Subject: No Rails, shared host - what would you use for DB and Sessions?

I am starting a new type of community site app. Humble beginnings: No
Rails, Shared host.

This app is directed for building small community sites without rails, on
a generic shared host with the usual (My)SQL database. And of course ruby
1.8-1.9 would be installed.

What would you recommend for "abstracting away" the MySQL layer? Is
Ruby/MySQL my lib, or is there something more.. abstract?

And what does one use for Session management? I cannot find anything to
solve this one.

Everywhere I turn its just 'rails, rails, rails'. Sorry, this one is for
people who cannot run rails. :)

Thanks,

TW
