Subject: Re: ORM's - Don't Do It!

I think you need ORM but in that order

  Object --> Relational --> Mapping
  (Datamapper could be your friend)

The other way won't do.

  Otherwise, stored procedures.

  I think your DBAs will favour the second one, and I would suggest splitting 
your models in two:

  Business Logic
  Data Access

  You will probably find that SELECTs will be free of charge, but DELETEs and 
UPDATES wont.  My feeling is your application is more of a transactional one, 
so the models might model the transactions themselves, rather than the 
entities.

  Good luck!
