Just adding my few requirements: - Integration into the component architecture in such a way that I can specify the db connection parameters in ZCML and that database reflection still works. I want to be able to get a handle on SQLAlchemy things by calling getUtility.

Please *NO* database specific configurations within ZCML. We're running applications in up three or four different environments and I don't want to maintain instance specific configurations within ZCML. Either we pass such informations through environment variables or the database connections parameters are read from a configuration within the instance configuration.

i still don't see the harm having zcml db conf in a base package, if you don't have to use it to setup your particular deployment's connections. -kapil
