You can provide your own session (configured as you wish) to Elixir. Only the default provided session (it's there for your convenience only but you can perfectly not use it) use Session.mapper (and hence the save_on_init thing). > elixir shouldn't be dependent on Session.mapper, if it is, I would > advise the elixir folks change that requirement ASAP. in my view, at > this point elixir should be for mapper configuration only; after that > it should hand off to straight SQLAlchemy for normal runtime operation > with any kind of Session configuration; else its just getting in the > way. As I said above, it is not anymore (it used to be dependent on assign_mapper), but I changed it to support any kind of session (in version 0.3 I think). The only thing, is that we still provide a default session, which is based on Session.mapper, for convenience and backward compatibility. Maybe we should state more prominently in the Elixir doc that this is only a default session and that you can use any session you like. -- Gaëtan de Menten http://openhex.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
