I just did some new project at work with heavy and extensive usage of data access over legacy databases, and I tried the DapperDotNet micro or/m instead of NHibernate. I just point before the fact that I've already all the infrastructure to map such a legacy DB in NH by using mapping by code and leveraging a lot of conventios in the DB table/field naming, so the mapping work does not make any difference for me, a part the fact that it is not needed with dapper ( or at least, not needed in the Entity based form ) since you just map the data transfer structures. So what's missing from using NH? Lets see:
Let's consider the pure benefit we have from Dapper:
So in my opinion: we probably code a little more in the data access phase, but we have more control, there is no a separate "mapping" part, that can be not so easy to mantain, but it really worth the effort to move definitely in the Micro Orm direction.
