Overview

Database wrapper classes for SQLAlchemy.

These classes currently support only two database types: MySQL and PostgreSQL. Drivers required, respectively:

• https://pypi.org/project/mysql-connector-python.
• https://pypi.org/project/psycopg2/.

These classes provide the following functionalities:

• Database connection management.

• A custom SQLAlchemy query class which implements paginating.

• A generic base model (table), which should be the indirect base model for applications' models. This class encapsulates:

  • SQLAlchemy scoped session, thereby providing methods to implement transaction atomicity.

  • A custom base query with paginating ability mentioned above.

  • Fully implemented dunder methods str() and repr().

• A generic SQLAlchemy declarative base class which should include all required metaclasses.

• Some generic methods which run full text SQL statements.

• A generic method to run stored procedures which return data.

• A generic method which takes a list of records to be inserted, and records to be updated, and writes them to the target database table in a single call.

• Transaction atomicity. Multiple database operations involving several different tables can be wrapped under a single transaction, so that all can be committed or rolled back as appropriate.
