Subject: Re: sqlite3 & joins

I would always recommend using the database to perform joins. People 
have spent thousands of hours (perhaps incorporating the work of 
millions of other peoples' hours) in designing the database to optimise 
joins, so why would you possibly want to reinvent that wheel?

From what I've seen of ActiveRecord, it has some way of expressing 
relationships but I'm a bit dubious about the whole object-relation 
mapping model. Database-centric approaches have worked for big complex 
systems for decades so why force the issue.
