yah that, or provide your own schema generator object that decorates
the existing one. it would be nice to keep ALTER stuff out of the
core, and also to develop patterns for building external syntax
modules (since there are bazillions of potential syntax modules that
might want to be added on...)
i.e. i like the idea of all the myriad SQL features that are either
specialized, advanced, environment specific, sketchy etc. to be
loadable:
from sqlalchemy import *
import sqlalchemy.ext.savepoint
import sqlalchemy.ext.changeset
import sqlalchemy.ext.trigger
import sqlalchemy.ext.plpython
the core: simple, fast, light ! pluggable !
Amen.
