Musing article about ORM vs. ... not ORM

This is a good article about aspects of the philosophy of ORMs.

  • ORM or not, you still need separation between the model and the persistence layer.  Keep all the SQL together or you'll end up with a maintenance nightmare.
  • ORM is a quick out-of-the-box solution for lightweight systems.
  • ORM isn't too great for complex data models or database-specific functionality (PostgreSQL) or if you need performance.
