Hey First comment:
>So far we've been able to keep clear of ORMs You make it sound like you've been trying to stay away from ORMs!!! ORM isn't a bad thing you need to stear clear of! Honestly :) Second: I come from an LLBLGEN background and have recently switched to AR/NH - to be honest - they both have their pros and cons but are both a million miles better than writting your own code for the purpose. They will both work with whatever .NET/CLI language you want. AR is about as simple as you'd want it and the only downer about everything being in C# is that if your guys aren't used to C# they may find some of the examples a bit foreign. As a side - what's the workflow like working with flex in a .net environment? I've thought about this doing a few times. hth w:// On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 8:31 PM, novnov <[email protected]> wrote: > > This is really a scattershot question because I have little exposure > to ORMs and only vaguely formulated requirements. > > Some background...I like postgresql a lot and also use sql server and > oracle.
