Store Inventory with SQLAlchemy

(View this project from GitHub)

This project focuses on developing a console application for managing a store's inventory, leveraging the power of SQLAlchemy as the Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tool. It requires a solid understanding of CSV handling, file input/output operations, and database management.

Key Features:

• User Interaction: The application allows users to interact seamlessly with the inventory data, making it easy to view, create, and modify records.

• Data Preparation: Prior to integration into the database, the application performs necessary data cleaning on the imported CSV files, ensuring the information is accurate and reliable.

• ORM Integration: All record interactions are facilitated through ORM methods, promoting a clean and efficient code structure.

• CSV Backup: Users can export updated inventory records to a new CSV file, ensuring data is preserved and easily accessible.

Technical Skills Utilized:

Python: Core programming language for application development

CSV Handling: Techniques for reading and writing CSV files

File I/O: Efficient management of file input and output operations

Database Management: Utilizing SQLAlchemy for database interactions

Object-Relational Mapping (ORM): Simplifying database operations through ORM methods

Data Cleaning: Ensuring data integrity before database insertion

Version Control: Using tools like Git for source code management

This project effectively demonstrates my ability to develop a robust console application for managing a store's inventory using SQLAlchemy as an ORM tool. By focusing on user interaction, data preparation, and seamless integration of features, I ensured that the application is both functional and user-friendly. Through this experience, I enhanced my skills in Python, CSV handling, and database management, laying a strong foundation for future projects in software development.
