In Defense of Lazy Loading
In this article, we’ll talk about ORMs and lazy loading.
Do you need an ORM?
Do you need an ORM for your project given you use a relational database? And not just some lightweight like Dapper but a big one: NHibernate, Entity Framework, Hibernate? I’d like to address this question with this post.
Combining SQL Server and MongoDB using NHibernate
We often think that relational and NoSQL databases are somewhat incompatible. But what if we could use both within a single domain model? I’d like to show how to combine SQL Server and MongoDB together and discuss what benefits we could get from it.
Separation of Concerns in ORM
Last week we compared Entity Framework and NHibernate from a DDD perspective. Today, I’d like to dive deeper into what Separation of Concerns (SoC) is and why it is so important. We’ll look at some code examples and features that break the boundaries between the domain and persistence logic. Separation of concerns in ORM There are several concerns we deal with in software development. In most applications, there are at least three of them clearly defined: UI, business logic and database.
