Good conversation, and definitely a direction I find my coding practices going in these days - more pragamtism.

So, when you get all the Acme Corps on OODMS's, then I might > reevaluate :) I don't know if I entirely agree with this, in that if you start modelling first, and then build a DB that will support that model, and ORM / code generator will give you the OO model you want. That being said, if you have a legacy DB, or you start developing DB first, then, yup, you will have to jump through some hoops to get to where you want to go OO wise - or you may not get there at all.
