Installation

SQLAlchemy-Mimer supports Python 3.8+ and SQLAlchemy 2.0+.

---

1. Requirements

Before installation, ensure that: - Mimer SQL is installed and reachable on your system.
You can download Mimer SQL for various platforms from the official website:
https://developer.mimer.com/downloads/ - The MimerPy driver (Python interface for Mimer SQL) is installed.

You can install both SQLAlchemy-Mimer and its dependencies using pip:

python -m pip install sqlalchemy-mimer

This will automatically install: - sqlalchemy (if not already present) - mimerpy (for database connectivity)

---

2. Verifying the installation

You can confirm the dialect is registered correctly:

from sqlalchemy.dialects import registry

print(registry.load("mimer"))
# <class 'sqlalchemy_mimer.dialect.MimerDialect'>

Or simply try connecting:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine("mimer://SYSADM:SYSPASS@localhost:1360/demo")
with engine.connect() as conn:
    print(conn.exec_driver_sql("select current_user from system.onerow").fetchone())

---

3. Optional development installation

To work with the source tree directly:

git clone https://github.com/yourname/sqlalchemy-mimer.git
cd sqlalchemy-mimer
python -m pip install -e .
