I have the same fundamental question regarding ORM as I do with Entity Framework.  I have a database with 70+ tables.  Should I declare one massive model with all tables, views and stored procedures or smaller ones that are more task specific. 

The issues I am concerned about are memory footprint using one model and manage changes when I have many  small models where a table may exist in more that more model.

Your insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Donald Norris,

 Currently we do not support separating your model into different sub models and keeping them in sync with each other, however we have it in our plans for the future. As for the memory consumption I am afraid we have never did memory profiling (it is in our plans though) but I can assure you you should not have any problems with models consisting of 70-200 tables.

Best wishes,
