What you'll learn

Modern Python applications often need to store, retrieve, and manage relational data efficiently. In this course, Python: Relational Database Integration, you’ll learn to integrate relational databases into Python applications. First, you’ll explore local SQLite databases with the Python standard library sqlite3 module. Next, you’ll discover ORMs with SQLAlchemy and integrate them with multiple databases using Python, no SQL. Finally, you’ll learn how to refine your application to use async functions, transactions, and manage changes to the data model. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of relational databases needed to interact with relational data in your Python applications.
