I'm not trying to be an ass, but what are the advantages to using Elixer
over using the declarative syntax such as:
from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.orm import relation, scoped_session, sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
dbe = create_engine(<somedatabaseconnectionstring>)
session = scoped_session(sessionmaker(bind=dbe))
mapper = session.mapper
meta = MetaData(bind=dbe)
Base = declarative_base(mapper=mapper)
class People(Base):
__table__ = Table('people', meta, autoload=True)
def __repr__(self):
return 'user: %s %s' % (self.fname, self.lname)
print 'first get everyone in the database'
people = People.query()
for p in people:
print p
