Sqlalchemy Engine What Is An Engine?

The SQLAlchemy Engine is the foundational component for any SQLAlchemy application, integrating both Dialect and Pool to manage database interactions. The create_engine() function is used to instantiate an Engine object, which can connect to various databases using a specified URL format. Additionally, SQLAlchemy supports event handling for connection events, allowing for custom behavior during database interactions.

Sqlalchemy Engine

What is an Engine?
Then Engine is the starting point of any sqlalchemy application.

Above engine references both Dialect and a Pool.


Dialect and Pool together interpret the DBAPI’s module functions
as well as the behavior of the database.

Creating an Engine?
Create_engine() function is used
Create_engine(“postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost:5432/
mydatabase”)
The above engine creates a Dialect objet towards PostgreSQL, as
well as the pool object which will establish a DBAPI connection at
localhost:5432 when a connection request is first received.
Pool and Engine has lazy initialization behavior.
The Engine, once created can either be used directly to interact
with the database, or can be passed to Session object to work
with the ORM.
Dialects
- The create_engine function produces an Engine object based on a
URL.
- Include username, password, hostname, database optional
KWARGS, some cases a file path is accepted/

Dialects URLS
- Dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database
- Dialect == sqlite, mysql, postgresql, oracle or mssql
- Drivername is the DBAPI to be used to connect to the database
- If some special character is present in the connection url that it
need to be encoded using urllib.parse.quote_plus()

Engine Creation API’s


1) Create_engine(url, **kwargs)
o Creating a new engine instance.
o Kwargs instruct underlying dialect and pool constructs
o Establish connection using the underlying Pool once using
the engine.connect() or Engine.execute() is invoked.
o Create engine() call itself doesn’t establish any actual DBAPI
connections directly.

2) Create_mock_engine(url, executor, **kw)


o Create a mock engine echoing for DDL statement.
o Storing and debugging the output of DDL sequences
generated by MetaData.create_all() and related methods.
o
