Yes, that's right.  So it is better to move in that direction instead of
trying to convert one particular form of SQL to another parallel alternative
form of SQL (and then have to maintain them both... and still not have the
OO/DBIx functionality).

Chris' work is encouraging.  ORM classes are definitely a different way of
thinking about data though.  The mapping is its own little ecosystem, and
will require the structure to be maintained and updated (much like
kohastructure.sql and updatedatabase).  One great thing though, is that it
combines with caching very naturally (caching an object, not just a DB
row).
