Object Relation Mapping (software, library, etc)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_mapping

They can be good if you know what your doing and the project is big and
the ORM is very high quality. Most of the time you end up just having to
learn how to get the ORM to do what would have taken a couple minutes to
write an SQL query.

In a recent project in golang, I tried the "fantastic" ORM for golang
(https://gorm.io), and it could not get BOOL fields in an SQLite
database correct. Complete trash. Now I have to work to take it out. Not
again.
