Why another tool? The more code, the more errors. The basic thing is to put 
one database struktur to annother. Our ancestry therfor developed SQL. Long 
time ago with applications which where more complex in database structure all 
things were done in SQL. This prevents of running out of memory or on 
timeouts by the *.php or whatever you use. And, the great benefit; you will 
get meaningful error messages which are not dumped by the overlying script.
So my recommendation:
Pure SQJ, as few as possible Loops and complex strukture.
Not referencing by attribute order. Ever referencing by attribute.
I know it is a boring idea, but for me it worked the last 20 Jears.

Best regards,

Dirk
