Using a db abstraction may be the right way to write "database agnostic code". I have quite a good impression of SQLAlchemy, for example: it is quite generic, and it is still possible to write direct SQL for those few queries where I know that I can create better queries than SQLAlchemy would. YMMV, of course. When performance is an issue, optimized code for a certain DB backend will probably beat abstractions like this every time. But if you're just writing a small-ish application, the option to support other db with minimal effort is quite nice. cheers -- vbi -- Today is Sweetmorn, the 25th day of Confusion in the YOLD 3176
