The power of SQL mixed with the smartness of object-relational mapping

Introduction

I have used SQLObject and I constantly ran into problems that needed to be hacked away. Then I tried SQLAlchemy, but it was the same limitations. I needed expressiveness badly and control over my queries. Then I thought, I will build something that has the power of SQL and the smartness of object-relational mapping... And that's when I coded AmiDB!

Tutorials

Configuration

dbinfo = amidb.AmiDBInfo(user='myuser', password='mypwd', db='testdb')
db_pool = amidb.ConnectionPool(dbinfo)

con = db_pool.getConnection()
#print con.select('table', id=5)
db_pool.releaseConnection(con)

Example of use

Here is how queries look like using AmiDB:

Inserting a person into the table person: 

amir_id = db.insert("person", name="Amir Salihefendic", age=20)

Selecting a person from the table person: 

amir = db.select("person", name="Amir Salihefendic", as_one=True)
print amir.name

Selecting all persons from the table person and printing them out: 

all_persons = db.select("person")
for person in all_persons:
  print "%s is %i old" % (person.name, person.age)

Decorating a person with one extra method: 

class Person:
  def getName(self):
    return "My name is %s" % self.name
amir = db.select("person", id=amir_id, obj_deco=Person, as_one=True)
print amir.getName()
