It wraps the view definition (typically a SELECT statement) and compiles it to the appropriate CREATE VIEW or DROP VIEW SQL for execution.\n\nThe package is designed for developers who want to manage views programmatically within SQLAlchemy applications, supporting common options like OR REPLACE, IF EXISTS, CASCADE, and dialect-specific view options. It relies entirely on sqlalchemy as its runtime dependency and has remained stable because it builds on SQLAlchemy's core, stable APIs rather than internal details.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to manage database views within SQLAlchemy code. The package is small, stable, and has no known vulnerabilities. Install friction is minimal (one dependency). The main caveat is that it supports only a core subset of SQL dialects\u2014if your database uses nonstandard CREATE/DROP VIEW syntax, you may need to fall back to raw SQL or check whether your dialect is covered."},"id":"sqlalchemy-views","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-views","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-views.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-views/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-02-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sqlalchemy-views","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Adds CreateView and DropView constructs to SQLAlchemy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":150750,"position":10955,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.2"}
