A data mapper is not an ORM, it's a data mapper. It's a different access pattern. But I do agree that data mappers tend to be better.

- moojd 7y agoThis is the 'data mapper' vs 'active record' debate and I would argue both are sub-categories of 'Object-relational mapper.' I've seen multiple people in this thread even include query builders in their definition of ORM. I'm starting to wonder if much of the disagreement in this thread is caused by everyone having their own definition of ORM.
