I am curious if Events (new feature as of 0.7) could be used to reduce memory footprint in certain situations or is it better achieved with other features such as lazy loading.
For example, consider a complex mapped object (containing at least one related table). Using joinedload_all option, SQLAlchemy conveniently produces complex object from the query but the entire object resides in session for the duration of the processing, which could take a lot of memory. In situations where complex mapped objects can be output as soon as they are retrieved from the database one could begin streaming the output as soon as the containing object gets loaded. The full list of contained objects also need not be kept in memory -- once a contained object gets output it could be removed from the list. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
