Tango DeRailed,DeActive Nomen est Omen ?

[Bjoern]

Hi,
just a few ideas about DDBI, DeRailed ...
So, the Sendero folks gave up the idea of ORM, CORBA etc. instead :
back to the roots: named DDBI. A good chance to reactivate DDBI but
unfortunately the DDBI rowset discussion is  at a stand still so I'd 
like to add a few sugesstions.

Let us use Java like DAO and a D-ish RowSet instead of Active Record.
-----
DAO is IMO a very good choice in case that you want to have a db 
agnostic library.
The required pattern are very well known. (factory, etc.)

Implementing RowSet is difficult using traditional compiled languages 
like D, so I suggest to implement LISP like lists in D.
These Lists are able to contain any kind of data including other lists. 
('cause we just deal with void*)

Opinions ?

(Corba is indeed a bad choice in case that you have to deal with massive 
service requests)
