Flask-SQLAlchemy is a Flask extension that integrates SQLAlchemy, providing sensible defaults and helpers for defining models and managing sessions in Flask applications. It is part of the Pallets Community Ecosystem and simplifies common database tasks like model declaration, session handling, and schema creation.

Use cases

• add sqlalchemy to a flask app
• define database models in flask
• manage database sessions in flask
• create sqlite database tables from flask
• use an orm with flask
• connect flask to postgres or mysql

When to choose

• you're building a Flask app that needs a relational database
• you want SQLAlchemy integration with Flask-specific defaults and helpers
• you want a maintained extension from the Pallets ecosystem

When to avoid

• you're not using Flask
• you prefer configuring SQLAlchemy directly without wrapper helpers
• you need an async-first ORM integration for async Flask apps
