Using a client of your choice connect to your MariaDB instance and execute the following statement: CREATE DATABASE company Preparing a Python EnvironmentĪfter establishing access to MariaDB Server, it’s time to create a new Python application. Once you’ve downloaded, installed, and gained access to a MariaDB database instance you’ll need to add the company database that we use for the walkthrough. Deploy with MariaDB SkySQL, MariaDB’s database-as-a-service (DBaaS).

Download and install MariaDB Enterprise Server.Download and install MariaDB Community Server.There are a variety of ways you can get started with MariaDB on your local machine, on-premises, or even in the cloud. In order to use MariaDB Connector/Python you’ll need to have access to an instance of MariaDB Server. Requirementsīefore jumping into code, you’ll need to make sure you have a few things on your machine: Now that the PR has been accepted and merged, SQLAlchemy v.1.4+ includes support that enables developers to use MariaDB Connector/Python as the underlying driver. Recently MariaDB engineers submitted pull requests (PR) to the SQLAlchemy repository to add support for the MariaDB dialect.

In this walkthrough we’ll be focusing on a library called SQLAlchemy, which is a Python SQL toolkit and object relational mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL. For some, object-relational mapping (ORM) tools and libraries help to offload boilerplate code for things like data access and object persistence. Integrating an application with a backing database, like MariaDB, can involve a significant amount of effort to plan and manage interactions like accessing, querying, and persisting data.
It goes without saying that creating new applications is a daunting task. In this blog, we’ll walk through the process for creating a Python application that uses MariaDB Connector/Python and SQLAlchemy to connect to and communicate with a MariaDB database instance.įor those of you that prefer to jump directly into the code you can find all of the source code for this walkthrough here.
Ultimately, that’s one of the reasons why the Python language has become so popular. Python is a very powerful and versatile programming language, capable of being used in a large variety of applications, solutions, and integrations. Based on the overwhelmingly positive response that MariaDB Connector/Python has received, we’re going to develop additional tutorials and sample code to help showcase how easy it is for you to use MariaDB Connector/Python within your solutions.

Last year we released the new MariaDB Python connector and published a blog post on how to get started using it in your applications.
