No. It would obviously be called Objection Relationship mapping and not relational. This is really RDBMS 101 and we do have specific names and terms for a reason, please do not conflate them and don't confuse other people. When you will go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity%E2%80%93relationship_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity%E2%80%93relationship_mo..., you will see that it doesn't even mention ORMs. Now go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_mapping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_mapping. Read the "challenges" section that points to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_impedance_mismatch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_impedance_mi.... Now I'll just quote this: <<The object-relational impedance mismatch is a set of conceptual and technical difficulties that are often encountered when a relational database management system (RDBMS) is being served by an application program (or multiple application programs) written in an object-oriented programming language or style, particularly because objects or class definitions must be mapped to database tables defined by relational schema.>> Open any DBMS book. Pick one at random and read the definition of a "relation". It's always going to be "table". Alternatively, go to the most(?) popular ORM framework in the world and read this page http://hibernate.org/orm/what-is-an-orm/ http://hibernate.org/orm/what-is-an-orm/ More: https://www.fullstackpython.com/object-relational-mappers-orms.html https://www.fullstackpython.com/object-relational-mappers-or... <<An object-relational mapper (ORM) is a code library that automates the transfer of data stored in relational databases tables into objects that are more commonly used in application code.>> I could go on for hours, you get the idea.
