Axiom is an object database, or alternatively, an
object-relational mapper.
Its primary goal is to provide an object-oriented layer
with what we consider to be the key aspects of OO, i.e.
polymorphism and message dispatch, without hindering the
power of an RDBMS. It is designed to "feel pythonic", without
encouraging the typical ORM behavior such as potato
programming.
Axiom provides a full interface to the database, which
strongly suggests that you do not write any SQL of your
own. Metaprogramming is difficult and dangerous (as many,
many SQL injection attacks amply demonstrate). Writing your
own SQL is still possible, however, and Axiom does have
several methods which return fragments of generated schema
if you wish to use them in your own queries.
