Introduction to ORM

Learn about ORMs and how they enables us to work with different SQL databases, handling complex queries and operations.

Overview of ORMs

An ORM is a programming technique that enables us to write queries and manipulate an SQL database using object-oriented techniques without writing SQL code directly. With ORMs, data is converted between two incompatible type systems. ORMs convert simple objects or JSON files as we see in JavaScript, into SQL queries, data types, and simple values that are compatible with SQL. ORMs also generate the logic to retrieve the data, types, and simple values that are very compatible with SQL.
