The whole concept of putting an object layer around every table in a relational database typically produces applications that are don't scale well, perform terribly, and are maintenance nightmares.

It was very in in the late 90's ... kind of client server gone wild into the 4th dimension. It did produce some very lucrative consulting gigs.

To produce scalable applications one should take advantage of the features of a relational system not try to pretend that the database doesn't exist. Received on Tue Dec 12 2006 - 11:55:06 CST
