What is Object-Relational Mapping?

Post by maxwell00 »

hello
Object relational mapping(ORM) is a practice of converting a set of values into formats that are compatible with a specific type of technology. Lots of object relational mapping focuses on the differences between database technologies and other software. ORM is incorporated into programming languages in order to make sure that databases will be able to hold and deliver information as necessary.

The inspiration for ORM, object oriented design, is found in object oriented programming languages like Visual Basic and the C suite. In these languages, a diverse set of variables and values can be made into an object to reduce the amount of code needed for a specific function or program. This same idea applies to object relational mapping, where objects that can be translated to a database are sometimes called “persistent” objects.
