[Building Sakai] Sakai BasicSQLService - Can we add dbUpdate() Methods?

[Aaron Zeckoski]

SpringJDBC handles this very nicely. I would say it is better to just use that.
http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/api/org/springframework/jdbc/core/JdbcTemplate.html#update(java.lang.String)

Personally, I would to see us moving away from maintaining our own
ORM/DB-mapping thing in the longer run (where feasible anyway).
