DESIGNING AN OBJECT RELATION MAPPING SYSTEM IN PHP

Abstract

Object Relational Mapping is a programming technique used by software developers to convert data between incompatible systems. This technique is used in object-oriented programming languages, hence the “Object” in Object Relational Mapping. Often times we see ORM systems being used by developers when interacting with relational database management systems. ORM is about creating classes that mimic the tables in the database but in a more business oriented manner rather than the normalized form used by the RDBMS.ORM, object, relational, mapping, class, business model, normalization, primary key, foreign key, methods, properties
