Database

Starlette is not strictly tied to any particular database implementation.

You are free to use any async database library that you prefer. Some popular options include:

• SQLAlchemy - The Python SQL toolkit with native async support (2.0+).
• SQLModel - SQL databases in Python, designed for simplicity, built on top of SQLAlchemy and Pydantic.
• Tortoise ORM - An easy-to-use asyncio ORM inspired by Django.
• Piccolo - A fast, user-friendly ORM and query builder.

Refer to your chosen database library's documentation for specific connection and query patterns.
