Nucleon Database Master vs. SQLAlchemy vs. TablePlus vs. ThinkSQL Comparison Chart

SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and object-relational mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL. SQL databases behave less like object collections the more size and performance start to matter; object collections behave less like tables and rows the more abstraction starts to matter. SQLAlchemy aims to accommodate both of these principles. SQLAlchemy considers the database to be a relational algebra engine, not just a collection of tables. Rows can be selected from not only tables but also joins and other select statements; any of these units can be composed into a larger structure. SQLAlchemy's expression language builds on this concept from its core. SQLAlchemy is most famous for its object-relational mapper (ORM), an optional component that provides the data mapper pattern.

ThinkSQL is a powerful, cross-platform relational database management system designed for modern operating systems and hardware. It aims to comply fully with the ISO SQL standard to provide an open and flexible SQL server for your applications. Compliance with the SQL standard means it supports transactions, sub-selects, views, set operators (union, except, intersect), access privileges and comprehensive referential constraints to ensure the integrity of your data. ThinkSQL uses a multi-versioning engine to provide consistent views of data and concurrent access to rows without locking. The server also has stored procedures and functions (using the standard syntax), and has support for large multimedia objects. It's easy to install, runs on Windows ® and Linux ®, and has native ODBC, JDBC™, dbExpress™ and Python drivers so your applications can connect directly from any platform.
