I was poking around Elixir's Ecto <https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.html>, and I was curious whether it was possible to apply their strict separation between data and operations to SQLAlchemy. One could imagine an API where session.query fetches mutable, data-only versions of models, and models are updated with something like session.update(model), which would be a proxy for update(Model).where(Model.id == model.id). In that scenario, the only stateful element of the session would be the status of the current transaction.
Is this sort of thing possible? Can the declarative API be used without binding model classes to a session? Can session state management be turned off, or could the connection be used directly?
