Hi Anthony, For a novice in web programming like me is there a simple blog post or some documentation available where I can read how to setup web2py to work with the OrinetDB or neo4j databases? I u'stand that DAL does not support these databases, but is it possible to completely ignore the DAL part of web2py and use the rest to develop my web application. Any information related to this will be highly appreciated and very helpful.
