Thanks James, a nice "generic" summary.

For my part I would summarise as follows:

I have no objection whatsoever for a higher layer ORM to "fill in the gaps" 
and provide functionality where it is missing at the database level.

To completely override the data integrity rules of a database entirely capable 
of looking after itself is utterly unforgivable.

As for Django, I think some small parts of the ORM need to be re-examined to 
leave some of the data integrity and modification to the database engine 
itself if it is deemed capable.

Oh, and put a warning in the docs about these multi table/multi row operations 
not being wrapped in a transaction unless you enable transactions yourself.

Regards,
Gary.
