OO and Relational Model
ice.NET combines the best of both worlds: Comprehensible, domain-oriented modeling
capabilities from the object-oriented world and impressive performance and expressive
power from the world of relational queries.
Best of Both Worlds
With ice.NET we specify powerful queries in terms of objects and relationships. These
queries are executed by the platform using highly aggregated SQL queries optimized for
the particular database that stores the ice.NET data.
This approach avoids performance degradation due to query storms that can be
discovered in traditional object-oriented systems that retrieve complex results by
navigation.
