Axon ORM is part of the Fat-Free Framework - it features an on-the-fly mapper. No code generators. No stupid XML/YAML configuration files. It reads the database schema directly from the backend, so in most CRUD operations you don't even have to extend a base model. It works with all major PDO-supported database engines: MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server/Sybase, Oracle, PostgreSQL, etc.
/* SQL */
CREATE TABLE products (
product_id INTEGER,
description VARCHAR(128),
PRIMARY KEY (product_id)
);
/* PHP */
// Create
$product=new Axon('products'); // Automatically reads the above schema
$product->product_id=123;
$product->description='Sofa bed';
$product->save(); // ORM knows it's a new record
// Retrieve
$product->load('product_id=123');
echo $product->description;
// Update
$product->description='A better sofa bed';
$product->save(); // ORM knows it's an existing record
// Delete
$product->erase();
Most of all, the plug-in and accompanying SQL data access layer are just as lightweight as the framework: 14 KB (Axon) + 6 KB (SQLdb). Fat-Free is just 55 KB.
