I really hope not...my DB is very large and getting unwieldy.

devs are currently working on replacing our SQL layer with something object oriented. After this is done, we can think about switching over to a new DB schema.

Ok,
Thanks for the news
Seems to be logical in that way...

Making the tool before knowing what you want to build may not sound that logical
But at least it's a step forward.

Yes I've seen it already
The main issues actually are tied to the fact that many things are done at Kodi level, and that many things are get via new queries and not on the first one. (Not speaking about the schema of course)
If the target is now known, the tool may in the end not fit those needs and while it will be refactored the target will still be unreachable. And many ORM are not smart about 1-n n-n relationship and needs to be carefully chosen
Knowing the target shows the path. Changing a shovel for a bulldozer looks cool, but in some cases the bulldozer can't pass between the houses
Disclaimer I have not actually checked what ODB offers and hope it will be the right tool.
