If you want to use all the power in sqlobject you will need the
"id" , you may get away without having one if you use the build in
raw sql facility exclusively , but then again you probably would
not need sqlobject anyway.

You also might want to take a look at sqlalchemy .
Whichever you choose, if you are used to write complex queries in sql
it will take some time to wrap your mind around any of them.
