I have briefly tried to use Webware long time ago, when there was no PostgreSQL support, which I needed, as it turned out. I was a bit put off by the need to specify the model in CSV format. I just coded directly then. As soon as SQLObject showed up, I checked it out because it was invented by Ian Bicking, also Webware developer and so I thought to it would fit into Webware well, too. IMO it does, if you take care to maybe handle some threading issues, but you need to take care of them with databases anyway. So far I have used SQLObject in two Webware projects. One is small: my site is running the Teeny Tiny CMS I wrote which is also in the webware-sandbox. The other is a bigger project, a webshop at http://www.normalmailorder.de It still runs SQLObject 0.5, but does so quite well. For this I also had to overcome some "limitations" as the database is quite big and I wanted to do some tuning like using a fulltext index. This required a bit more thinking and tinkering, like writing custom query methods for the index I'm using. In the end I was glad to be using SQLObject, because it made the common things easy while also keeping some hard things still possible.
