Hi Vivek

the point you raise is valid with pretty much all the ORM you'll be able to
find (including Hibernate/NHibernate on J2EE/.NET, or ActiveRecord for
Rails). These tools helps you in term of productivity and in ease of
development in general, yet you have to be careful as the abstraction can
(not always, but still can) have a cost.

Learning SQL and looking for bottlenecks at the db queries level will prove
useful anyway!


cheers
