It's been extremely helpful. Half of me thinks I'm nuts for picking up
Gears a week before the first phase of my project is due, and the other
half is very glad I'm not going to be trying to write a complicated
database-ajaxy app in Django. ( Though I will likely keep using it for
simple CMS projects where a reskinned django admin is sufficient and the
budget is not high enough to roll my own. )

On the other hand, I'm still running scared on this whole SO vs SA
thing. I can hack around the primary key issue easy enough because it's
my own DB so I can pop an auto increment id key on the many to many
table and check for repetition myself if I need to. I'm worried that I
am likely to shoot myself in the foot because of doc problems with SA.
Honest opinions on how much of the physical books content is SO
specific? I would assume the docs in the book are much better tested.
( That's what we have editors for, yay editors! )

How hard is migrating projects from SO to SA anyway? I assume if I use
assign_mapper or turbo entity I can make it such that only the model
code needs to be changed?

Thanks again
Iain
