Databases in Python
Creating Your First Model
In SQLAlchemy, creating a model involves defining a Python class that corresponds to a table in the database. Each instance of this class represents a row in the table. Let’s walk through a simple example where we create a Comment
model for storing user comments.
This defines a Python class called Comment
, which represents a table in the database. The class inherits from Base
, which enables it to be mapped to a table in the database.
The Comment
class, inheriting from Base
, defines a table in the database. This allows it to be mapped to a database table using Object-Relational Mapping (ORM).
The id
field serves as the primary key, ensuring that each comment has a unique identifier. SQLAlchemy automatically increments the value for each new record.
The id

The created_at
field automatically stores the timestamp for when the comment was created. If no value is provided, it is set to the current time using datetime.utcnow
, ensuring the timestamp is recorded in UTC.
This line creates all the tables in the database that were defined in the models. It uses the information from the metadata and creates the necessary tables through the connection provided by the engine. This is useful for automatically creating tables if they don't already exist.

In this task, you are provided with a starting point for defining an SQLAlchemy model. Your job is to complete the model by filling in the missing pieces.
- The
__tablename__
attribute specifies the table name in the database. Replace the placeholder with the correct table name for theUser
model. - The
id
column should be marked as the primary key. Add the correct keyword argument to indicate this. - The
username
column should be unique, meaning no two users can have the same username. Fill in the missing keyword argument. - The
is_active
column should have a default value ofTrue
. Add the proper argument to set this default value.
