31 Welcome to The Object Relational Membrane (v.2)
32 ===============================================
33
34 I{For a general introduction please refer to the U{README<http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/orm2/README?root=orm>} file in the
35 distribution root folder!}
36
37 To get started with orm you might want to look at the
38 L{orm2.datatypes} module first to find out what datatypes are there
39 to populate your dbclasses with. Knowing a little SQL this should be
40 pretty much self-explaining. Next, check out the
41 L{orm2.relationships} module to see how you can interrelate your
42 classes. The L{orm2.dbobject.dbobject} class has a couple of
43 interesting properties, though you might not want to fiddle with most
44 of it at the beginning. The L{orm2.adapters} module contains code for
45 interfacing with the RDBMS, though the L{orm2.datasource.datasource}
46 may likely be everything you need.
47
48 To further study the intricacies of orm you might want to have a look
49 at the L{orm2.sql} module, which handles SQL code generation and is
50 going to be very helpful in writing advanced code. Consider using and/or
51 interfacing with L{orm2.debug} to help you track down my and your
52 errors. L{orm2.util} contains miscellaneous classes and functions
53 that might come in handy.
54
55 The L{orm2.ui} module is practically not there, yet, but you might be
56 interested anyway.
57
58 Any ideas, suggestion or criticism is always welcome!
