hello I am currently preparing an article about SQLAlchemy for a german software development magazine (probably to be published in december).
I want to ask some questions so I can explain this better to my readers: 1) there is code like this: mary2 = query.get_by(user_name='Mary') # from the docs would it be possible with python (or would it make sense) to write mary2 = query.get_by_user_name('Mary') this is the way Ruby's Active Record does it. don't get me wrong. I do not say that the Ruby approach is better or worse. I just want to understand why SQLAlchemy works the way it works so can write a very good article about it. 2) another example from the docs: print query.select(User.c.user_id==3) would it be possible to leave out the "c" columns object ? maybe one could hide it inside the User class. example: print query.select(User.user_id==3) again. no criticism. just curios. SQLAlchemy is by far my favourite solution for database programming in Python and I am happy to be able to write an article about it. best regards Markus -- Markus Jais http://www.mjais.de ___________________________________________________________ Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm.
