Essential SQLAlchemy unfortunately is out of date in most areas and certainly with regards to dialect creation (as a note to anyone reading this, we are interested in authors for a new SQLAlchemy book, already signed to a major publisher, if anyone has 8 months of time to spare) .
someone had a good intro to how to write a dialect at SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1674841/how-do-i-write-an-external-dialect-for-sqlalchemy Also some README's that are in the dist include: README.unittests lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/type_migration_guidelines.txt and of course the ASCII art at: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/dbengine.html A good, simple dialect to start with as a guide is the SQLite/pysqlite dialects in lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/sqlite. The Firebird dialect is quite simple too, and Postgresql is fairly digestible as well. The MySQL and MS-SQL dialects are a little crazy in some regards.
