Actually, I'd prefer to keep the data API talking to the db API,
rather than invoking sqlalchemy directly.

If I had the time in the next few days, I'd take a shot at this
myself.  I'm not likely to have much time, though :(

I think this is too much to ask of you, Naveen.  Can we work around
this for the moment?  Perhaps just stub out the range/order stuff so
that it always expects (and gets) the full list of objects in the same
order?
