Subway is built on SQLObject, and SQLObject can both create tables and read schemas from an existing database. I don't know what style is preferred at the moment in Subway, but personally I always create my tables with SQLObject because I always end up enumerating all the features of the tables eventually anyway. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
