It uses the modern firebird-driver as its underlying DB-API 2.0 implementation, enabling developers to work with Firebird using familiar SQLAlchemy patterns\u2014create_engine, declarative models, and query expressions\u2014rather than raw SQL or lower-level driver calls.\n\nThe package targets SQLAlchemy 2.0+ and Firebird 3.0+, reflecting a focus on modern versions. Connection strings follow the standard SQLAlchemy URL format, with support for local, remote, and embedded server configurations. Query parameters allow fine-tuning of character sets and client library paths, making it adaptable to different Firebird deployments.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to use Firebird with SQLAlchemy. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively. It targets modern Python (3.11+) and current Firebird versions (3.0+). The main consideration is whether your Firebird deployment and client library setup can be configured to work with firebird-driver."},"id":"sqlalchemy-firebird","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-firebird","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-firebird.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-firebird/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-firebird","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Firebird for SQLAlchemy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":128891,"position":11692,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
