Deep dives

ORM query generation compared to underlying SQL

The process of constructing equivalent queries in the ORM can sometimes result in generated SQL queries that do not closely resemble the underlying SQL logic due to certain limitations and nuances. The ORM's structure is model-centric rather than table-focused, hindering the direct translation of certain SQL operations. Suggestions have been made to improve transparency between the ORM and SQL representations to enhance understanding and flexibility.
