I'm still looking for that. Where is it? I've yet to find a good ORM. They end up being dark grey arcane boxes that require dedicated specialists to troubleshoot and tame. It appears objects and RDBMS just don't mix well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_impedance_mismatch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_impedance_mi...
I suggest we look at using more relational concepts on the application side instead of trying to translate back and forth between paradigms, spending too much grey matter and code on translating and converting back and forth.
Oracle Forms shows some possibilities. It requires about 1/5 the source code of OOP frameworks for similar CRUD applications. There are clunky aspects to Oracle Forms, I admit, but I believe the good stuff can be borrowed without also being forced to take the bad stuff. It's a starting point to app/DB integration exploration.
