Hi gang - The documentation for 0.4 is undergoing tremendous changes, and is now released, in its almost-there format, at http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/04/ . The goal with these docs is not just to update to new 0.4 paradigms, but to also raise the bar for accuracy and clarity.
Of major note is that the datamapping and sql construction sections, as well as the old tutorial, have been entirely replaced by two new and very comprehensive tutorials, one targeted at ORM and the other at SQL Expression Language. Both have no prerequisites to start, they each can be the first thing you ever read about SQLAlchemy. Both are also fully executable doctest format, so they are guaranteed not to have my usual array of mistakes. Also here is a rewritten "mapper configuration" document to replace "advanced datamapping". It includes clearer, up-to-date, and more correct examples of virtually every major mapper pattern we have, including all the new stuff like dynamic relations. With recently updated "engine" and "metadata" sections, the only major section left is "sessions", which already includes information about the new "autoflush" and "transactional" sessions, as well as two-phase and SAVEPOINT recipes...I hope to simplify some of the older content here as well as standardize on the new "sessionmaker" function and its cousin, "scoped_session", which replaces SessionContext as well as assignmapper (both are deprecated in 0.4). I hope everyone can check out the docs, come back with feedback/ corrections/questions, and start getting ready for 0.4 ! - mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
