Tuples + Objects + Infosets =Too Much Stuff!. Once upon a time it was possible for every new programmer to quickly learn how to write readable programs to Create, Read, Update and Delete business information. These so-called CRUD applications, along with reporting, were pervasive throughout business and essentially defined IT or MIS as it was called in those days...

There are a number of interesting articles to be found on the JOT (Journal of Object Technology) web site [Jon Israelson's Blog]
This is a really great artile in my opinion. During the last year, I've been able to work with 4 of the top Java object/relational technologies (Castor JDO, Solarmetric Kodo JDO, Hibernate, and Toplink). In each case I had to learn a great deal about the framework in order to simply persist my objects and find them again. Not only that, but because I needed to write unit tests against my database, I still had to write SQL to figure out my test result sets! Go read the article - it nails the point.
