I couldn’t find news of the release on the main page of SQLObject, nor could I find release notes at SQLObject.org (or in the release itself), but I did find news of 0.7.0 which mentions features and bug fixes. I didn’t find a date on this news entry, so I don’t know if this is for 0.7.0 in general, or if it is for a specific build of the 0.7 line. Hopefully, this will be pertinent to rc1.
I’ve used SQLObject now on a couple of small projects and have been pretty impressed with it. I’m not afraid of SQL at all, but it is nice to have a well-built, general-purpose data abstraction layer nicely packaged and ready to use. In the projects in which I’ve used SQLObject, I haven’t had to write a line of SQL - even to create the database schema.
As I mentioned in this blog entry, I really like SQLObject, but I feel like I need to re-re-read the docs. I’m having a small issue creating (what I feel are) the “right” relationships between one object type and two other object types which the first type links to. I’m certain I’m just not doing something right. This experience doesn’t leave me with the feeling that SQLObject is an inferior library. It leaves me with the feeling that I need to spend a little more time with it and make it do what I want it to.
Great library. Good work, Ian.

Hi Jeremy. I'm planning on updating the site and all that before the real 0.7.0 release, I just wanted to get the files out there to help get over my I-can-never-actually-release-anything hump.
There's a lot of helpful people on the sqlobject-discuss list, so it can be a good place to ask design questions.

Thanks, Ian. My little app is working OK for now. I will make sure I'm able to get it working how I think it would be most proper. I think joining the SQLObject mailing list would be a good idea. Thanks!
Database support
I was wondering if Oracle was on the list to add to the supported databases. cx_Oracle is a pretty good extension for connecting to Oracle from Python.
Database support
Someone is working on it, maybe more seriously than past efforts. It still hasn't shown up in the repository, so until it does who knows.
