Well, this is not the only approach. Another approach is to think you just have objects in you app, and the persistence is just an accident. You store your data in a relational database just because is the best way (is it? ;) in the present, but you just don't care how data is stored. So hidding this problem to the user (rather than making it write the guts of it) is a good thing (TM). It's just a point of view. Anyways, I think SA is a great base to build this kind of abstraction. > The support offered by Mike Bayer is particularly stellar, especially > considering he almost single-handedly created and manages SQLAlchemy on > his own time.

It's a great project, I'm just telling it wasn't good for my particular needs.
