🚀 Async SQLAlchemy Learning Repository

This repository is a self-learning and educational resource for working with SQLAlchemy in asynchronous Python environments. It covers all major parts of SQLAlchemy including Core, ORM, Async engine, and Alembic for migrations. It also demonstrates how to test async database code using pytest.

---

📚 What You'll Learn

✅ SQLAlchemy Async Fundamentals

• Setting up AsyncEngine with asyncpg
• Connecting and querying using Core syntax
• Using the ORM with async sessions and models
• Executing queries using both Core and ORM in an async context

🧠 Query Examples

Each query is implemented both in Core and ORM styles:

• SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
• Filtering, ordering, and pagination
• Transactions and session management
• Aggregate functions like COUNT(), SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), MAX()

❗ Note: This repo does not cover many-to-many relationships.

🧪 Testing Async SQLAlchemy

• Using pytest with pytest-asyncio
• Creating a conftest.py to manage test DB sessions
• One working async test included as an example

📦 Alembic Migrations

• Alembic initialized and configured for async SQLAlchemy
• Commands to autogenerate and apply migrations
• Versioned migrations for schema tracking

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Python 3.8+
• SQLAlchemy 2.x (with async support)
• PostgreSQL (or any compatible async-supported DB)
• asyncpg (DB driver)
• Alembic
• Pytest + pytest-asyncio
