It is designed to "feel pythonic", without +encouraging the typical ORM behavior such as potato programming. + +Axiom provides a full interface to the database, which strongly suggests that +you do not write any SQL of your own. Metaprogramming is difficult and +dangerous (as many, many SQL injection attacks amply demonstrate). Writing +your own SQL is still possible, however, and Axiom does have several methods +which return fragments of generated schema if you wish to use them in your own +queries. + +WWW: http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodAxiom |
