These are technically active record libraries. One of the popular ones is literally known as ActiveRecord, but the whole suite of them are implementations of the active record pattern.

ORM is simply the process of converting relations (i.e. sets of tuples, i.e. rows and columns) into structured objects and back again. This layer of concern is independent of query generation.

What everyone's talking about here is what is commonly referred to as an ORM by everyone apart from you, apparently.
