Object Relational Mapping
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:35 am
I've been running through a few projects recently and became fascinated with getting rid of large tracts of repetitive code. Most of it is from hand-coded objects to handle row data using a Data Access Object to CRUD Transfer Objects (glorified arrays with an API) to and from the database.
The problem is that a) they're hand coded, b) they're fairly simplistic, and c) I hate repetitive coding...
Wondering if people would care to suggest a favourite ORM package, and how they'd contrast those against something with a little more hype...a la ActiveRecord?
