meta: Example code for understanding how to use the StaticPool class from the sqlalchemy.pool module of the SQLAlchemy project.


`StaticPool` is a class within the `sqlalchemy.pool` module of the SQLAlchemy project.

<a href="/sqlalchemy-pool-nullpool-examples.html">NullPool</a>
is another callable from the `sqlalchemy.pool` package with code examples.

## Example 1 from flask-sqlalchemy
[flask-sqlalchemy](https://github.com/pallets/flask-sqlalchemy)
([project documentation](https://flask-sqlalchemy.palletsprojects.com/en/2.x/)
and
[PyPI information](https://pypi.org/project/Flask-SQLAlchemy/)) is a
[Flask](/flask.html) extension that makes it easier to use
[SQLAlchemy](/sqlalchemy.html) when building Flask apps. flask-sqlalchemy
provides helper functions that reduce the amount of common boilerplate
code that you have to frequently write yourself if you did not use this
library when combining Flask with SQLAlchemy.
