• Key Concepts: 
  Object/Relational mapping (ORM) is a technique used to map objects in an object-oriented programming language to a relational database. It is used to bridge the gap between the object-oriented and relational worlds, allowing developers to work with objects while still using the power of a relational database. In SAP, ORM is used in the BC-JAS-EJB Container EJB component. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Object/Relational mapping is used in SAP to map objects in an object-oriented programming language to a relational database. This allows developers to work with objects while still using the power of a relational database. To use ORM in SAP, developers must first create an object model that defines the structure of the objects they want to map. Once the object model is created, developers can then use ORM tools such as Hibernate or JPA to map the objects to the database. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Object/Relational mapping in SAP, it is important to keep in mind that ORM is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Different ORM tools have different features and capabilities, so it is important to choose the right tool for your project. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your object model is well designed and optimized for performance before attempting to map it to a database.
