We have a very chaotic database (on MySql) at the moment, with for example table names used as keys to query other tables (but that's just an example).
We are going to redesign it but first I still have to replace the perl+vbscript system with only one Python program, so I still have to deal with the current state. I'm trying to use SQLalchemy and it looks absolutely great, but in general as a policy we don't use external dependencies.. To try to do an exception in this case: - are there any problems with SQLalchemy on Windows? - are there any possibly drawbacks of using SQLalchemy instead of the MySqlDB interface? For the second point I guess that we might have a bit less fine tuning, but the amount of data is not so much and speed is also not a bit issue (also because all the queries are extremely inefficient now). Any other possible issue? Thanks, Andrea -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
