open-in-new
<p>SQLObject is a <a href="/facts/Python_/YbuGqofa">Python</a> <a href="/facts/Object-relational_mapping/sjIPEIfq">object-relational mapper</a> between a <a href="/facts/SQL/UjQLJcYm">SQL</a> <a href="/facts/Database/VYcpkevb">database</a> and Python objects. It is experiencing community popularity, and forms a part of many applications (e.g., <a href="/facts/TurboGears/6qyQBskU">TurboGears</a>). It is very similar to <a href="/facts/Ruby_on_Rails/aG5P6uon">Ruby on Rails</a>' <a href="/facts/ActiveRecord_(Rails)/pwFVYuBb">ActiveRecord</a> in operation in that it uses class definitions to form table schemas, and utilizes the language's reflection and dynamism to be useful. </p><p>SQLObject supports a number of common database backends: included in the distribution are <a href="/facts/MariaDB/QWobVFIq">MariaDB</a>, <a href="/facts/MySQL/QEEDNBDP">MySQL</a>, <a href="/facts/PostgreSQL/LHdXuHfl">PostgreSQL</a>, <a href="/facts/SQLite/1PwYzIft">SQLite</a>, <a href="/facts/Sybase_SQL_Server/eocfB6I6">Sybase SQL Server</a>, <a href="/facts/MaxDB/T6nWEM1q">MaxDB</a>, <a href="/facts/Microsoft_SQL_Server/eCdt2JBL">Microsoft SQL Server</a> and <a href="/facts/Firebird_(database_server)/hKVdDnBR">Firebird</a>. </p><p>The first version of SQLObject was publicly released in October 2002. </p>
