It lets you treat Solr collections as database tables, enabling both raw SQL execution and SQLAlchemy ORM-style queries. The dialect handles field mapping, multi-valued fields as SQL arrays, date range filtering, and Solr aliases as virtual tables.\n\nThe package depends on sqlalchemy, python-dateutil, requests, and sqlparse to manage connection pooling, date arithmetic, HTTP communication with Solr, and SQL parsing. It supports basic and JWT authentication, optional SSL/TLS, and integrates with tools like Apache Superset. Compatibility varies by Solr version: aliases work from 6.6 onward, SQL compilation caching and built-in date range compilation are available only in Solr 9.x.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to query Solr from Python using SQL or SQLAlchemy ORM and your Solr version is 6.0 or higher. The low install friction, permissive MIT license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it safe to adopt. However, the aging maintenance status (no recent commits, last release August 2024) means you should verify compatibility with your specific Solr and SQLAlchemy versions before committing to production use."},"id":"sqlalchemy-solr","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-solr","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-solr.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-solr/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-solr","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Apache Solr Dialect for SQLAlchemy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":86589,"position":13848,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.4.3"}
