Documentation Notes On "Building an Up to Date Database from Scratch"

My goal was simple enough:

• Extract ~40+ table MySQL schema via SQLAlchemy.inspect (done, but the scipt's as rough as you'd expect) to a vanilla models.py
• Write unit tests against SQLite and Alembic
• Delploy to a production MySQL with another migration to handle things like FULLTEXT indices.

Challenges encountered:

• Using the stamp() operation with the models.py and "head" gave me a headache (heh).
• I really needed to prepare a 0th revision and then use that revision number in stamp().
• Then I could prepare another 1st revision and use bulk_insert().
• But to get bulk_insert() to work, I had to say, in my revision script. . .

from models import SomeTable
. . .
op.bulk_insert(SomeTable.__table__,[{row_dict0},{row_dict1}...])

Summary: I am very grateful for this tool and hope someday to contribute documentation of better quality than this ransom note.
Cheers!

Start by reviewing the described SQLAlchemy.inspect workflow, models.py, and the Alembic stamp(), bulk_insert(), and revision steps. No documentation file or test is named; done would require turning these database-migration notes into a clear, reproducible guide covering SQLite testing and production MySQL deployment.
