In Dabo you have a single business object that handles a table. Let's
say you had a 'Person' table, and wanted everyone named 'Chris'; let's assume
that there are 42 records with a first name of 'Chris'. With an ORM, you would
get back 42 Person objects: one for every person named 'Chris'. With Dabo, your
Person business object would have a data set containing 42 records.

If SQLAlchemy had existed when we started Dabo, we probably would have
used that as the basis for the data layer, but that came well after Dabo was up
and running. So no, it won't work with Dabo; if you need help understanding how
to access data in Dabo, just ask away.
