What popular misunderstanding would that be?
I have no problem with any of the terminology from S/A. It all seems
unambiguous, and makes sense.
Of course, I also studied database theory, relational algebra, and
relational calculus at university.

This is the last opportunity
for terminology changes for a while, so I offer this up for discussion.
Does anyone else think orm.relation is wrong? Perhaps
relationship if you must have a noun, or relates_to, etc, but

I think targeting those
So here's what I was thinking:

Catalog is vague, MetaData is a well known word and we can just

idea of what is used often, some in a frightening repeatable
pattern:
from sqlalchemy import *
db = create_engine('url')
meta = MetaData(db)
