Hello,
I've loooked CAMELOT and SQLalchemy and I think I'll give a try in the
future but by now i'll tryi to implement sort of my own relational table
model, because sqlalchemy et al. need to be learned and there is no time
for it right now.
I'm so surprised because it looks like is a basic feature (to be able to
set custom queries to the relational table model) but I'm sure there are
good reasons for this.
Anyway, thank you very much for your ANSWERS (not responses, sorry...)
