Actually I do get it and I'm a fan of Martin Fowler's books. As a writer of "Enterprise Applications" myself I'm just frustrated that the database manufacturers have not caught up with the programming manufactures. We have powerful OO programming languages but we have to translate objects to rows of data to store in a table! That is so last century.
Why do we have to make it hard on ourselves, surely creating code in an object oriented programming language and storing the data in an object oriented database is much simpler than using a relational database?
It is sad that Martin had to write this book. Only in our industry would we make it complex to store objects. Why don't the big RDBMS software manufacturers take some of their profits and create a true OODBMS so we don't have to do this crap.
