Hi! at the company I work for I'd like to propose introducing Python to replace the hopelessly outdated SAS scripts. SQLAlchemy seems like a good option for SQL handling and I can imagine modules specifically tailored to our needs. However, the other guys are slightly conservative and might object they are fine using simple SQL and SAS. Actually they are not, because even simple tasks take hours of work. And our project work requires solving many ad hoc tasks which our system isn't really able to handle. Now I'd like to point out advantages of the SQLAlchemy approach, but I only vaguely know them.
Could you pin point the advantages of using (python classes)/(the sqlalchemy system) for database toolboxes? Something simple, maybe with example ideas that I could present? [I know there is a small paragraph in the documentation, but it only says an ORM couldn't be written otherwise. Unfortunately I don't know well enough why to use an ORM. Actually I was thinking about the expression language.] Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
