So something that actually had me hung up for a long time was how to
do something like this:
"select * from Someplace where something like '%word%' "

The Django docs show how to do this clearly with the keyword CONTAINS
and shows the SQL equivalent.

The SO docs are not nearly as helpful.  Somewhere towards the bottom
of the SQLBuilder page there is a mention of .startswith()
and .endswith(), and even a LIKE function (with no example of how to
use it).  But there is no mention of .contains(), which I tried just
for kicks and it worked.

Also, something that I think I've seen you mention on this list
is .filter().  That is no where in those 3 SQLObject pages that you
give.

Django's docs give the keyword, an example of usage, and the sql
equivalent for all they keywords in their ORM.  It is easy to read and
all in one place.  I'm suggesting that someone who knows SO do the
same thing for Turbogears users.  I'd do it myself, but I am
(obviously) just learning and not really in any position to teach
anyone anything (except maybe now about %like% searches)
