[SQLObject] Passthrough pure SQL?

[Edmund L. <el...@in...>]

Is there anyway to pass pure SQL through to the database? I was thinking 
that if performance is an issue, then under some circumstances, it would 
be nice to be able to override selected object methods and use pure SQL 
to do things, I think.

The specific example I'm thinking of is a situation where a table needs 
to have N rows inserted into it, and the data are from other tables. 
Right now, I'd have to write a loop to do this, emitting at least N 
queries. If I could pass SQL through, I could replace the loop with just 
one SQL statement.

Is this a good idea?
