A complete ORM for ZF is way too much. It is tried by Benjamin and this process stopped because of some very good reasons [1]. The more or less low-level implementation of Zend\Db to use it as an ORM is just perfect I think. When someone wants a more specific tool, Doctrine is the right way to go. Therefore my suggestion is to keep Zend\Db as it is now (in its functionality) and make proper tools to integrate Doctrine2 into ZF2 really easy. Then a developer can choose which db layer s/he wants. Regards, Jurian [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg25412.html -- Jurian Sluiman Soflomo - http://soflomo.com
