limit and offset
stmt = select(User).limit(10).offset(20)
# Count
from sqlalchemy import func
stmt = select(func.count()).select_from(User)
count = session.scalar(stmt)
```
### Update
```python
with Session(engine) as session:
# Update via ORM (load then modify)
user = session.get(User, 1)
user.fullname = "Alice Johnson"
session.commit()
# Bulk update
from sqlalchemy import update
stmt = update(User).where(User.name == "alice").values(fullname="Alice Updated")
session.execute(stmt)
session.commit()
```
### Delete
```python
with Session(engine) as session:
# Delete via ORM
user = session.get(User, 1)
session.delete(user)
session.commit()
# Bulk delete
from sqlalchemy import delete
stmt = delete(User).where(User.name == "alice")
session.execute(stmt)
session.commit()
```
## Relationships
### One-to-Many / Many-to-One
```python
class Parent(Base):
__tablename__ = "parent"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
children: Mapped[List["Child"]] = relationship(back_populates="parent")
class Child(Base):
__tablename__ = "child"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
parent_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("parent.id"))
parent: Mapped["Parent"] = relationship(back_populates="children")
```
### One-to-One
```python
class User(Base):
__tablename__ = "user"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
profile: Mapped["Profile"] = relationship(back_populates="user", uselist=False)
class Profile(Base):
__tablename__ = "profile"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
user_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("user.id"), unique=True)
user: Mapped["User"] = relationship(back_populates="profile")
```
### Many-to-Many
```python
from sqlalchemy import Column, Table
# Association table (no ORM class needed)
association_table = Table(
"association",
Base.metadata,
Column("left_id", ForeignKey("left.id"), primary_key=True),
Column("right_id", ForeignKey("right.id"), primary_key=True),
)
class Left(Base):
__tablename__ = "left"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
rights: Mapped[List["Right"]] = relationship(
secondary=association_table,
back_populates="lefts"
)
class Right(Base):
__tablename__ = "right"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
lefts: Mapped[List["Left"]] = relationship(
secondary=association_table,
back_populates="rights"
)
```
### Association Object (Many-to-Many with extra data)
```python
class Association(Base):
__tablename__ = "association"
left_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("left.id"), primary_key=True)
right_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("right.id"), primary_key=True)
extra_data: Mapped[Optional[str]]
left: Mapped["Left"] = relationship(back_populates="right_associations")
right: Mapped["Right"] = relationship(back_populates="left_associations")
class Left(Base):
__tablename__ = "left"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
right_associations: Mapped[List["Association"]] = relationship(back_populates="left")
class Right(Base):
__tablename__ = "right"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
left_associations: Mapped[List["Association"]] = relationship(back_populates="right")
```
## Loading Strategies
### Lazy Loading (Default)
```python
# Lazy loading - queries database when attribute is accessed
user = session.get(User, 1)
# SELECT ... FROM user WHERE id = 1
addresses = user.addresses # N+1 query problem!
# SELECT ... FROM address WHERE user_id = 1
```
### Eager Loading with joinedload
```python
from sqlalchemy.orm import joinedload
# Load user and addresses in single query using JOIN
stmt = select(User).options(joinedload(User.addresses)).where(User.id == 1)
user = session.scalars(stmt).unique().first()
# SELECT ... FROM user LEFT OUTER JOIN address ON ...
```
### Eager Loading with selectinload (Recommended)
```python
from sqlalchemy.orm import selectinload
# Load users, then load all addresses with IN clause
stmt = select(User).options(selectinload(User.addresses))
users = session.scalars(stmt).all()
# SELECT ... FROM user
# SELECT ... FROM address WHERE user_id IN (1, 2, 3, ...)
```
### Raise on Lazy Load (Prevent N+1)
```python
from sqlalchemy.orm import raiseload
# Raise error if lazy loading is attempted
stmt = select(User).options(raiseload(User.addresses))
user = session.scalars(stmt).first()
user.addresses # Raises InvalidRequestError
```
### Setting Default Loading Strategy
```python
class User(Base):
__tablename__ = "user"
id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
# Always eager load addresses
addresses: Mapped[List["Address"]] = relationship(lazy="selection")
```
## Joins and Complex Queries
```python
from sqlalchemy import select, and_, or_, func
# Explicit JOIN
stmt = (
select(User, Address)
.join(Address, User.id == Address.user_id)
.where(User.name == "alice")
)
# JOIN using relationship
stmt = (
