Note that many other database are supported, the main criteria being the

(AWS) Athena
------------

This currently relies on an unreleased future version of `PyAthenaJDBC <https://github.com/laughingman7743/PyAthenaJDBC>`_. If you're adventurous or simply impatient, you can install directly from git: ::

pip install git+https://github.com/laughingman7743/PyAthenaJDBC@support_sqlalchemy

The connection string for Athena looks like this ::

awsathena+jdbc://{aws_access_key_id}:{aws_secret_access_key}@athena.{region_name}.amazonaws.com/{schema_name}?s3_staging_dir={s3_staging_dir}&...

Where you need to escape/encode at least the s3_staging_dir, i.e., ::

s3://... -> s3%3A//...
