If the doc pages on SO in TG and SO had big fat red messages at the top of them warning about this, then yes, perhaps, but as it stands they don't. Also, an ex-manual SQL developer coming to TG would not probably think about the problems associated with using reserved keywords, as he/she's used to escaping them and would probably (and not unreasonably) assume that his ORM dealt with escaping fields properly anyway.
IMO, if I were using SQL itself I wouldn't have a problem with reserved keywords. However TG strongly recommends MVC with an ORM, and as such, should at least provide some contextual warning about reserved keywords - if not at least on "tg-admin sql create". As has been pointed out - "if kw in dict" is a very efficient operation in Python. In fact python has one of the most efficient hashtable lookup algorithms in the known universe. -Rob Jorge Godoy wrote: > Just because it doesn't fly it can't run? ;-) I don't believe that we have > to make things worse to protect the developer from shooting himself, after > all, as you said, such listings are freely available. > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
