Just so I'm clear on what is actually going on and can possibly pin point where mine is different and possibly better...or worse
Can we start a disscussion on ORM?
I'd like to hear the positives and negatives and be specific...
I've heard and been told by some on here that ORM is good for trivial CRUD but anyting beyond is often too much for it to handle...
How does a traditional ORM perform CRUD operations...
Assuming I had a hierarchy like:
Code: Select all
CxUser (fname, lname, age)
CxMember (user, pass)Do the CRUD functions cascade? So to insert into both tables using the CxMember object would I need to call just the CxMember INSERT function or would I call both?
How would the above ORM perform a multiple selection?
I have a idea of how I want my own to work and have spent a good deal of time contemplating how an existing ORM might work, but admittedly I have never read or looked into existing ORM solutions or the patterns themselves...
I'm looking for theory only, please no examples...like the ORM solution here in devnetwork...
Cheers
