It allows you to use SQLAlchemy's ORM and expression language to query and manipulate Vertica databases without needing ODBC or other system-level drivers. The package was forked from an earlier ODBC-based dialect and is maintained by BlueLabs.\n\nYou create a Vertica engine by specifying a connection URL with the vertica+vertica_python scheme, then use standard SQLAlchemy patterns to define tables, run queries, and manage transactions. The documentation notes a quirk: Vertica sequences must be explicitly declared for primary keys rather than relying on auto-increment, since direct ID insertion will fail.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already committed to Vertica and SQLAlchemy and can tolerate dormant maintenance. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but expect no active support or updates. Verify that vertica-python itself meets your needs and that the dialect works with your target SQLAlchemy and Vertica versions before adopting it for new projects."},"id":"sqlalchemy-vertica-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-vertica-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-vertica-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-vertica-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-06-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-vertica-python","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Vertica dialect for sqlalchemy using vertica_python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":196149,"position":9797,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.3"}
