You know what? You're right. My description below was wrong. What I should have said is that I created a simple _JavaScript_ database API that can be used to implement business objects in JavaScript.

I believe if used properly this can still provide the correct SOC. What do you think?
That new example does look a lot better!
TBH, your first example set alarms off in my head ;)
I think this looks very useful for rapid prototyping, but it also allows you to work in a bad way .... and unfortunately this way of doing it is so much closer to the way you'd do it in 'other environments' it will be attractive to newcomers, which is both good and bad ;)
On a personal note, it is unfortunate because I think your new techniques will be more attractive to my Client! Even though it may not be the best way to work, they will find it easier to understand, being closer to what they used to do. So even though I might prefer O-R Mapping, I don't think they will.
Anyway, please do not take this as criticism!
