THE COLLABORATION OF PYTHON AND DATABASES: A MODERN APPROACH TO DATA-DRIVEN APPLICATIONS

In the era of data-driven decision-making, the synergy between programming languages and database systems has become paramount. This study explores the integration of Python—a versatile and widely-used programming language—with relational databases such as SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Employing libraries like sqlite3, psycopg2, and Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tools such as SQLAlchemy and Django ORM, the research demonstrates how Python facilitates efficient database interactions. Through practical implementations and performance benchmarks, the study highlights Python's strengths in simplicity, scalability, and a rich ecosystem, while also addressing limitations like concurrency handling and performance constraints in high-load scenarios. The findings underscore Python's efficacy as a tool for students and researchers in developing robust, data-centric applications.
