in reply to Why use an OO -> SQL mapper module?

If your application is naturally OO, and is not self-contained, then you need to persist your objects between runs, then Object-relational mapping makes a lot of sense.

If your application processes bulk data, manipulated en-mass using complex queries and joins, OO-relational mappings tend to get in the way more than help.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
