# Overview
|
||||
`co3` is a lightweight Python ORM for hierarchical storage management. It implements a
|
||||
general type system for defining database components like relations, schemas, engines,
|
||||
etc. Objects inheriting from the `CO3` base class can then define data transformations
|
||||
that connect to database components, and can be automatically collected for coordinated
|
||||
database insertion.

`co3` attempts to provide a general interface for interacting with storage media (e.g.,

databases, pickled objects, VSS framework, in-memory key-value stores, etc). The following

top-level classes capture the bulk of the operational model:

media (e.g., databases, pickled objects, VSS framework, in-memory key-value

|
||||
operational model:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Database**: reference to a storage medium, with an `Accessor` for accessing data,
|
||||
`Manager` for managing database state, and an `Engine` for managing connections and
|
||||
external operations.
|
||||
- **Accessor**: provides access to stored items in a `Database`, typically via a supported
|
||||
`select` operation over known `Component` types
|
||||
- **Manager**: manages database storage state (e.g., supported inserts or database sync
|
||||
operations)
|
||||
- **Mapper**: associates `CO3` types with `Schema` components, and provides automatic
|
||||
collection and composition operations for supported items
|
||||
- **Collector**: collects data from defined `CO3` type transformations and prepares for
|
||||
`Database` insert operations
|
||||
- **Component**: atomic storage groups for databases (i.e., generalized notion of a
|
||||
"relation" in relational algebra).

|

- **Indexer**: automatic caching of supported access queries to a `Database`
|
||||
- **Schema**: general schema analog for grouping related `Component` sets
|
||||
- **Differ**: facilitates set operations on results from selectable resources (e.g.,
|
||||
automatic comparison between file data on disk and file rows in a SQL database)
|
||||
- **Syncer**: generalized syncing procedure for items between data resources (e.g.,
|
||||
syncing new, modified, and deleted files from disk to a SQL database that stores file
|
||||
metadata).
|
||||
|
||||
The **CO3** an abstract base class then makes it easy to integrate this model with regular
|
||||
Python object hierarchies that can be mapped to a storage schema.
