Modifying the database schema (adding a new field) requires usually changes in tons of SQL methods..updating your ORM schema definition usually takes only one or a few lines of code. Or why the hell do you want to write complicated SQL code (I remember legacy code of a co-worker to tons of complex JOINs) yourself while you could implement the same functionality in much nicer way using Python? If you ask me: writing SQL is for masochists. - -aj -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQGUBAEBAgAGBQJMdOvsAAoJEADcfz7u4AZjqyALwNWRbc5Pz3keM2x1wkDQfwfU WdtHLdNvLO6jIRMadMjlO4lOgPU0/ANIlkrUFgmstiEkpEt4zj8IIBWYZfdkrryo 6Cb5OeYN+/stFURDSdqGPViJYxybbPFd2pmcX5HW9W9msxIsZsC7mmjLWgUWQEY4 XXZBLbSTWB3DQt1gOXXNrntPzuSopad6QUb/Pqb/JWF7dtE3WYFY2/ar0YWOd/iU I7K3rKSTnQaBiDBwFrdrm/hHgeA34zlCs4M0qb8tWKCLsafwYNojAxdF28ScLSBD pHbxmcQY3aRqkHFPC1DZLqJNmMqbDitIpeUqgx6oLIc73trk2znRmT/HHFP+UhWU K72Qs6fBfEu1dvJYCA2iKFk2aE83ckqbdQnpwYtL0S3pVY3V5s1Z1ZQ4T1rz4+19 BnuClXsZEWxfn8nn3uNZ0kpv9RI3Tw2qRgd4L5vk1s/mCFCRUi1riCKkEb/U8ygI kiJw/Zv6hJrgY74ZA67sfaymJ6hrSfE= =JGcb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
