Syntax

As close as possible to SQL

The classes / methods / functions in Piccolo mirror their SQL counterparts as closely as possible.

For example:

• In other ORMs, you define models - in Piccolo you define tables.

• Rather than using a filter method, you use a where method like in SQL.

Get the SQL at any time

At any time you can access the __str__ method of a query, to see the underlying SQL - making the ORM feel less magic.

>>> query = Band.select(Band.name).where(Band.popularity >= 100)
>>> print(query)
'SELECT name from band where popularity > 100'
