Thanks a lot for the tutorial.
BoundMetaData however is deprecated and should be replaced with MetaData, and you might want to update your tutorial for that.

Thank very much for that, but was wondering if you had any plans to update it for 0.4 version.

Great tutorial, but was wondering if you had any plans to update it for SQLAlchemy 0.4? I would be willing to send my changes needed to make things work with 0.4.

Can you use real number and date in sqlalchemy?

Would you happen to have an example?

Many thanks

Did so, still finding it helpful. I especially like the parts where you explain the “Python way” to do things. You really close a gap between mere SQL users and the original SQLAlchemy tutorial which, IMHO, is often too “implicit”…

However, I think the “explicit vs. implicit” parts in the “Mapping” section are probably a little bit redundant.

But thanks again - it was your tutorial which brought me to SQLAlchemy!

I got on a roll and finished it earlier than I thought. My SQLAlchemy tutorial is now current and the examples should all work with SQLAlchemy 0.2. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I’m currently updating my tutorial to fit SQLAlchemy 0.2. Check back in a couple of days and it should be ready.

Thanks a lot, it worked!

Unfortunately(?), with 0.2 it seems some things have changed again…

Yes; looking at the CHANGES file, the iterator interface was added to ResultProxy objects (which is what stmt.execute() will return) in 0.1.5.

0.1.4 is quite old, and I’m surprised that’s the version easy_install gave you. (Unless you ran it quite some time ago). Try “sudo easy_install -U SQLAlchemy” to upgrade to the latest release (0.1.7 right now), and the tutorial should work for you with no further changes.
