Correct me if i'm wrong, but once you access these objects they move
from the database to core memory. Depending on the access pattern for
these objects you might run into problems with python's garbage collector
as well. Even accessing only a few objects at a time but changeing these
few will create excessive creation of objects that need to be collected
soon afterwards.

But you can call stored procedures.
