Hi all,

I am just beginning with TurboGears and have run into a problem with
SQLObject.

I'm trying to connect to an established mysql DB, and use TurboGears
to display results from the DB only. The problem is that the DB
already has an 'id' field that is a string as opposed to an int.
SQLObject complains because it wants to use the id field for it's own
purposes.

How can I use TurboGears to get data out of this DB?

While I personally prefer SQLObject over SQLAlchemy, the latter has
better legacy-database-support. Maybe a switch would be the better solution.
