Yes, you can be simple with Java, like I mentioned with the Java
SimpleORM tool. But the simplicity:power ratio dynamic languages give
you is really breathtaking. To stick with the ORM theme, here's a quick
example of what PyDO can do:
# duh
>>> import pydo
# set up the 'sw' pydo connection alias; psycopg is the name of the
driver
>>> pydo.initAlias('sw', 'psycopg', "dbname='sw2' user='silentwhistle'")
# have pydo introspect the database and generate classes
>>> d = pydo.autoschema('sw')
# get the class generated for the users table
>>> Users = d['Users']
# grab a random user whose first name is John
>>> john = Users.getSome(fname = 'John')[0]
{'status': 'registered', 'superuser': None, 'title': None, 'fname':
'John', ...}
# manipulate said user
>>> john.email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
>>> john.commit()
