Answer 1

If I'm not wrong you are trying to use SQLAlchemy object as db . But you didn't create the object and hence db is undefined.

wrap your app with SQLAlchemy to create the object and assign the variable db to the instance.

db = SQLAlchemy(app) 

Answer 2

In db.py where you can store the code db = SQLAlchemy() .

Then import it in app.py. Now you can call db.

or just remove APP in db=SQLAlchemy(app)
