That's taking the opposite approach to me (ORM is my baby). Storm seems
to be an object-first model, whereas ORM is a database-first model; I
want to be able to just point it at a database connection and have it
generate all the classes and methods for me. (Neither is superior to the
other; they're different problem-spaces that both happen to involve
coupling objects and databases.)

I don't claim that my code works yet. Need to get a build of 8.6 with DB
drivers (which isn't my normal deployment) before I can test...
