"textContent": "submitted by HaraldvonBlauzahn to programming\n20 points | 24 comments\nhttps://martinfowler.com/bliki/OrmHate.html\n\nThis is a pragmatic piece of Fowler on the rather dry topic of Object-relational mappings - in short, the attempt to marry an object-oriented code base with a relational data base.\n\n> Usually you’d get enough early success to commit deeply to the framework and only after a while did you realize you were in a quagmire - this is where I sympathize greatly with Ted Neward’s famous quote that object-relational mapping is the Vietnam of Computer Science\n\nWhat Fowler refers to here, is Ted Neward’s article “The Vietnam Of Computer Science”",
