MySQL and the ORM: How Far Can You Get Without SQL?
Modern object-relational mapping systems like ActiveRecord (Rails) allow developers to write complex applications without a single line of SQL. But how good are ORMs like ActiveRecord, DataMapper, and Sequel?
In this talk, we will:- Examine the dominant Ruby ORMs and their approach to database abstraction.
- Look at the SQL they generate when used with MySQL.
- Compare their performance to raw SQL.
- Talk about what developers need to know about MySQL, even when using an ORM.
