Another of those ORM myths ;)

ORMs are not an alternative to learning SQL or understand how a DBMS works.
You need to be good at SQL and you need a good understanding of relational databases in order to use an ORM
efficiently.

One of the first sentences in the Hibernate manual is: "If you have a limited knowledge of JAVA or SQL, it is advised
thatyou start with a good introduction to that technology prior to attempting to learn Hibernate"
