Object-SQL Mapping on Software Development

In professional web development, web and software developers play with different programming concepts - Object-SQL Mapping is one among them. Also called object-relational mapping (O/RM), Object-SQL Mapping is a programming technique that links SQL databases to object –oriented language concepts and thus create a virtual object database. Both free and commercial packages are available for performing Object-SQL Mapping. Depending on one’s choice and requirement, he/she can opt for that one that best meets his/her goal. There are also evidences of many programmers contributing to web sites development opting for coding their own Object-SQL Mapping.

Data management tasks that are often practiced through Object-SQL Mapping are typically implemented by manipulating objects that almost always have non-scalar values. Database products like structured query language database management systems (SQL DBMS) can store as well as manipulate scalar values like strings and integers within normalized tables. In such a scenario, the programmer working for web based development must either convert the object values into groups of simpler values or only use simple scalar values within the program. And most importantly, Object-SQL Mapping is used to implement the first approach.

But there are a few problems that may arise when transforming objects to forms in any Object-SQL Mapping activity. The prime problem is translating those objects to forms which can be stored in the database for easy retrieval. The problem is while preserving the properties of the objects and relationship that they share, these objects often are labeled to be persistent.

One great advantage of Object-SQL Mapping is it makes the software more robust by reducing the line of code programmed. This not only reduces the work load off programmers but also ensures minimum errors. But remember, when a bulk of data is deleted, object SQL mapping tools may not perform well.

In fine, it can be said that because of its user-friendliness and easy availability, Object-SQL Mapping is very commonly used across programming projects worldwide.
