Thanks alot Michael for your detailed reply. I think most of my confusions were due to some pre-convieved ideas I had regartding ORMs. I wasn't aware of the whole concept of sessions and, probably because of 'backref's, I had the misconception that sqlalchemy would do everything.
Now that I understand a bit more the do's and dont's I am wondering if there's any possibility of having extension points. This way I could implement the cleanup of the references when the user issued an obj.delete(). Do you think this can already be done with the current API? > yah, thats exactly what it does, not like theres an entire section in the > docs on that or anything..... > http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/unitofwork.myt#unitofwork_identity > > ;) I'm sorry for skiping that one :| -- Tiago Cogumbreiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://s1x.homelinux.net/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
