Please help me. Otherwise I will have to use more than one ORM and then
decide whether to use one of the existing ORM or write my own. That
will be a lot of re-invention when so many people would have already
solved this problem. After all Open Source is about sharing not only
the code but also experiences.

PS: I do not mean to sound like demending. I respect you all. I am just
confused about what ORM to to use!!!
