I'll think on that.  I hadn't really considered creating an ORM in
the database engine itself, which seems to me to be what you're
describing, but I guess it couldn't be worse than having an ORM on
the other end of the wire.

Is that a hard sell to your application programmers, or do you wear
both hats?
