Great idea. Pylons definitely needs a database administration tool. My main concern is about basing it on the ORM layer rather than accessing tables directly. The application I'm working on now uses SQLAlchemy for its auto-retry connections and SQL builder, but I found the ORM to be unnecessary complexity for it. Could AdminPylon support both ORM and non-ORM interfaces?
Currently we use PHPMyAdmin for the admin front end, for people who don't use it enough to learn the command line or don't have direct access to the server. PHPMyAdmin sucks but it sucks less than any of the alternatives I've found. Also, have you looked at Dabo? It's a framework for wxPython database applications. Unfortunately it predates SQLAlchemy so it uses its own database interface. Nevertheless, if would be good to have more interoperability between the Python database front ends, either for the developers sharing source code or the users who need to use their model and configuration in the other system. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
