Gustav,

Here is Ted Neward's a very strong statement on the subject
"Object-relational technologies are the Vietnam of the Computer Science
industry":

Obviously some people do have success with O-R layers; similarly, some
governments have had success with fighting against insurgents and wars of
independence. But far more often than not, it requires an investment of
time, capital and energy that just doesn't pay out in the long run. Wars of
insurgency are notoriously difficult things to finally put to rest, and
object-relational technologies are similarly difficult. Preserving the
"Objects and only Objects" Theory in your development methodologies is about
as difficult as preserving the Domino Theory was in 1960.

So, I think I'd better stay away/be very careful with software like
dOOdads - I'd use such software very limted way just to automate the things,
which I anyway plan to develop manually but I'd not rely on them as the key
development tools - the IT industry experience shows this very probably be a
"dead end" race (and my own experience shows the same - I worked with a wise
guy who developed advanced O-R mapping tool, yes, he made it not bad but at
what cost! - I can't afford such high costs with such low end result Work on
O-R mapping isn't complicated but it needs enormous resources to develop a
valuable "semi-universal" end-result - maybe MS with LINQ will make it at
last - but as you can find many people doubt it)...
