You can only be surprised, if you didn't read the SQLObject documentation carefully ;-) >From http://sqlobject.org/SQLObject.html#selecting-multiple-objects : "Select results are generators, which are lazily evaluated. So the SQL is only executed when you iterate over the select results, or if you use list() to force the result to be executed."
