The reference to wikipedia was done by Derek, not me. I was just reacting to this reference to falsify his claim that I am re-inventing my own definitions.
You will see in my comment to him where it defines an ORM to be an object-graph. I iterpreted the Wikipedia DAL definition, of scalar-vs-non scalar, to mean an absent of an object-graph, since a reference of an object-attribute to a sequence, is a non-scalar reference - and an object-graph may contain such references, in a way a DAL api can-not, according to the scalarity-definition of the DAL. And again, all of this is in the context of my reaction to Derek's claim that the wikipedia-definitions say otherwize. As to LazySets, no-where in the documentation is that term mentioned. As for Recursive-selects, we've been through this already - twice actually - it is an explicit 'select' statement that generates a query - it is not a reference to a sequence object that exists in memory. Also, it can't be used for complex relational-graphs, only for single-foreign-key relations. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
