While using doctrine, I noticed that, to delete an entity, I need to retrieve that entity by given parameter(name,id etc) and then call the remove method. On the other hand, in query, I can just execute delete query.
So, seems like, using ORM style requires two operation and general sql operation require one operation. That's why, I am a little confusing, whether we should use delete(or update) operation in ORM? Isn't it worse in performance? Or Is there anything else I am missing? Can it be done in any other way in ORM style?
