Hello, I have a few questions I cant solve for myself and need help with,

I want to implement a simple user manager in my app but saw there are no routes to get a List of them. What do i need to implement in order to get a route which returns a List of Users?
I noticed that the working example for SqlAlchemy is a bit different than what is show in FastApi tutorial, can someone point me in what do i need to learn to understand their differences and make my own choice?

Thanks
