When not to use ORM?

June 13th, 2008

I was recently in a discussion where I shared that ORM might not be a good tool for applications whose main focus is to:

  1. provide UI for editing data in the database tables
  2. simply generate reports of the database data

I feel that ORM is a great tool when you have a solid domain model but from what I have seen, you really don’t need a domain model to “interface” database tables. 

Any thoughts??
