What is the main function of the ORM system when working with databases?

The main function of the ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) system is to automate the conversion of data between object-oriented programming and relational databases. ORM allows developers to work with the database through objects and classes without directly using SQL queries.

This simplifies development, improves code readability, and reduces the likelihood of errors when working with data. ORM provides:

• Mapping database tables to classes
• Mapping table rows to objects
• Automatic generation of SQL queries for CRUD operations

Example: instead of writing an SQL query to fetch users, you can call the method User::findAll() and get an array of user objects.
