The first step to achieve any efficient access to your database is to build an optimal model for your database. If a model is not optimal, the rest of the techniques to speed up access to the database will make very little difference.
But before we dive into how we can build an optimal model for the database, let's first see how we can actually build any model for our database using SQLAlchemy.
