What function is used to initialize the engine in SQLAlchemy?

To initialize the engine in SQLAlchemy, the create_engine function from the sqlalchemy module is used.

It creates an Engine object that manages the connection to the database and executes SQL queries.

Example of engine initialization:

from sqlalchemy import create_engine

engine = create_engine('postgresql://user:password@localhost/mydatabase')

The connection string specifies the database type, user, password, host, and database name.
