Actually, I don't use ORM for much the same reason I don't use cfinsert / cfupdate. I still like to craft my SQL and I often have complex relationships that are easy to write in SQL and a PITA to model in an ORM.

While I generally agree with that sentiment, ORM does the same thing on a more grand scale, and I haven't seen anyone railing against using that technology. Personally it's been many years since I last looked at cfinsert/cfupdate, but if the queries that they generate are 'safe' then it might be worth taking another look at as an option to use where appropriate. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337397 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
