Honestly, that's a short-lived win in my opinion -- added pseudonyms for SQLAlchemy's nomenclature doesn't help an Elixir user become more proficient at using SQLAlchemy, much less find documentation on the Elixir components that are, in fact, SQLAlchemy components. I understand the want you're expressing, but I have to keep reminding myself that Elixir claims only to be a relatively thin wrapper around SQLAlchemy. I've always taken that to mean that to understand what I'm doing with Elixir, I'll very quickly need to get into SQLAlchemy. So, I guess if we're weighing in, I'd wish that SQLAlchemy would use a different term than 'session', but taking that as a given, I'd rather have Elixir use whatever nomenclature SQLAlchemy is, whenever it can. -ted --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SQLElixir" group.
