ORMs DO NOT force your Database to reflect your Domain Model / Object Oriented Application Architecture. It’s quite opposite. They allow you to MAP your normalized relational, Foreign Keyed data to your objects....A table is NOT an object, nor should it be. Relation Data contains a different model than a domain/business model object (Business Logic should be wrapped up in a Domain Model on the Application side or work in conjunction with a solid OO Developed Domain layer that serves application Entities). This is where ORMs come in. They grab your relational data and Map it to your business Entity. So that you can have your backend DB modeled anyway you want.

While Hibernate or NHibernate do not map to stored procedures, IBatis or IBatis.NET do, which are not “True” (Speaking Purist ORM here) ORMs, but functionally equivalent.

Now, if a person is using a code generator, then YES, they are going to try to make their tables Look their Business object so they can auto generate all Business objects and Data Access Layer classes and any Crud SQL...But while this is fast and easy, it is not the right way to go, Which is why I prefer IBatis. Don’t confuse Code Generation with ORM.
