If you care about performance, you probably don't want to use an ORM anyway. I know people tend to say the problem [of E/R vs. OO impedance mismatch] has been solved, but in performance critical applications beyond naive CRUD, it most certainly has not. I call it the projection problem and I have a strong suspicion it's the real motivation behind Gavin King's "Ceylon" language. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
