Chapter 19: Advanced Database Operations with SQLAlchemy
19.10 Practical Exercise of Chapter 19: Advanced Database Operations with SQLAlchemy
Exercises 19.1
- Creating a Database with SQLAlchemy ORM:
Create a SQLite database using SQLAlchemy with the following tables:
- Users (columns: id, name, email, country)
- Orders (columns: id, user_id, product, amount)
Here is the starter code for the exercise:
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, create_engine, ForeignKey
from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship, sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
Base = declarative_base()
engine = create_engine('sqlite:///exercise.db', echo=True)
# Define your classes here
# Create the tables in the database
Base.metadata.create_all(engine) - Inserting Data into the Tables:
Insert the following data into the tables you created in the previous exercise:
- Users: (1, 'John', 'john@example.com', 'USA'), (2, 'Jane', 'jane@example.com', 'Canada')
- Orders: (1, 1, 'Apples', 10), (2, 2, 'Oranges', 20)
Remember to use a session to add and commit the data to the database.
- Querying the Database:
Write a query to fetch all orders made by 'John'. Use a JOIN operation to get the data from both tables. Print the product and amount for each order.
- Updating Data:
Write a query to update the amount of 'Apples' ordered by 'John' to 15.
- Deleting Data:
Write a query to delete the order for 'Oranges'.
Remember, these exercises should be carried out using SQLAlchemy's ORM. Try them out and see how comfortable you are with SQLAlchemy's way of working with databases.
Chapter 19 Conclusion
And with this, we've reached the conclusion of our extensive journey through the intersection of Python and SQL, with the final touchstone being SQLAlchemy, the SQL toolkit and ORM for Python. This final chapter took us deeper into the realm of Python and databases, moving beyond the basic CRUD operations and into more advanced territory with SQLAlchemy.
We learned about how SQLAlchemy, with its dual faces as a SQL toolkit and ORM, streamlines database operations and abstracts SQL commands into Pythonic expressions. The declarative system introduced by SQLAlchemy empowers Python programmers to define their database schema right within Python code using a class-based system, bridging the gap between the relational database model and the object-oriented paradigm. The expressive querying language of SQLAlchemy enabled us to execute complex database operations without writing raw SQL.
Moreover, we went over creating relationships between tables, handling sessions, transactions, and maintaining ACID compliance - these features make SQLAlchemy not just a tool but a comprehensive solution for database operations in Python.
Finally, this chapter - and indeed the entire book - was wrapped up with practical exercises aimed at solidifying your understanding and providing hands-on experience.
Overall, the goal of this book was to provide an in-depth understanding of using Python and SQL together, starting from the basics of both and moving towards more complex and real-world scenarios. We journeyed through SQL fundamentals, database designs, complex queries, Python's database modules like sqlite3, to advanced database operations using SQLAlchemy.
As the last chapter of the book, it is fitting to say that mastering SQLAlchemy would be one of the pinnacles of your journey in using Python for database management and manipulation. However, as with any journey in the tech world, learning doesn't stop here. Keep exploring, practicing, and implementing what you've learned in real-world projects.
Thank you for sticking with us till the end. We hope this book has been a valuable resource in your learning path and wish you all the best in your future endeavors with Python and SQL. Happy coding!
