    SQLModel will know that something declared as `str` will be a SQL column of type `TEXT` (or `VARCHAR`, depending on the database).

### Create an Engine { #create-an-engine }

A SQLModel `engine` (underneath it's actually a SQLAlchemy `engine`) is what **holds the connections** to the database.

     * This means that trees/sessions/connections won't be idle-disconnected even if there are no other active
     * references (currently executing code, file descriptors).
     *
     * Depending on the usage scenario, this may have some benefit as there won't be any delays for restablishing these
     * resources, however comes at the cost of having to properly release all SmbFile instances you no longer need.

If your **product/company** depends on or is related to **FastAPI** and you want to reach its users, you can sponsor the author (me) through <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/tiangolo" class="external-link" target="_blank">GitHub sponsors</a>. Depending on the tier, you could get some extra benefits, like a badge in the docs. 🎁

   *
   * The initialization time may vary depending on the journal file size and the current actual

Of course, there are some cases where there's no problem in running the previous steps multiple times, in that case, it's a lot easier to handle.

/// tip

Also, keep in mind that depending on your setup, in some cases you **might not even need any previous steps** before starting your application.

In that case, you wouldn't have to worry about any of this. 🤷
