Depends on what you mean by ORM. Things like Arf! or Reactor start to encroach on that space. Certainly not a conventional ORM solution, but they provide many of the benefits. No idea about scalability, but I suspect Reactor will be quite performant, since it does very little at runtime. I'm not sure about Arf!'s execution profile as I haven't dug into the implementation as far. cheers, barneyb On 11/5/05, Sean Corfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 11/3/05, Peter J.
