So, if that's all "ORM" means, we already have it, and that was one of the features that made dBase so popular versus other "database" languages.
My understanding is that there is a "disconnect" between the programmers object based view of the data and the DBMS's relational view of the data. ORM's seek to "mend" this disconnect. Of course they do other things such as make CRUD easy and provide factory methods to create data classes.
I would not say dBase addressed this issue in any significant way, but I am not convinced that it needs to either.
