   Is this really true? I'm an experienced database programmer learning the   
   Java/OO way of doing things and I'm puzzled that people use Hibernate   
   and similar tools to define objects, with the database serving as just a   
   passive serialization mechanism with no thought to database theory. How   
   can this possibly work in real life? Also I've been told that stored   
   procedures are not supported by Hibernate, is that true? How can it be   
   that 20 years of relational theory seems to be getting thrown out   
   overnight? Or am I just misinformed?
