SQLObject 0.7.6, 0.8.3 and 0.9.0b2 releases
SQLObject is an object-relational mapper for python. Your database tables are described as classes, and rows are instances of those classes. SQLObject is meant to be easy to use and quick to get started with.
SQLObject supports a number of backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Firebird. It also has newly added support for Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB).
What’s New
- Fixed a longstanding bug with .select() ignoring ‘limit’ parameter.
- Fixed a bug with absent comma in JOINs.
- Fixed sqlbuilder – .startswith(), .endswith() and .contains() assumed their parameter must be a string; now you can pass an SQLExpression: Table.q.name.contains(func.upper(‘a’)), for example.
- Fixed a longstanding bug in sqlbuilder.Select() with groupBy being a sequence.
- Fixed a bug with Aliases in JOINs.
- Yet another patch to properly initialize MySQL connection encoding.
- Fixed a minor comparison problem in test_decimal.py.
