A comment on Choosing an ORM strategy.

I feel the notion of "ORM strategy" is fundamentally broken. The idea of an ORM is to allow your object model to match the program, and your data model to match your DB/data/etc. An ORM strategy feels like point missing, it is a tool to allow interaction with data, not the data model itself.

The article is essentially telling you to choose one of these pre-written notions of how a programs data flow operates.

If you go ahead and create your own dataflow notion, you'll have to adjust your ORM to fit, so its better to pick one and go with it.
