Description:

SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL.

It is the most widely used ORM for Python. If you write SQL queries and use more than one database then this will be the most important tool in your arsenal.

Pros:

  • Same syntax for different databases.
  • Wide range of supported databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, MS-SQL, Firebird, Sybase etc.)
  • No more SQL consoles as you can setup your entire database through a single command.
  • Secure ( Say no to SQL Injections )
