As Ted Neward aptly pointed out in his post: ORM is the Vietnam of Computer Science(credit to Justin Etheredge for reminding me of this). You need to do it, but there's no real good end solution here. RDBMS do what they do very well (that is, persist things to disk and load them back up quickly and reliably).

"If ORM is Vietnam, then we must keep an eye on the real goal: The fall of the Soviet Union (RDBMS for managing slow disks)"
Bla bla bla ...

If ORM is Vietnam, what then is Iraq?

Clearly the author only uses small DBs. (I generally talk to a 700GB DB at work - and that isn't the largest here, by far). He also hasn't thought about clustered set-ups either. There is a good point in there, but it's lost under piles of naive nonsense. :-(

Awesome, I was waiting for DZone to become /. and over exaggerate everything. I can't wait until someone compares Gavin King to Hitler and Rod Johnson to Jesus !!
