Transfer v.s. CF 9 ORM

[Dan O'Keefe]

After doing some searching around, I was wondering if anyone has
posted a feature comparison between transfer and the new CF Hibernate
ORM.

I have not seen a feature comparison, per se, but pretty much everything that is in Transfer is in Hibernate, and then some.  The one big exception that jumps out at me is the absence of clone() in Hibernate.  (Or at least if it exists I have not happened upon it yet, nor have those I've talked to about it.)  However, there are obvious differences between Transfer and Hibernate in the implementation of those various features.  :-)

Hmmmmm, come to think of it, perhaps _that_ is what you meant by "feature comparison"?

One thing Transfer has that CF's HIbernate lacks is the ability to use
multiple datasources. You have to instantiate two transfer factories
to do it (which might be a memory/performance issue, but I'm not
certain), but you can do it. I don't think there's any way to do that
with CF9's built-in feature.

That is true, that only one datasource can be used, but it is not true that only one database can be used. There are ways to access more than one database via a single datasource. Terry Ryan has written about it here:

Sure, but that's a bit of a kludge and pretty limited in its usage (as
some of the people who commented on it).
