for what its worth... I find ORM useful for three things: - inserts of new records - updates of single records - displaying data in templates
i find ORM a hassle on larger items. i'd much rather write SQL myself , that i know is optimized and i have control over. A great middle ground which I've found, is that in many instances an ORM allows you to supply the raw SQL, or you can do manual SQL queries and 'bless' ( to borrow from Perl ) the results into an object. With situations like this, you can get the benefit in the View/templates that the ORM provides, while keeping your model and controller much more sane and optimized. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
