It abstracts database interactions across SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle, reducing boilerplate, preventing SQL injection through parameterized queries, and centralizing schema definitions. The package is built on asyncio and integrates with async frameworks.\n\nYou define models by inheriting from tortoise.models.Model, then initialize Tortoise to establish relationships and connect to your database. Once initialized, you can create, filter, and query records using async methods like .create(), .filter(), and .prefetch_related(). The package includes a built-in migration CLI for version-controlled schema changes, and supports complex operations like many-to-many relationships, nested prefetching, and filtering across related models.","worth_installing":"Yes. Tortoise ORM is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively under Apache-2.0. It is a solid choice for async Python projects that need to work with relational databases and want a Django-like API. Install it if you are building async applications and prefer ORM abstraction over raw SQL; skip it if you need synchronous database access or prefer a different query style."},"id":"tortoise-orm","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tortoise-orm","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tortoise-orm.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tortoise-orm/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"tortoise-orm","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Easy async ORM for python, built with relations in mind"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":636466,"position":5626,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.8"}
