I wonder why declarative_base() doesn't simply set __tablename__ to the name of the class by default (maybe translating camelcase to lowercase with underscores), similar to how it is done in SQLObject and Elixir. Also, the error message if you forget to set __tablename__ is misleading, it should mention __tablename__ in declarative usage.
Another idea (not sure if it really makes sense): In the order_by clause, negative integers could be used for descending order, i.e. -2 would work like desc(2). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
