Day 23 of #100DaysOfCode in Python: Databases in the Limelight

1. The Importance of Databases

Databases are foundational for many applications, especially web apps. They allow you to store data persistently, ensuring that user information, application data, or any other critical details aren’t lost when an application restarts or stops running.

SQLite is a C-language library that provides a lightweight, disk-based database. It doesn’t require a separate server process to function.

Benefits:

• Portability: SQLite databases are serverless and self-contained, making it easy to set up and maintain.
• Ideal for Development: Due to its simplicity, SQLite is often the database of choice during the development phase of an app.

3. Introduction to SQLAlchemy

SQLAlchemy is a popular SQL toolkit and Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Python. It provides an efficient way to interact with databases using Python.

Why use SQLAlchemy?:
