I'm building a relatively small database-driven app. I'm accustomed to
first developing the schema and e/r (entity-relationship) model, then
writing the code against the db.
I'm relatively new to the OO way of doing things. Am I really supposed
to ignore db design and do my object design first, then use an
object-relational mapping layer and never actually do any db design?
Or is this more theory than practice, and real-world developers still do
their db schema design first?
Any and all viewpoints and suggestions for further reading are welcome.
