import databases\n\n# Define an async database URL\nDATABASE_URL = "sqlite:///example.db"\n\ndatabase = databases.Database(DATABASE_URL)\n\nasync def connect_to_db():\n    await database.connect()\n\nasync def disconnect_from_db():\n    await database.disconnect()\n

Advanced databases Example

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, MetaData, Table, Column, Integer, String\nimport databases\n\nDATABASE_URL = "sqlite:///advanced_example.db"\n\n# SQLAlchemy Core setup\nmetadata = MetaData()\n\nnotes = Table(\n    "notes",\n    metadata,\n    Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),\n    Column("text", String, nullable=False)\n)\n\n# Database and table creation\nengine = create_engine(DATABASE_URL)\nmetadata.create_all(engine)\n\ndatabase = databases.Database(DATABASE_URL)\n\nasync def create_note():\n    query = notes.insert().values(text="Learn Python Async DB")\n    await database.execute(query)\n
