what a DB vendor would have to do with ORM? the DB-related layer ('engine' in SA), yes, but orm? i'm not familiar with how thick django's layers are, maybe just try to compare the complexities. If SA notion of DB-engine is less complex/entangled that django's then u have a 'plus' - it would be cheaper/easier for them to do it. But then, it would be a manager's decision so try to think as (marketing)manager. Which means: answer yourself the question 'where the money is'. in both directions 'come' and 'gone'. thumb's up svilen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
