How to connect to an already existing database in SqlAlchemy?

[Aarushi ign]

I am using Flask-SqlAlchemy. It does allows you to make models but how do map an existing table to a class object so that u can use it later to do other functions like Pagination?

My MySql database is created in different scripts and i need to access those tables and perform pagination.

In SqlAlchemy only SQLSoup provides the ability to map an existing table i guess.

Any help guys please.

You should read the tutorial on the ORM : 

http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/orm/tutorial.html

there is also an API section on mapping :

http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/orm/mapper_config.html#classical-mapping

Set app.config["SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI"] to point to your database. Normally won't create tables unless you call flask.ext.sqlalchemy.SQLAlchemy.creae_all explicitly.
