We propose to deprecate ActiveRecord and suggest to remove it with ILIAS 12 or 13 (depending on how quickly users can replace their implementations). The ActiveRecord was a simple way of handling database operations and object mapping in its day. However, the pattern is not very lightweight and has a very large overhead. It also leads to many database queries and high memory consumption. For several releases now, the “Repository Pattern” has been propagated as a better alternative.
