[sqlalchemy] Re: Announcing Elixir!

I'm new to SQLAlchemy, but after defining my model for my first project I thought that it was unnecessarily complex (I don't mean that it was hard, just that were was a lot of work to define models for simple objects). I seemed like a potential maintenance problem to have an attribute defined on an object, again in a table definition. Not only that, but you've provided a way to easily define many-to-many relationships without having to define special tables! Score one for abstraction, and I'm sure it won't get in the way of using SQLAlchemy as is if need be. I, for one, will be using Elixir!

Of course, you'll loose functionnalities you could have using a real Tag object. The problem is how you consider a tag in your model... Thanks! I didn't know about PickleType... the data will be pickled but also should maintain ordering of the list!

I'm not actually interested in reusing the the strings as tags, just on persisting a list of strings; I used tags in that example but it's just a list of strings. Sebastians pickle approach would be the simplest, with the disadvantage (perhaps) being that the data is pickled. With these other approaches I'd still have to maintain ordering of the list, which I suppose wouldn't be that hard to do. Thanks all for your fast and useful responses.
