title: SQLAlchemy, how does it connect to an existing MYSQL database created in mysql workbench?
body: <p>I am trying to create simple GUI python applications for populating an existing MYSQL database. Should I use sqlalchemy to connect to the server?  I'm just wondering how Alchemy can connect to the existing DB which was created using MYSQL workbench?
  Usually I create the database and tables using sqlalchemy that's why I can query and edit it.  But for this case,  the DB is already created.  I guess the question would be how do I create the SQLAlchemy code of the existing DB? 
  Sorry for the lack of better words to explain my problem. I'm not that familiar with Database. </p>
