        Dabo has its own data handling classes that abstract out a lot of the 
details of working with a database, but it's not an ORM. The fundamental 
difference is this: ORMs make an object for every record, whereas Dabo deals 
with record sets: an object to handle a set of records. 

        If you want to create browser-based web applications using Django or 
Pylons, SQLAlchemy is the way to go. But if you are creating Dabo applications, 
it won't work.
