An OOP domain model in an information system is like trying to build a car using a roadmap instead of an engineering diagram. The value of OOP becomes clearer when used to decompose and construct the solution rather than the problem space. ORMs fail to grasp that, and fail to grasp the relational model too. They should rather be called network data model to SQL mappers, they facilitate neither good OOP nor relational data management.
