This configuration is responsible for defining how Prefect REST API creates and manages database connections and sessions. **Methods:** #### `begin_transaction` ```python theme={null} begin_transaction(self, session: AsyncSession, with_for_update: bool = False) -> AbstractAsyncContextManager[AsyncSessionTransaction] ``` Enter a transaction for a session #### `create_db` ```python theme={null} create_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Create the database #### `drop_db` ```python theme={null} drop_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Drop the database #### `engine` ```python theme={null} engine(self) -> AsyncEngine ``` Returns a SqlAlchemy engine #### `is_inmemory` ```python theme={null} is_inmemory(self) -> bool ``` Returns true if database is run in memory #### `session` ```python theme={null} session(self, engine: AsyncEngine) -> AsyncSession ``` Retrieves a SQLAlchemy session for an engine. #### `unique_key` ```python theme={null} unique_key(self) -> tuple[Hashable, ...] ``` Returns a key used to determine whether to instantiate a new DB interface. ### `AsyncPostgresConfiguration` **Methods:** #### `begin_transaction` ```python theme={null} begin_transaction(self, session: AsyncSession, with_for_update: bool = False) -> AsyncGenerator[AsyncSessionTransaction, None] ``` #### `begin_transaction` ```python theme={null} begin_transaction(self, session: AsyncSession, with_for_update: bool = False) -> AbstractAsyncContextManager[AsyncSessionTransaction] ``` Enter a transaction for a session #### `create_db` ```python theme={null} create_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Create the database #### `create_db` ```python theme={null} create_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Create the database #### `drop_db` ```python theme={null} drop_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Drop the database #### `drop_db` ```python theme={null} drop_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Drop the database #### `engine` ```python theme={null} engine(self) -> AsyncEngine ``` Retrieves an async SQLAlchemy engine. **Args:** * `connection_url`: The database connection string. Defaults to self.connection\_url * `echo`: Whether to echo SQL sent to the database. Defaults to self.echo * `timeout`: The database statement timeout, in seconds. Defaults to self.timeout **Returns:** * a SQLAlchemy engine #### `engine` ```python theme={null} engine(self) -> AsyncEngine ``` Returns a SqlAlchemy engine #### `is_inmemory` ```python theme={null} is_inmemory(self) -> bool ``` Returns true if database is run in memory #### `is_inmemory` ```python theme={null} is_inmemory(self) -> bool ``` Returns true if database is run in memory #### `schedule_engine_disposal` ```python theme={null} schedule_engine_disposal(self, cache_key: _EngineCacheKey) -> None ``` Dispose of an engine once the event loop is closing. See caveats at `add_event_loop_shutdown_callback`. We attempted to lazily clean up old engines when new engines are created, but if the loop the engine is attached to is already closed then the connections cannot be cleaned up properly and warnings are displayed. Engine disposal should only be important when running the application ephemerally. Notably, this is an issue in our tests where many short-lived event loops and engines are created which can consume all of the available database connection slots. Users operating at a scale where connection limits are encountered should be encouraged to use a standalone server. #### `session` ```python theme={null} session(self, engine: AsyncEngine) -> AsyncSession ``` Retrieves a SQLAlchemy session for an engine. **Args:** * `engine`: a sqlalchemy engine #### `session` ```python theme={null} session(self, engine: AsyncEngine) -> AsyncSession ``` Retrieves a SQLAlchemy session for an engine. #### `unique_key` ```python theme={null} unique_key(self) -> tuple[Hashable, ...] ``` Returns a key used to determine whether to instantiate a new DB interface. ### `AioSqliteConfiguration` **Methods:** #### `begin_sqlite_conn` ```python theme={null} begin_sqlite_conn(self, conn: aiosqlite.AsyncAdapt_aiosqlite_connection) -> None ``` #### `begin_sqlite_stmt` ```python theme={null} begin_sqlite_stmt(self, conn: sa.Connection) -> None ``` #### `begin_transaction` ```python theme={null} begin_transaction(self, session: AsyncSession, with_for_update: bool = False) -> AsyncGenerator[AsyncSessionTransaction, None] ``` #### `begin_transaction` ```python theme={null} begin_transaction(self, session: AsyncSession, with_for_update: bool = False) -> AbstractAsyncContextManager[AsyncSessionTransaction] ``` Enter a transaction for a session #### `create_db` ```python theme={null} create_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Create the database #### `create_db` ```python theme={null} create_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Create the database #### `drop_db` ```python theme={null} drop_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Drop the database #### `drop_db` ```python theme={null} drop_db(self, connection: AsyncConnection, base_metadata: sa.MetaData) -> None ``` Drop the database #### `engine` ```python theme={null} engine(self) -> AsyncEngine ``` Retrieves an async SQLAlchemy engine. **Args:** * `connection_url`: The database connection string. Defaults to self.connection\_url * `echo`: Whether to echo SQL sent to the database. Defaults to self.echo * `timeout`: The database statement timeout, in seconds. Defaults to self.timeout **Returns:** * a SQLAlchemy engine #### `engine` ```python theme={null} engine(self) -> AsyncEngine ``` Returns a SqlAlchemy engine #### `is_inmemory` ```python theme={null} is_inmemory(self) -> bool ``` Returns true if database is run in memory #### `is_inmemory` ```python theme={null} is_inmemory(self) -> bool ``` Returns true if database is run in memory #### `schedule_engine_disposal` ```python theme={null} schedule_engine_disposal(self, cache_key: _EngineCacheKey) -> None ``` Dispose of an engine once the event loop is closing. See caveats at `add_event_loop_shutdown_callback`.

PRAGMAs only last for the duration of the connection. See [https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html) for more info. #### `unique_key` ```python theme={null} unique_key(self) -> tuple[Hashable, ...] ``` Returns a key used to determine whether to instantiate a new DB interface.
