Oh god yes! Once you start down the ORM (Object Relational Mapper) path
you'll never look back. Being able to do database IO code that reads
like english is such a performance improvement:
Customer c = Customer.GetById(12345);
c.Address1 = "123 Main St";
c.Save();
Makes a lot more sense than all the plumbing and setup code you need to
go directly to the database. Plus, you can then put processes into the
business object layer, so you could do:
Customer c = Customer.GetById(12345);
if (c.IsOverCreditLimit())
//Disallow order
else
//Allow order
Where IsOverCreditLimit() is a function that check 6 different tables
and performs a computation. And then you've also isolated that code into
one place to maintain and debug.
