Gears has this lovely local SQL database. But how do we get things in and out of it? We could write to the JDBC-like Gears SQL API. But I have tasted Hibernate. And if I'm programming in GWT, then writing JDBC-like code by hand would be like going back to the pre-Hibernate days. And I can't do it. I CAN'T DO IT, I TELL YOU! I can't go back. I WON'T go back!
