Storm vs. SQLAlchemy

[Lucas Huerta]

Hello Gustavo,

One of the things that makes an ORM like SQLObject handy is the fact that it
can generate the schema in a database agnostic manner. Since Storm doesn't
handle schema management, could I conclude that vendor specific ddl must be
handled manually?

Furthermore, I noticed an example in the Storm tutorial which appeared to
use raw SQL:

 >>> ruy.name = SQL("(SELECT name || ' Ritcher' FROM person WHERE id=4)")

Is it possible with Storm, to generate SQL queries programatically, and in a
database agnostic
manner?

Regards,

Lucas



- Storm doesn't need the schema to be declared on the Python side.
  That's a side-effect of the fact that in Canonical we like to
  do schema management with SQL.

- Because of that and the way that Storm is put together, building
  backends is much simpler.

- It also means that Storm doesn't handle schema management.
