Don't we have enough Object/Relational mapping layers already?
Colle-SQL is not an Object/Relational mapping, and as I see it, neither is Torque. Object/Relational mappers take existing class hierarchies and map them to an existing relational schema. Colle-SQL takes a relational schema and creates a class hierarchy to facilitate working with the relational schema.
Why not just help out with Torque instead of building such a similar project?
As I said in my original post, Colle is an effort to release some existing code to the open source community. Colle-SQL is the first piece to be released. Other pieces have no direct dependencies on Colle-SQL. More specifically, our middleware and web forms code would work fine with Torque. Our first reaction on learning of Torque was to skip Colle-SQL and move directly to Colle-Mid (the middleware portion). But after a closer inspection of Torque we decided the benefits of Colle-SQL would get lost if we didn't release it first.
