we have, in fact, made a tip of the hat to SAT analogy questions ("selecting everything is to all() as selecting just the first row is to: a. scalar() b. first() c. list()[0]").
everyone on this thread go check out http://svn.sqlalchemy.org/sqlalchemy/branches/rel_0_4 and give it a whirl. code to look at: examples: test/orm/query.py all of the old deprecated select etc. methods expressed in terms of the new functionality, at the bottom of: sqlalchemy/orm/query.py the next big 0.4 step is to add the generative functionality to select() + refactor select() to be more malleable. then i think the interface will be nailed down and we can start thinking about moving over to it. theres currently 29 open tickets on the 0.4 milestone, but i think a lot of those are going to get bumped to point releases underneath 0.4 or later. id like to try case-insensitive operations, maybe two-phase commit hooks, and we have some collection enhancements coming in. other than those im pretty antsy to get 0.4 to be standardized because i really want to rip down those 0.3 datamapping docs from the site (i.e. as the default "documentation"), start getting all the tutorials updated, etc. On Jun 12, 11:37 am, "Jonathan Ellis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Cleaning out my inbox... > > FWIW I'm +1 on removing the old-style methods, +1 on .first instead of > .scalar, +1 on adding .one, and +0 on renaming .list to .all. > > Did you make a decision for 0.4 Mike? > > -J --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
