I have two solutions for this problem.

1) put an if around the whole tail end of SQLObject._init() and do not 
call self._SO_selectInit(selectResults)

2) if around the line:

   selectResults = self._connection._SO_selectOne(self, dbNames)

and fill in the selectResults tuple from within the SQLObject.self (with
getattr(self,dbName)) and still call self._SO_selectInit(selectResults)

Is one solution preferable over the other? Should I set self.dirty = True?

Thanks,
Martin
