Hi- I have just read a lot and gone through some exercises, but am at an early stage here.. Two questions:
1) I have an existing database, and want to use sa to work with it.. so "reflect" seems like what I want. I have loaded up the database successfully - sqlite - not with reflect(), but instead with named tables and autoload=true. Now I am reading about declarative base class.. is a reflect/ autoload approach preemptive of declarative? do I have to make mappers? there are a number of foreign key relationships, declared in the db.. how do I find out more about which ones are being instantiated for me? 2) Session vs connect.. from my limited experience, conn = engine.connect() seems natural and all I need. I am reading this intro material and they are going on at length with Session. Is Session really necessary? so much more desirable? I am really looking for an expedient use of sa, I dont think I will get deeply into this.. pragmatic! thanks in advance -Brian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
