• ORM:first_example ## First example ## Let's have a look at a simple example where we want to persist a certain CFC to a MySQL database. Further below all necessary steps in order to get ORM to work with Lucee are described. We will assume the following scenario: We have an easy blog where an author can submit his blog post containing the following properties for an entry: * author * publish date * title * teaser * text * tags Nothing more for the moment
• ORM:introduction ### ORM with Lucee ### This section is going to describe how ORM (object relational mapping) is handled by Lucee 3.2 Server.

If you want to learn more about Hibernate, just check the corresponding [documentation](http://www.hibernate.org/). ### What is ORM ? ### According to Wikipedia ORM is: Object-relational mapping (ORM, O/RM, and O/R mapping) in computer software is a programming technique for converting data between incompatible type systems in object-oriented programming languages
