sqlalchemy_aio
==============

|PyPI Version| |Documentation| |Travis| |Coverage| |MIT License|

``sqlalchemy_aio`` adds asyncio and `Trio`_ support to SQLAlchemy core, derived
from `alchimia`_.

.. _alchimia: https://github.com/alex/alchimia
.. _Trio: https://github.com/python-trio/trio


Getting started
---------------

.. code-block:: python

    import asyncio

    from sqlalchemy_aio import ASYNCIO_STRATEGY

    from sqlalchemy import (
        Column, Integer, MetaData, Table, Text, create_engine, select)
    from sqlalchemy.schema import CreateTable, DropTable


    async def main():
        engine = create_engine(
            # In-memory sqlite database cannot be accessed from different
            # threads, use file.
            'sqlite:///test.db', strategy=ASYNCIO_STRATEGY
        )

        metadata = MetaData()
        users = Table(
            'users', metadata,
            Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
            Column('name', Text),
        )

        # Create the table
        await engine.execute(CreateTable(users))

        conn = await engine.connect()

        # Insert some users
        await conn.execute(users.insert().values(name='Jeremy Goodwin'))
        await conn.execute(users.insert().values(name='Natalie Hurley'))
        await conn.execute(users.insert().values(name='Dan Rydell'))
        await conn.execute(users.insert().values(name='Casey McCall'))
        await conn.execute(users.insert().values(name='Dana Whitaker'))

        result = await conn.execute(users.select(users.c.name.startswith('D')))
        d_users = await result.fetchall()

        await conn.close()

        # Print out the users
        for user in d_users:
            print('Username: %s' % user[users.c.name])

        # Supports context async managers
        async with engine.connect() as conn:
            async with conn.begin() as trans:
                assert await conn.scalar(select([1])) == 1

        await engine.execute(DropTable(users))


    if __name__ == '__main__':
        loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        loop.run_until_complete(main())

Getting started with Trio
-------------------------

To use the above example with `Trio`_, just change the following:

.. code-block:: python

    import trio
    from sqlalchemy_aio import TRIO_STRATEGY

    async def main():
        engine = create_engine('sqlite:///test.db', strategy=TRIO_STRATEGY)

        ...

    trio.run(main)

What is this?
-------------

It's *not* an ``asyncio`` implementation of SQLAlchemy or the drivers it uses.
``sqlalchemy_aio`` lets you use SQLAlchemy by running operations in a separate
thread.

If you're already using `run_in_executor`_ to execute SQLAlchemy tasks,
``sqlalchemy_aio`` will work well with similar performance. If performance is
critical, perhaps `asyncpg`_ can help.
