# SQLite in memory
db = DatabaseFacade()

# MySQL, localhost, no user, no password, used database blog
db = DatabaseFacade('mysql', dbname='blog')
db = DatabaseFacade(provider='mysql', dbname='blog')

# PostgreSQL
db = DatabaseFacade()
db.bind('postgres',
        host='my.vps.com',
        user='anyone',
        password='anykey',
        dbname='blog')

Connection

To connect to the database, use the connect method. This method takes the same arguments as generate_mapping, but the default for create_tables is True. This method also calls the bind method.

db = DatabaseFacade()
db.connect()
