So, is there any chance that relations across multiple _logical_ databases on a _single_ physical server will be supported by SQLAlchemy in the future?
As I mentioned before, this could work (at least for MSSQL) if we only had a databasename="foo" on Table(). I am not really sure how much work it would be, but it _sounds_ easy. :) Thanks. - Luke On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 3:01 PM, Luke Arno <luke.a...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, Simon.
