[sqlalchemy] simplest pattern to query a database

2010-02-10 Thread Tarek Ziadé
Hi,

I am using this pattern to execute a simple query on a database:

def execute(sqluri, query):
engine = create_engine(sqluri)
connection = engine.connect()
try:
connection.execute(query)
finally:
connection.close()

I was wondering if this was the best pattern, or if something simpler exists..


Regards
Tarek

engine.execute(query) is certainly simpler.But don't create_engine() many 
times in one application for the same URL, thats like configuring a log handler 
everytime you need to log something.
