SQLAlchemy 0.3.6 released. SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL.

This is the first post-Pycon release and includes the new Query object which merges in all of the functionality of SelectResults.

More docs have been added, including some description of the new Query methods. The “generated documentation” has been broken upinto separate pages per module, with navigation added for module-level functions. Docstrings are also much more PEP compliant and are formatted using docutils.

The iBATIS.NET team announced March1, 2007 that the BETA releaseof DataAccess V1.9.1 and DataMapper V1.6.1 [beta status] are now available.

This release includes bug fixes and enhancements.

The iBATIS Data Mapper framework makes it easier to use a database with Java and .NET applications. iBATIS couples objects with stored procedures or SQL statements using a XML descriptor. Simplicity is the biggest advantage of the iBATIS DataMapper over object relational mapping tools.

To use the iBATIS Data Mapper, you rely on your own objects, XML, and SQL. There islittle to learn that you don’t already know. With the iBATIS Data Mapper, you have the full power of both SQL and stored procedures at your fingertips.

And, of course, iBATIS supports Firebird.
