Eugh, sorry. This anchor link doesn't work.
Go to http://www.packtpub.com/professional-plone-4-development/book,
then 'Table of Contents' tab, then the link to 'Chapter 12: Relational
Databases' for an overview of that chapter's contents.

Hi,

a bit lost.
I've performed "easy_install SQLAlchemy" on my Debian box but it has

Python 2.7
installation (obvious I suppose).
It installed an egg in the 2.6 directory but not sure where to go from
here...I'm guessing that the 2.6egg might not work 100% with python 2.7.
Installed
*/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.7.8-py2.6.egg*
I'm hoping to be able to connect to various databases from Plone but not
really sure where to start. SQLAlchemy seemed a good bet but it's tough
working out what to do...
Searching on "download and extend" on plone.org for "databasey" entries
doesn't mention SQLAlchemy at all. (not for 4.x anyway)
So, the question is/are:
1. How do I install SQLAlchemy so that it is visible by Plone 4.2?
2. Er...
3. That's it.
All help gratefully recieved.

SQLAlchemy *is* a good bet!
Get yourself a copy of the Professional Plone 4 Development book. It has
a chapter guiding you through setting up connections to SQL databases
via SQLAlchemy (you need the z3c.saconfig package), creating mappings
between Python classes and your relational tables, and creating forms in
Plone for manipulating records in the database. Highly recommended.
