db.session.add()
There is another way of inserting records into our database, rather than entering a client like psql and using INSERT INTO SQL commands; we can call db.session from SQLAlchemy to create records using instances of our defined SQLAlchemy models.
In interactive mode, import db and your Person model. (这里说的Person是数据库的名字)
$ cd YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY $ python3 >>> from flask_example import db, Person
Then, create an instance of a Person, setting its attributes, and setting it equal to a variable person.
>>> person = Person(name='Amy')
We are going to call db.session.add(), a method on the Session interface in SQLAlchemy, to add this object to a session.
>>> db.session.add(person)
This will queue up a INSERT INTO persons (name) VALUES (‘Amy’); statement in a transaction that is managed by db.session.
We. can then call db.session.commit()
>>> db.session.commit()
and that person record will now exist in our persons table, within our database. You can double-check this is in psql by running SELECt * from persons; command from psql.
In summary
We can insert new records into the database using SQLAlchemy by running
person = Person(name='Amy') db.session.add(person) db.seesion.commit()
which will build a transaction for inserting in a person instance in our model/table, and persist it to the database upon calling commit().
