+# Tips
+
+## Querying
+
+For make querying to the database work, there are two alternatives:
+
+* Expose the db session when you create the `graphene.Schema`:
+
+```python
+schema = graphene.Schema(session=session)
+```
+
+* Create a query for the models.
+
+```python
+Base = declarative_base()
+Base.query = db_session.query_property()
+
+class MyModel(Base):
+	# ...
+```
+
+If you don't specify any, the following error will be displayed:
+
+`A query in the model Base or a session in the schema is required for querying.`

+title: Tutorial
+description: Using SQLAlchemy with Graphene
+---
+
+# SQLAlchemy + Flask Tutorial
+
+Graphene comes with builtin support to SQLAlchemy, which makes quite easy to operate with your current models.
+
+**Note: The code in this tutorial is pulled from the
+[Flask SQLAlchemy example app](https://github.com/graphql-python/graphene/tree/master/examples/flask_sqlalchemy)**.
+
+
+## Setup the Project
+
+We will setup the project, execute the following:
+
+```bash
+# Create the project directory
+mkdir flask_sqlalchemy
+cd flask_sqlalchemy
+
+# Create a virtualenv to isolate our package dependencies locally
+virtualenv env
+source env/bin/activate  # On Windows use `env\Scripts\activate`
+
+# SQLAlchemy and Graphene with SQLAlchemy support
+pip install SQLAlchemy
+pip install graphene[sqlalchemy]
+
+# Install Flask and GraphQL Flask for exposing the schema through HTTP
+pip install Flask
+pip install graphql-flask
+```
+
+## Defining our models
+
+Let's get started with these models:
+
+```python
+# flask_sqlalchemy/models.py
+from sqlalchemy import *
+from sqlalchemy.orm import (scoped_session, sessionmaker, relationship,
+                            backref)
+from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
+
+engine = create_engine('sqlite:///database.sqlite3', convert_unicode=True)
+db_session = scoped_session(sessionmaker(autocommit=False,
+                                         autoflush=False,
+                                         bind=engine))
+
+Base = declarative_base()
+# We will need this for querying
+Base.query = db_session.query_property()
+
+
+class Department(Base):
+    __tablename__ = 'department'
+    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
+    name = Column(String)
+
+
+class Employee(Base):
+    __tablename__ = 'employee'
+    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
+    name = Column(String)
+    hired_on = Column(DateTime, default=func.now())
+    department_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('department.id'))
+    department = relationship(
+        Department,
+        backref=backref('employees',
+                        uselist=True,
+                        cascade='delete,all'))
+```
+
+## Schema
+
+GraphQL presents your objects to the world as a graph structure rather than a more
+hierarchical structure to which you may be accustomed. In order to create this
+representation, Graphene needs to know about each *type* of object which will appear in
+the graph.
+
+This graph also has a *root type* through which all access begins. This is the `Query` class below.
+In this example, we provide the ability to list all employees via `all_employees`, and the
+ability to obtain a specific node via `node`.
+
+Create `flask_sqlalchemy/schema.py` and type the following:
+
+```python
+# flask_sqlalchemy/schema.py
+import graphene
+from graphene import relay
+from graphene.contrib.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemyNode, SQLAlchemyConnectionField
+from models import db_session, Department as DepartmentModel, Employee as EmployeeModel
+
+schema = graphene.Schema()
+
+
+@schema.register
+class Department(SQLAlchemyNode):
+    class Meta:
+        model = DepartmentModel
+
+
+@schema.register
+class Employee(SQLAlchemyNode):
+    class Meta:
+        model = EmployeeModel
+
+
+class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
+    node = relay.NodeField()
+    all_employees = SQLAlchemyConnectionField(Employee)
+
+schema.query = Query
+```
+
+## Creating GraphQL and GraphiQL views in Flask
+
+Unlike a RESTful API, there is only a single URL from which GraphQL is accessed.
+
+We are going to use Flask to create a server that expose the GraphQL schema under `/graphql` and a interface for querying it easily: GraphiQL under `/graphiql`.
+
+Afortunately for us, the library `graphql-flask` that we installed previously is making the task quite easy.
+
+```python
+# flask_sqlalchemy/app.py
+from flask import Flask
+from graphql_flask import GraphQL
+
+from models import db_session
+from schema import schema, Department
+
+app = Flask(__name__)
+app.debug = True
+
+# This is creating the `/graphql` and `/graphiql` endpoints
+GraphQL(app, schema=schema)
+
+@app.teardown_appcontext
+def shutdown_session(exception=None):
+    db_session.remove()
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    app.run()
+```
+
+
+## Creating some data
+
+```bash
+$ python
+
+>>> from models import engine, db_session, Base, Department, Employee
+>>> Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine)
+
+>>> # Fill the tables with some data
+>>> engineering = Department(name='Engineering')
+>>> db_session.add(engineering)
+>>> hr = Department(name='Human Resources')
+>>> db_session.add(hr)
+
+>>> peter = Employee(name='Peter', department=engineering)
+>>> db_session.add(peter)
+>>> roy = Employee(name='Roy', department=engineering)
+>>> db_session.add(roy)
+>>> tracy = Employee(name='Tracy', department=hr)
+>>> db_session.add(tracy)
+>>> db_session.commit()
+```
+
+
+## Testing our GraphQL schema
+
+We're now ready to test the API we've built. Let's fire up the server from the command line.
+
+```bash
+$ python ./app.py
+
+ * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
+```
+
+Go to [localhost:5000/graphiql](http://localhost:5000/graphiql) and type your first query!
+
+```graphql
+{
+  allEmployees {
+    edges {
+      node {
+        id
+        name
+        department {
+          name
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
