It allows Python developers to interact with Vertica databases using SQLAlchemy's standard APIs rather than raw SQL or Vertica-specific drivers. The package depends on six and sqlalchemy as runtime dependencies and supports multiple connection backends (pyodbc, turbodbc, or vertica-python), which must be installed separately.\n\nThe package is a community fork of an earlier sqlalchemy-vertica that was removed from PyPI. According to its own documentation, it is not state-of-the-art and does not follow current SQLAlchemy dialect standards. Development has stalled since early 2020, with no releases or commits for over two years, making it a legacy tool that may not work reliably with modern SQLAlchemy or Vertica versions.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining a legacy application already bound to this package. The dialect is abandoned (no commits since 2021), likely incompatible with modern SQLAlchemy versions, and the maintainer explicitly states it does not follow current SQLAlchemy standards. For new projects, seek an actively maintained Vertica dialect or use Vertica's native Python driver directly."},"id":"sqlalchemy-vertica","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-vertica","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-vertica.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-vertica/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-01-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-vertica","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Vertica dialect for sqlalchemy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":221672,"position":9274,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.5"}
