Study Notes
Object/Relational Mapping (ORM)
- ORM bridges the gap between object-oriented programming languages like Java and relational databases.
- Object-oriented languages use classes and objects with attributes and methods for data representation and manipulation.
- Relational databases use tables and columns with data types for storing data in rows and columns.
- The need for ORM arises from the mismatch between these two paradigms.
Paradigm Mismatch
- Relational databases have a limited type system, often lacking support for user-defined data types (UDTs).
- Databases typically don't support deploying and executing Java classes directly.
- The mismatch between the granularity of object-oriented models and relational tables presents a challenge for persistence.
The Problem of Inheritance
- Java uses inheritance for type relationships, creating superclasses and subclasses.
- SQL databases do not directly support inheritance in table structures.
- Implementing inheritance in object-oriented models requires workarounds in relational databases.
- Polymorphism in Java, where a class can refer to instances of its subclasses, further complicates persistence.
