@J12t It's funny, on one hand I have to agree, all small projects I tried to solve using SQL until now ended up being a time black hole... yet just now I decided to harvest some info from a large Gmail inbox (+500k emails) and to make our persistent I went with Sqlalchemy, and while I could not have done it as quickly without my pior SQL experience it ended up being pretty fast (incl. learning Sqlalchemy) and I didn't event wite a single ddl or dml statement!
