Questions:

#1. How are you going to handle the fact that every database out there has a
different set of needs for getting ID's for inserts?
#2. How are you going to handle the fact that every database out there has a
different idea of how SQL should be written?

If any of the answers to the questions above require you to "invent" or
"write" more code to deal with this (and I know they do), then I would say
that Turbine's Peer system is far from being "overkill".

Then in that case you can just write straight JDBC calls. I'm not saying to
use Turbine where it doesn't make sense to.
