ORMkerrosta

ORMkerrosta is a Finnish term that translates to "ORM layer" or "ORM layer object." It refers to the component within a software application responsible for interacting with a database using an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM). The primary function of an ORMkerrosta is to bridge the gap between object-oriented programming languages and relational databases. It allows developers to manipulate database records as if they were programming language objects, abstracting away much of the underlying SQL code.

This layer typically handles tasks such as mapping database tables to classes, database columns to object attributes, and executing queries to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data. By using an ORMkerrosta, developers can often write cleaner, more maintainable code and reduce the risk of SQL injection vulnerabilities. Popular ORM frameworks in various programming languages provide this functionality, and the term ORMkerrosta emphasizes this specific part of the ORM's architecture. Its implementation can vary significantly depending on the chosen ORM and the programming language in use.
