I had some trouble with this, as the new ORM relies very heavily on injector and the configuration framework being loaded. I could do without this, but this would end up with a lot of extra code being re-implemented at a low level. I could still do it this way, but it would probably mean redoing all of the recent work.

It might be best to just go back to direct MySQL, PDO etc api calls instead of bothering with the connector classes.
