Hi, This is an interesting project! I am currently implementing an ORM tool based on this white paper from Mr. Scott W. Ambler (from IBM): http://www.ambysoft.com/essays/persistenceLayer.html
I think that a compiled C ORM tool doesn't have too much advantage over a PHP code based. The performance impact can be so slow that can disapoint you. But... a bundled ORM tool for PHP would be really interesting! If you are really interested, I can share my current implementation and create a Google Code Project. AFAIK, the best ORM tool for PHP is Doctrine: http://www.phpdoctrine.net/trac I am currently on a travel and you'll probably notice a delay in my messages.

This Why would it be that different in C - you'd still have to define the same classes and same objects and play by the engine rules? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
