It's identical.
db(query) returns a Set instance. And calling a Set instance that already has a
query combines the queries with &:
def __call__(self, query):
if self._query:
return Set(self._db, self._query & query)
else:
return Set(self._db, query)
(this is from dal.py; sql.py isn't quite so readable)
As for documentation, I think that all these DAL behaviors ought to be better
documented. Maybe the next rev of the book....
