+""" SQLAlchemy integration demo
+Use sqlalchemy to connect a in-memory sqlite database
+Defined a table User contains id, name, fullname, password as its columns
+Provider RESTFul service
+GET /users to get all of users in User table
+POST /user to create user
+GET /users/{id} to get user with specific id
+
+Could test it with after running the sanic server:
+curl http://localhost:8000/users
+curl http://localhost:8000/users/1
+curl http://localhost:8000/users/4
+curl http://localhost:8000/user --data '{"name": "ed", "password":"f8s7ccs","fullname":"Ed Jones"}'
