While I have not been astoundingly dissatisfied with the selection of object relational mappers out there, I haven't been completely impressed either. I feel like I have something to contribute, in the spirit of FOSS.

Because of this, porm exists so that people can learn from my approach and if at the very least, improve their own works by understanding PHP and the lifecycle of an object relational mapper a bit better.

One of the biggest things is that I think there is an awful lot of complexity and restrictions introduced by object relational mappers. Each one is a manifestation of the designer's perspective on database AND application design. porm is no exception to this and is "opinionated" as well.

If you disagree with a particular behaviour, no harm is done by making a feature request. Although it may not be implemented right away, any contribution helps the design of an inevitable solution.

Hopefully this helps.
