Object Oriented with more structure. we have certain files or blocks of code that are dedicated to a certain job.

Answer 5

O.R.M. is a way of structuring our models, and more specifically the relations between models in a way that we can use the O.R.M. commands to query the database more efficiently. With a few words, we can retrieve or add data to a database that would normally take 1-2 lines of SQL statements.
