When you want to store data from a program, you have two general choices: files or databases. In this course, we're going to explore using a database from within Python by using the excellent ORM Peewee. We'll build a command line diary application that stores our thoughts and notes in a SQLite database, lets us review and delete them, and even has a search feature!
One way of interacting with a database from Python is to use the Peewee ORM. An ORM, or Object Relational Mapping, turns database tables into Python objects and vice versa. Let's see how to create tables and manipulate data in them.
