dataset is a Python library that makes reading and writing data in SQL databases as simple as working with JSON files. It provides implicit table creation, bulk loading, and transaction support on top of SQLAlchemy.

Use cases

• store python dicts in a sql database without writing schema
• quickly persist scraped data to sqlite
• bulk load rows into a database table
• use a database as a simple key-value or document store
• prototype data pipelines without writing sql

When to choose

• you want dead-simple database access in Python scripts
• you need implicit table creation and schema-free inserts
• you're building small ETL or data-loading utilities
• you want SQLAlchemy power without writing ORM models

When to avoid

• you need fine-grained control over migrations and schema
• you're building a large application needing a full ORM
• you need high-performance bulk operations at massive scale
• you need NoSQL databases rather than SQL stores
