+Database
+========
+
+A Database is a simple wrapper around SQLAlchemy engines. Most of the time you want to use it to get instances to tables using *get_table* or the short-hand dict syntax::
+
+   # both statements return the same table
+   table = db['population']
+   table = db.get_table('population')
+
+.. autoclass:: dataset.Database
+   :members: get_table, create_table, load_table, query
+   :undoc-members:

+Table
+=====
+
+Using the *Table* class you can easily store and retreive data from database tables.
