Don't forget that many people (and I tentatively agree with them) do not like ORMs at all (let alone homegrown halfway-products), under any circumstance:

ORMs are the Vietnam of Computer Science

It seems kind-of logical to me that programmers like ORMs, and that DBAs dislike them (even while DBAs can be programmers, and programmers may administer databases).

The problem is that when things are simple ORMs are nice but not necessary, and when things become complicated too often they cannot do what is needed.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
