Subsonic ORM experience

Question

I\'m looking for new ORM for a important project, im used to nHibernate with ActiveRecord and I already have a very bad experiencia with EF4, performance and crashing GUI.

Answer 1

Some time ago, i was looking for a simple ORM for a small application and SubSonic was just what i needed. The setup is easy and i didn't need much time to add some persistence to my domain classes. What i liked about it, was the option to automigrate the database model based on the domain classes.

The downside of it, is that the feature set is rather limited. The things i missed the most was the option to fetch complete object graphs and the support of additional indexes. SubSonic has it's use as a persistence tool for small apps, but i for important or big apps i would rather use nHibernate or a commercial ORM like LLBLGen.

Before choosing an ORM, you should decide on the basic data access requirements. Do you want to use the Active Record pattern or the Adapter pattern? What about concurrency, performance, inheritance, etc...
