I recently came across DO4 at the ORMeter site where it attracted my attention with its outstanding LINQ support and very good performance in the "heavy weight" ORM category. I am currently in the process of evaluating ORM's for a new greenfield project, which is ideal playground for DO4. I have to say that I am quite impressed so far with DO4!! It provides a refreshing code only environment which feels very natural from a designer point of view and here are some of DO4 qualities that are very appealing to me at this stage of my learning:
All this means to me that DO4 is very strong in the "core" ORM features. It eliminates most of the "noise" inherent to other ORM's and allows to get straight down to business. And the best of it all is that I am actually having fun using it :-) Patrick P.S. Being a newbie with DO4, I apologize in advance for asking dum questions!! |
Hello,
Thanks a lot for your warm words, we are really appreciate them!
Concerning usage of in-memory database: it has slightly different set of features comparing with regular SQL databases, moreover, execution of some complex LINQ queries returns non-identical results to SQL databases. Therefore, I'd recommend to use it only for testing purposes.
BTW, could we reference your post from our website as a testimonial?

No problem, it will be my pleasure.
