SQLAlchemy is a database toolkit that provides an abstraction over databases. It allows you to interact with relational databases using an object relational mapper or through a pythonic sql rendering engine known as the core.

The Teradata Dialect is an implementation of SQLAlchemy's Dialect System. It implements various classes that are specific to interacting with the teradata dbapi, construction of sql specific to Teradata, and more. The project is still in an incubation phase. See test/usage_test for how the dialect is used for the core expression language api.

* Have a simple setup process and a minimal learning curve
* Provide a simple core that is modular and extensible
* Be an easy way to interact with the database out of the box

* We welcome your contributions in: Documentation, Bug Reporting, Tests, and Code (Features & Bug Fixes)
* You can contribute to our documentation by going to our github wiki.
* All code submissions are done through pull requests. 

The project uses pytest. You can run pytest in the sqlalchemy-teradata directory with the py.testcommand. Typical usage:

py.test -s test/*
py.test -s test/test_suite.py
py.test -s test/test_suite.py::TestClass
py.test -s test/test_suite.py::TestClass::test_func
