silly-db 1.1.0

Python3 tool to create and handle very quickly a sqlite3 database in an application

Silly DB

Quick and easy SQLite database for local python applications.

Is it an ORM ?

It is indeed a reversed ORM:

• The structure of the DB is built from classic .sql files.
• Then the magic occures to get the models from the DB itself. Usually, an ORM does the contrary.

Some minimum SQL knowledge is required, the purpose of Silly DB is not to get rid of SQL (actualy, SQL is the best language to manage... a SQL database), but to handle the a lot of boring things, and let you focus on your application with a minimum amount of code.

The required knowledge and much more is available here :

• SQLite.org

You should consider using :

• DB Browser for SQLite
• SQLite Studio

No need to be an expert, just understand own to create a DB and use 'SELECT' will be fine.

Installation

$ pip install silly_db

Fast way to begin

Create a new directory and open a console in there.

Get a basic working structure with 'plop':

$ python3 -m silly_db.plop db

Congratulations ! You've got your database ready to work ! To understand how it works, open the differents files provided and read the comments, it will be easy to adapt to your own needs.

Person = db.model('person')

Cat.insert(name="Kutty", owner_id=1)
