# Other SQLAlchemy databases
For context on getting started with ingestion, check out our [metadata ingestion guide](../README.md).
## Setup
To install this plugin, run `pip install 'acryl-datahub[sqlalchemy]'`.
The `sqlalchemy` source is useful if we don't have a pre-built source for your chosen
database system, but there is an [SQLAlchemy dialect](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/dialects/)
defined elsewhere. In order to use this, you must `pip install` the required dialect packages yourself.
## Capabilities
This plugin extracts the following:
- Metadata for databases, schemas, views, and tables
- Column types associated with each table
- Table, row, and column statistics via optional [SQL profiling](./sql_profiles.md)
| Capability | Status | Details |
|-------------------|--------|------------------------------------------|
| Data Containers | ✔️ | |
| Data Domains | ✔️ | [link](../../docs/domains.md) |
## Quickstart recipe
Check out the following recipe to get started with ingestion! See [below](#config-details) for full configuration options.
For general pointers on writing and running a recipe, see our [main recipe guide](../README.md#recipes).
```yml
source:
type: sqlalchemy
config:
# Coordinates
connect_uri: "dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database"
sink:
# sink configs
```
## Config details
Note that a `.` is used to denote nested fields in the YAML recipe.
As a SQL-based service, the Athena integration is also supported by our SQL profiler. See [here](./sql_profiles.md) for more details on configuration.
