I am setting up the table definition and ORM mapping in my model and
wondering what it is doing exactly.
Is the table definition there to manually define data-types for SA, so
that it can generate valid SQL with the SQL abstraction syntax? or
does it do more.
I am open to ORM, have used it various ORM concepts all over Java apps
in the past... however there are some cases where I would rather have
a more direct approach.
Would it be wrong for me to execute SQL statement directly at times,
even going so far as to not use SA's abstraction layer..? what would
be the disadvantages of this, other than the fact that Alchemy can not
apply its SQL database implementation changes to it?
Something like:
<code python>
result = engine.execute("SELECT name, hair_color FROM animals WHERE
type='monkey'")
for row in result:
print "username:", row['username']
result.close()
</code>
Thanks.. .just trying to get my head around all this ;)
