Mapping entities to the database tables
After the Database
object is created, entities are defined, and a database is bound, the next step is to map entities to the database tables using the generate_mapping()
method:
db.generate_mapping(create_tables=True)
This method creates tables, foreign key references and indexes if they don’t exist. After entities are mapped, you can start working with them in your Python code - select, create, modify objects and save them in the database.
