I'm using SQLAlchemy from within Django, and I can access the thread-local database connection object in Django:
from django.db import connection
Given that connection
object, can I use it to instantiate a SQLAlchemy engine?
All of the documentation I've read about creating a SQLAlchemy engine requires providing a database URL string.
Is there a way I can create an SA engine by providing an existing connection?
My goal here is to avoid opening 2 database connections where I do not have to.
