# SQLTable

A Library Inspired by SQLModel that merges Msgspec and SQLAlchemy together. 



## Example



```python

from sqltable import SQLTable, Column, table

from typing import Optional, Annotated



# SQLAlchemy can be directly used for all database operations

from sqlalchemy import select



# SQLTable is a subclass of msgspec.Struct



# This would be an example of using SQLTable as a declarative base

class IDTable(SQLTable):

    id:Annotated[Optional[int], Column(primary_key=True)] = None



# When using a table wrapper we declare the table for use in our database

# This is different from SQLModel as there is less lag/overhang during our inital setup.

@table

class NameTable(IDTable, kw_only=True):

    name:str



if __name__ == "__main__":

    print(select(NameTable).where(NameTable.id > 1))

    

```



## Why SQLTable

As a fan of __SQLModel__ I was fond of the way it worked over just sqlalchemy but as 

I started using it more, I noticed many flaws as well as a large amount of unrequired spaghetti-code.

As I started to dig out the problems I was experiencing such as lag in load-times, relationships not 

loading into the json responses as well as the slow response times to pull requests I finally decided 

enough was enough and If I would be honest I am kinda glad I found msgspec soon after to satisfy this 

slowness as well as cut time-consumptions down. Originally I was going to develop my own library called

[CyClass](https://github.com/Vizonex/Cyclass) due to the difficulty of wrapping msgspec to sqlalchemy but 

as time rolled on I began to find many intresting results as well as better solutions to my problems 

and so now here we are, another successful library that I relate a lot to my first challenge which was winloop. 

And If I am going to be fair, why write a class twice when you could only do it once with SQLTable? 



There still maybe cases where you might need SQLModel still so I will see about thinking of ways you could use 

both of them at the same time.



I hope SQLTable will be the future of databases and I can't wait to see what you, other people as 

well as what companies big and small will end up doing with it. 



SQLTable still has a long way to go and I plan to make a way to use `AsyncAttrs` with it.



# NOTES

- This Library is going to get changed a lot until then this is still all in testing phase

- I am changing how the api works a ton thanks to inputs/comments from [the SQLAlchemy Devs](https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/discussions/12278#discussioncomment-11972815)



## TODOs

- [ ] Pypi Release

- [ ] Youtube Presentation (Maybe if I am up to it mentally)
