Well, it seems Nuno jumped ahead 2 weeks to where the thread would
probably wind up ;)

That's pretty much the point. Thanks.

Very much so. O/R mapping has been evolving for over 10 years and
it's only recently that you're starting to see a discipline emerging.

On the other hand, whenever I scratch a team re-inventing the wheel
outside of the database, I find lurking underneath the classic
"developer/DBA conflict", which is usually the fault of management for
not properly defining roles and principles. This leads developers to
use technical means to solve an IT management or interpersonal
problem. Not to fault them of course, given the sorry state of
'management'.

Cheers
