In our api, I ended up rewriting most of the db access to not use it but it's not as performant as it could be due to needing a custom serializer and naming requirements in place. Also the code is now half orm, half sql. The other app, I couldn't do even that. It's just too ingrained into the app sadly. At some point some of it will have to be rewritten, especially the api and I plan to use clojure where this issue won't exist.
