SQLAlchemy dependency and associated code require updating.

Title: Dependency Conflict

Summary:

• Conflicts have arisen due to inconsistencies in the versions of SQLAlchemy, SQLAlchemy-Utils, and Python. The initial build incorporates SQLAlchemy version 1.3.11, SQLAlchemy-Utils version 0.36.3, and Python version 3.1.14. Upon updating the dependencies to "sqlalchemy==1.4.50", "sqlalchemy-utils==0.37.8", and Python 3.11.7, the new system encounters compatibility issues.

• When updating dependencies, it's imperative to upgrade SQLAlchemy to version 2, which may necessitate a significant rewrite of the database code for compatibility.
