[SQLObject] The Gadfly Backend

[Marek K. <pyt...@we...>]

Gadfly can be used both embedded (like sqlite) and standalone (like
mysql), although I havent tested this before. But I'll only work on the
embedded version.

First I checked out SQLObject revision 104.
I started the work by copying the sqlite package and replacing all
'sqlite' by 'gadfly'. (Gadfly is probably very like SQLite). Then I
added to the main __init__.py. In the file gadflyconnection.py I
modified the code to open a gadfly database. That's where I paused.

I also modified the simpleperson.py for the Gadfly backend:
File: simpleperson.py:

from sqlobject import *
__connection__ = GadflyConnection('gad.fly.db')
class Person(SQLObject):
    _connection = __connection__
    firstName = StringCol()
    middleInitial = StringCol(length=1, default=None)
    lastName = StringCol()

Person.dropTable(ifExists=True)
Person.createTable() 

Trying to run it:
File "C:\sqlobject\sqlobject\main.py", line 943, in dropTable
  if ifExists and not cls._connection.tableExists(cls._table):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'tableExists'

That doesn't wonder. But where in sqlite can I find tableExists?

greets,
