title: What is the difference between an ORM and an ODM?
body: <p>I am trying to figure out what the difference is between ORM and ODM, as far as I understand the concept, ORM (Object Relational Mapper) maps the relations between data, where as ODM (Object Document Mapper) deals with documents. Am I right in assuming that mySQL is an example of ORM and MongoDB is a example of ODM?</p>
  
  <p>As I am sure you can see, I am not too familiar with the theory of the concept. Could someone please clarify the differences between the two?</p>
