ORM in computer science is a programming technique for converting data between a relational database and the heap of an Object-Oriented Programming language.

An ORM is a translation layer between the relational database and the Object-Oriented Programming language used. This means that instead of writing SQL yourself, you can use your programming language to generate the SQL.
