"problem with ORM"

[juan_gandhi]

Sure it demonstrates in our inability to do cross-tier refactorings; you change the db, then you do some kind of transaction changing the code, and vice versa.

But we have to understand that this is so for all kinds of distributed data. The language changes in one end of the world, and a tier in the other end has to adapt, changing its language accordingly. Or disconnect. Or start a war. Or introduce United Nations that would keep all the definitions.

> you do some kind of transaction changing the code

what does that even mean?

That means you have to coordinate changes in your object model in your code and in table structures in your db. For this you open a transaction, mentally, or organizationally. When done, you close it. The usual thing in real life.
