thanks,

well, since don't know "generic database library" friend wrote - can't comment it

there 2 major schools of thoughts when comes business logic.

there favor domain driven desing (see http://domaindrivendesign.org/book/) , favor data centric approach .

datasets fit second approach better (though there can useful in reporting scenarios when using ddd), ddd 1 use object relational mapper (such nhibernate, npersist, wilson o/r etc. )
