Problem
Currently, while users can customize the database URL via
db_url
traitlet, theDatabaseManager.create_session
andDatabaseManager.create_tables
functions inorm.py
are tightly coupled to SQLAlchemy, which essentially means that while users can specify different database URLs they must be SQLAlchemy-compatible which is limiting.Proposed solution / Code changes
Introduce extensible
DatabaseManager
class that can be configured via traitlets.User-facing changes
None
Backwards-incompatible changes
