I always just liked SQL as the database abstraction layer ;)

On a more serious note I think novas new object model might be a way to go but 
in all honesty there won't be a one size fits all solution. I just don't think 
sqlalchemy is that solution personally (maybe if we just use sqlalchemy core it 
will be better and eject just the orm layer).

What is specifically wrong with SQLAlchemy's ORM layer? What would you replace it with? Why would use SQLAlchemy's "core" be better?

I've seen little evidence that SQLAlchemy's ORM layer is the cause for database performance problems. Rather, I've found that the database schemas in use -- and in some cases, the *way* that the SQLAlchemy ORM is called (for example, doing correlated subqueries instead of straight joins) -- are primary causes for database performance issues.

Note, I'm not speaking about database scalability issues but rather pure query performance...

And towards what? A giant object-oriented interface for the database driver?
