Notability

edit

I think SQLAlchemy does meet the criteria for software notability. It has a non-trivial mention in at least two published books: "Core Python Programming" (2nd ed.) and "Rapid Web Applications with TurboGears". Moreover, it is an important component (or planned to be) of a number of other pieces of software, which are certainly notable, e.g. Mailman, Django, Zope.

I agree. SQLAlchemy is a much talked about topic in the python community. 213.168.108.165 11:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
I agree as well. SQLAlchemy is a rather technical piece of software, but it is notable since it enables python programmers to write CRUD applications in a breeze stealing some of the buzz out of Ruby on Rails ;).--85.18.14.35 20:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Another agreement. The notability may be somewhat narrow -- mostly the world of Python web application development -- but it certainly exists, as evidenced by your references, by the number of projects working with or on SQLAlchemy, and (subjectively) the amount of buzz around it at PyCon this year.

Lead sentence

Is there a more specific word we can use rather than "toolkit"?

Data mapper or Metadata mapper

edit

Hibernate is a Metadata mapper. IBatis is a data mapper. The first is based on mapping classes and attributes to tables and columns, while the framework generates the CRUD operations. The second is based on CRUD operations provided by the user, that encapsulate the mapping. I don't know what one fits for SQL Alchemy... —Preceding unsigned comment added by At2112 (talkcontribs) 13:05, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

edit of python example code

edit

I have been learning sqlalchemy and came across this page. As confused as I was, I started by just trying out the example code given. I actually had to look at other example code to see where things were imported from and had to give three import statements to make it work. Sidious1741 (talk) 17:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ramm book

edit

The article lists the following book as a reference:

  • Mark Ramm, Michael Bayer: SQLAlchemy: Database Access Using Python, Addison-Wesley, 2010, ISBN 9780132364676

According to its publisher, [1], the book is not scheduled for publication until October 2011. How was it used as a reference to this article? TJRC (talk) 20:38, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Movies example

  Done

George Lucas is not the director of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. While this doesn't change the point of the example, there's no reason to leave it with incorrect information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mchesnut (talkcontribs) 19:08, 17 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fixed. TJRC (talk) 19:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
