Yeah sure, whatever. I'm sure a good programmer could use sql directly and produce a tighter, faster, better-performing application than an ORM-solution, same as you could use C to produce a tighter, faster, better-performing application than a pure Python one. No thanks, you can write your databases in database assembly language if you want, I'll stick to my ORM, tyvm. Isn't WordPress written in PHP? Are ORMs even possible in PHP? I can almost rationalize use of direct sql if the alternative is some hellspawn PHP ORM. Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
