CodeFutures has just released a new version of FireStorm/DAO which can  
now generate Ruby source code implementing the Data Access Object  
(DAO) design pattern. The generated code relies on the mysql-ruby  
module to access the database.

FireStorm/DAO also supports code generation for Java and is a free  
product (limited to generating code for 20 tables from a schema but a  
commercial version is available that removes the restriction).

For example generated code, see this page:  
[http://www.codefutures.com/mysql-ruby/](http://www.codefutures.com/mysql-ruby/)

To download the free version of the product, see this page:

Sorry, but i did read your page and couldn’t find any information of  
why one would use this over a normal ORM (AR, Sequel, DM, …). There  
seem to be no benefits (i would count code generation even as a  
liability), and it is tied to mysql.  
Is there more to come?

Yeah, I too would like to get an answer for that.
