        That's how I like my pointy hairs. All hot air, no substance.

        I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

          Earlier this AM, I sent that to the company's CEO - really. Worst case? He'll realize it's me and just shake his head. (I hope)

            So I looked up ORM in Wikipedia. The following caught my eye:

            Quote:

            Comparison with traditional data access techniques Compared to traditional techniques of exchange between an object-oriented language and a relational database, ORM often reduces the amount of code that needs to be written.[2] Disadvantages of ORM tools generally stem from the high level of abstraction obscuring what is actually happening in the implementation code. Also, heavy reliance on ORM software has been cited as a major factor in producing poorly designed databases.[3]

            My nature, such as it is, would push me towards the roll-my-own methodology.

                When I worked at Bell South they had a policy prohibiting the posting of Dilbert cartoons on the cubicle walls. Anything else was fine, just not Dilbert. I think that pretty much tells the whole story.
