[TurboGears] Re: declarative SQLAlchemy

[Jeff Watkins]

That's terrific! I've been meaning to get involved with SQLAlchemy (specifically with this particular task). I'm glad someone was able to do it. I'm definitely keen to try this out, because I keep banging my head against SQLObjects' severe limitations. I think what impressed me most is that Michael Bayer wants SQLAlchemy to work for everyone not just people who do databases *exactly* like he does. My personal hot button: SQLObject is basically worthless accessing any database that doesn't use integer primary keys. That leaves out GUID primary keys. That leaves out composite keys. That leaves out dependant keys. That leaves out *the majority* of the databases I want to access. Thanks for getting this underway, Jonathan.
