All this has little to nothing to do with TG itself. As I said, TG is a "meta"-framework. All things concerning ORM-mapping are SQLAlchemy (or actually whatever you chose) In a quickstarted project, SQLAlchemy (SA) is used, and it's so-called declarative ORM mappings. We use Elixir, a thin layer around SA that roughly does the same as declarative (it comes from a time when SA hadn't had these). It's a question of taste. The one and only thing were TG gets into play (well, sort of) is when you use one of those tg-admin-thingies. I never cared for them, but I guess using declarative should be ok for them.
