What is ORM technologies?

ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) technologies are programming techniques for converting data between incompatible type systems using object-oriented programming languages. This creates, in effect, a 'virtual object database' that can be used from within the programming language. ORM systems allow developers to interact with a database using objects, abstracting away the underlying SQL queries and database-specific details. This simplifies database interactions, improves code maintainability, and enhances security by reducing the risk of SQL injection attacks.
