Object Relational Mapping (ORM): Welcome to the Gray Zone
This is the first of a series of blog posts about Object Relational Mapping (or ORM). It is an attempt to capture some of the notions in the presentation that I did at the latest Twins Cities Code Camp.
The "Gray Zone" is a reference to approach that rejects the notion that the world is black and white; that only one point of view matters (which not so coincidently is my point of view and if you are not with me, you must be against me) . As you can see I have been watching way too much of the current American political process. In the Gray Zone, all sorts of points of view can coexist. The two points of view that are of interest to us in this series of posts are those of the application developer and of the database administrator. We are going to take these points of view to an extreme to illustrate some points.
I am going to do this in a series of posts. It started out as a single post but got out of hand pretty quickly. The list of topics appears below. As I add the referenced entry in my blog I will update the reference to be a hyperlink.
