On: The principles of database design, or, the Truth is out there

That’s non argument. Just use a better ORM. Hibernate is able to do that for about 20 years.

That said, I’m not a fan of natural keys as primary keys. Especially composite keys. This just takes everybody back to the 80s/early 90s.

It only makes sense when there’s a huge storage benefit

Find me an ORM that can do:

* window functions

* SELECT FOR UPDATE

* row-level security

Prepared statements and query builders are the better ORM.
