That's great! I'm currently evaluating Og, the OR mapper, for my 
project, and have to say, it's the most elegant solution to the problem 
I have seen till today (coming a long way from Hibernate, Toplink, 
ActiveRecord and a few others).

I just finished work on a 'mock backend' for Og, so that we can  unit 
test busines logic without database connection. If George accepts the 
code, it should be in the upcoming release.


Best regards,
