ONJava.com: Object-Relational Mapping with SQLMaps

ONJava.com: Object-Relational Mapping with SQLMaps: "Nowadays a lot of work is going on in the object-relational (OR) mapping field, with Hibernate having seemingly taken the lead over other frameworks. But there is one problem with object-relational mapping tools: most database administrators seem not to be very comfortable with the queries generated by these OR mapping tools. Sadly, these DBAs don't understand how brilliant your framework is in automatically generating queries for you, and how flexible it makes your application. They feel that with the database being your application's primary bottleneck, you should have complete control over SQL queries, so that they will be able to analyze and tune them for performance."
