db_row has already been mentioned on this list as a nice module. But wouldn't the associative array aspects of adodb eliminate the need for db_row?
Yep, functionwise it would be pretty much the same. db_row however has the advantage of using a different storage mechanism eliminating the need for a dictionary in each object (using __slots__). If you load a lot of objects that should be an advantage. My idea is to subclass db_row to add some data validation routines. Perhaps we could add some foreignkey functionality also to make it a worthy replacement of RowObject. /Simon
