Create Tables: Usage

We'll cover the following

Creating langman_orm.py
Creating prepare_orm.py
Content of langman/server directory
Try it yourself

The plan from the chapter, Design A Web Application, describes the needed fields and tables.

Creating `langman_orm.py`

In this chapter, we convert these to code, creating the file called langman_orm.py located in langman/server. We begin with the Usage table, including the import commands and the call to create_all. As before, we carry on the development using SQLite and then switch to PostgreSQL for deployment.
