[SQLObject] SQLObject / Oracle

[John Dell'A. <de...@ml...>]

I just discovered SQLObject and was excited to kick the tires. Unfortunately
I don't use any of the supported databases, so I hacked together an Oracle
connection using cx_Oracle.

I don't fully understand the framework yet but I've managed to get all the
column types working. I also implemented referential integrity constraints
on ForeignKey columns since I want the tables to be safe for use from the
database side as well. I also want to get columnsFromSchema implemented if I
can figure out what's going on from the Postgres implementation.

So far SQLObject looks very cool. The metaclass implementation definitely
gives me the best "feel" of all the ORMs I've looked at -- very Pythonic.

Is any one else workng on an Oracle implementation? Are there any plans to
refactor the hooks for adding new backends?
