I remember reading about this back in 2000 when I started working on my 
C++ library. At the time I wanted something that looked more like JDBC 
or Perl DBI, if memory serves. However, that's all C++. Back to Ruby. :)

With just a quick glance at the OTL, it appears very much C++-centric 
and not particularly applicable to Ruby. Is there any 
template/genericity functionality in Ruby?
