Hi!

I'm new to this list, and let me apologize for starting a new thread 
with this reply (couldn't see another way to send you a public answer).

Anyway, the way I see it you are as of now pretty free to use any kind 
of database abstraction method for Solar you'd like, including ORM's. 
Personally, I prefer DB_DataObject (a PEAR-lib) for its versatility, and 
DB_DataObject_FormBuilder for the scaffolding. Check it out: 
http://pear.php.net/packages.php?catpid=7&catname=Database

Both of these should work just great with Solar. It's not fully 
automated, but at least you'll understand 100% what's going on :)
