Subject: [DB-SIG] SQLObject 1.2.1
Message-ID: <20111204172426.GB1538@iskra.aviel.ru>

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce version 1.2.1, the first stable release of branch
1.2 of SQLObject.


What is SQLObject
=================

SQLObject is an object-relational mapper.  Your database tables are described
as classes, and rows are instances of those classes.  SQLObject is meant to be
easy to use and quick to get started with.

SQLObject supports a number of backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite,
Firebird, Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB).

What's New
==========

* A bug was fixed in handling ``modulo`` operator - SQLite implements
  only ``%``, MySQL - only ``MOD()``, PostgreSQL implements both.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

Some of you might have read this in my blog, but for those who haven't,
the DB-API pundits here might enjoy learning about plpydbapi, a DB-API
layer on top of PL/Python, which allows (with some restrictions) running
DB-API using applications inside a PostgreSQL server.
