An ORM is a higher level of abstraction. It result in
less code than using SQL and is therefore cost
efficient.

Not all database operations are suitable
for ORM, so even though one use ORM then one would
typical also use some direct SQL.

But the topic at hand handling of inheritance hierarchies
is one where ORM shines.
