Thanks,
yeah, just figured I can plainly use the engine from SQLAlchemy to issue direct SQL statements (via engine.execute) without having to change anything in the setup. I know that this will certainly limit me to one DB, but I ain't going to use anything but postgresql anyways and I have full control over the project (i.e. I don't support IE, whoever wants to view the website the way it was designed needs to get firefox or live with occasional strange rendering :-) ) Uwe On Monday 28 May 2007, Dominique Eav wrote: > Uwe C.
