The original link states the following: The web2py database Abstraction layer can read most Django models and SQLAlchemy models...This is experimental and needs more testing. This is not recommended nor suggested but it was developed as a convenience tool to port your existing python apps to web2py. It was not intended as a comparison between the DAL and SQA nor as a comprehensive representation or implementation of SQA's features, just as a convenience for using existing SQA model code if you happen to have some. And the link you included above starts with the following: We translated all the examples from the SQLAlchmey tutorial<http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/ormtutorial.html>...This is not a feature comparison but more of a legend for new web2py users with SQLAlchemy experience... It is literally just showing how to do what is shown in the SQA tutorial using the web2py DAL. I don't see how either of these posts can be construed as ill-informed or disingenuous -- they are quite clear about their scope and intention.
