I don't think SQL is evil, but there are lots of reasons why mixing programming languages (and abstraction levels) to solve a problem isn't really ideal. >From a very personal point of view I'd like to see archaic languages like SQL go away for ever one day, in the meantime I completely agree that if the ORM doesn't do what's needed then the right choice is to go with whatever tools will :-) thanks George -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
