RefX:: ORMs, Relational Data, Mismatch, LinQ and DSLs
Having worked with several Object-Relational mapping frameworks in the last few years, I got to a point where I couldn’t justify their complexity in my project. We often talk about the mismatch between the database and the object worlds, and that is where ORMs are often stated and referenced for “bridging the gap”!
Well I prefer to call it lifting the gap, or highering the gap, to have it now between DAOs and the rest of the code than having it between database and code.But I wouldn’t call this in any way reducing the gap.
