Are ORMs slow?
Yes, ORM will slow down your application. By how much depends on how far the abstraction goes, how well your object model maps to the database, and other factors. The question should be, are you willing to spend more developer time and use straight data access or trade less dev time for slower runtime performance.
What is ORM SQL?
Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) is a technique that lets you query and manipulate data from a database using an object-oriented paradigm. When talking about ORM, most people are referring to a library that implements the Object-Relational Mapping technique, hence the phrase “an ORM”.
When should I use ORM?

What is the point of ORM?
An ORM tool keeps your object model separate from your persistence model, i.e., your java code need not know about your database tables. You write your data modification code in a programming language of your choice and the ORM tool will map that to the database for you.
What is the object relational mapping framework ( Orm )?
It is an object-relational mapping framework (ORM) that enables developers to work with relational data using domain-specific objects without having to write code to access data from a database.
Are there good reasons not to use an ORM?
There are two reasons why I’d not use an ORM: It is strictly forbidden by the company’s policy (in which case I’d go work somewhere else) The project is extremely data intensive and using vendor specific solutions (like BulkInsert) makes more sense.
How to implement a generic data access layer ( DAL )?
Data access layer (DAL) The DAL is simply a C# class library project where you define the model generated from the existing database along with the generic implementation for reading and modifying the data in the database. It is the only layer in the application that will actually know anything about and have any dependencies on EF.
