You mean one of the ORM packages like SqlObject or SqlAlchemy? First
off, three years ago SqlAlchemy didn't even exist, and SqlObject was
still pretty weak. The other reason is that in general I don't care
for ORM for large-scale solutions. The objects are sort of a melding
of the business logic and the data access tiers; if you have a
million-record data set, you need a million of these objects, whereas
with our approach, you have a single bizobj and a single cursor with
a list containing a million entries. I never understood why each
record needs to have a copy of the logic governing it.
