@ Kent Fredrick

My personal opinion of OR Mappers is their existence highlights a design flaw in the popular structure of databases"

I think you're talking about the difference between the relational model and object-oriented model. This is actually why we need ORMs, but the implementations of these models were done on purpose - it is not a design flow - it is just how things turned out to be historically.
