I don't know much about declarative from SQLAlchemy - we use Elixir. However, one tip: TG (one and two) are both composed of components that exist on their own. Such as Pylons, ToscaWigets and - for you the most interesting part - SQLAlchemy. And while it sometimes sucks, it's always a good idea to check out these pieces individual documentation, and possible mailinglists And in the case of SQLAlchemy, that is excellent. Both are. So I suggest you take a look at the SA documentation, and for any questions go to their ML. That is not to say that your question doesn't belong here. It might well be somebody here that is capable and willing to answer it. But chances are higher otherwise.
