That works. Good plan. But it's getting away from the ORM principle isn't it? I don't mind that personally... I think that ORMs are over-rated (hence my "I hate frameworks") but they sure do help with things like form validation and such (because the necessary authoritative meta data is in python rather than SQL). -- Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
