Randall Smith has been working on a schema inspection API which I believe seeks to reflect a wider variety of constructs such as indexes. His progress can be seen here: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/browser/sqlalchemy/branches/reflection He was pretty active as of three weeks ago but hasn't been around lately, I can give you his email address if you want to contact him to collaborate further. Search this mailing list for a discussion about the API. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
