Patterns for Mapping Objects to Relational Databases

Introduction

Mapping Objects to Relational Databases is also referred to as Object-relational mapping or ORM. It is a programming technique for converting data between incompatible type systems in relational databases and object-oriented programming languages which creates a virtual object database that can be used from within the programming language [1]. The term "mapping" is used to refer to how objects and their relationships are mapped to the tables and relationships between them in a database [2].
