Transparent persistence in object-relational mapping

In object-relational mapping products, the ability to directly manipulate data stored in a relational database using an object programming language is called transparent persistence. This is in contrast to a database sub-language used by embedded SQL or a call interface used by ODBC or JDBC. See transparent persistence vs. JDBC call-level interface (new window).

Using an object-relational mapping product means you will have less code to write and, depending on how you use your data, you might have higher performance over an embedded SQL or a call interface. See caching for object-relational mapping (new window).

With transparent persistence, the manipulation and traversal of persistent objects is performed directly by the object programming language in the same manner as in-memory, non-persistent objects. This is achieved through the use of intelligent caching as this animation shows. For coding examples, see how to access data in a relational database

And, if that does happen, will it be too late to implement any of the concepts in a real DBMS? There is no question...
