Why not take the SQLAlchemy approach with its lower-level expression language? You can indeed do that. I prefer SQL to ORM; de gustibus non est disputandum.

Why not take the SQLAlchemy approach with its lower-level expression language? You can indeed do that. I prefer SQL to ORM; de gustibus non est disputandum. I love perl, but why strings? Even structured data, such as a nested data structure serialized to JSON, is a string until you parse it. I don't understand the question.
