Connecting to the Database

Before you can start working with entities you have to create the Database object. The entities, that you declare in your Python code, will be mapped to the database through this object.

Mapping entities to the database can be divided into four steps:

  • Creating the Database object

  • Defining entities which are related to this Database object

  • Binding the Database object to a specific database

  • Mapping entities to the database tables

Now we’ll describe the main workflow of working with the Database object and its methods. When you’ll need more details on this, you can find them in the API Reference.
