Using MySQL with SQLAlchemy: Hands-on Examples

This post provides a hands-on tutorial for using SQLAlchemy 2.0 with PlanetScale's MySQL-compatible databases. It covers setting up the SQLAlchemy engine using database credentials, executing raw SQL statements for table creation and data manipulation, and demonstrates how to use SQLAlchemy's ORM to define data models and relationships. It also touches upon PlanetScale's branching workflow and its support for foreign key constraints.
