I hear you. When all you know is an ORM, you tend to treat SQL databases like dumb bit bucket add-ons to your app server. It's amazing how much potential performance and scalability are left on the floor because app developers can't shift their mindset when needed. Objects/structs cannot be assumed to map 1:1 with relations. What a world we'd live in if devs spent even 1/10 the effort examining their relational schema design that they spend arguing over whether a set, a list, or a queue is better for a given situation. It's like thoughts on Big-O stop cold at the database driver interface.
