Hello,I'm wondering if anyone is working on some sort of object-relational mapping tool for LuaSQL? Perhaps something along the lines of NeXT's Enterprise Object's EOAccess framework:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_Objects_Frameworkhttp://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Reference/API/com/ webobjects/eoaccess/package-summary.html
Or Rails's ActiveRecord: http://ar.rubyonrails.org/SQL92 INFORMATION_SCHEMA provides all the necessary information to build a full fledge ORM library without too much fuss. Most relational databases do support this SQL92 standard one way or another*:

Thoughts? Cheers -- PA, Onnay Equitursay http://alt.textdrive.com/* Oracle is in a world by itself... but it would be straightforward enough to provide a set of INFORMATION_SCHEMA compatible views derived from Oracle's own data dictionary and/or DBMS_METADATA.
