The database is a DETAIL!
Something that you don't want to know about.
Something off in the corner that somehow stores things.
You don't wanna know how it stores things.
I want the things that it stores.
I don't care how it stores them,
I don't care what language it uses,
I don't give a rats patootie about the relational model,
it doesn't interests me at the moment in time.
Other people it does, that's fine.
But I'm trying to write an application here.
The relational model means nothing to me.
I want those objects.
I want those entities.
I want those things out of the database.
And why do I have to know that this things is there?
Why do I have to follow all its stupid rules?
I don't wanna know that the database is there.
Now I want there to be one.
It's important to have one, but I don't want it in the middle.
I don't want the database dominating the shape of my code.
I do not want the database telling ME what my objects look like.
I want some way to abstract the database.
Get it out of the way.
Turn it into a detail.
I want to defer the decision about the database.
...
I want the database to be a plugin into the application.
