I have gone half way thru the Practical SQL Handbook. I just wanted to make sure I didn't have to finish Joe Celko, and C.J. Date before proceeding. :) I am not a DBA and am not familiar with the gotchas and where SQL bites you. So I was kindof feeling out Django and its learning curve with regard to SQL and RDBMS before testing it out further. Right now I am exploring my options. Django looks good. Very impressive. I have no doubts as to its capabilities. I am not yet sure if it is the best match for me. ie: the best tool to enable me. Primarily I am a Smalltalk guy. (Squeak) Thanks for your help and the information.
