D'oh! And I had just been reading the docs about a commit expiring loaded object instances, which is what the refresh() would have done. So the mere accessing of that User object instance (say, UserObj.name=newNameFromEdit, or temp=UserObj.name) would first trigger a reload of that User from the database, once I've committed my lock-obtaining inserts to the Locks table based on an initial Users query.
By the way, add me to the list of grateful SQLAlchemy users. I've played with Doctrine in PHP a bit, and if nothing else the SQLA documentation is miles better. As a starter it is mainly a magical way of replacing writing a pile of tedious CRUD, and as someone who has hazy memories of things like the original Btrieve, an ORM is almost unsporting... :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
