That is to crack a nut with a sledgehammer.  SQL injection can be easily and 
more efficiently prevented with prepared statements.  While an Object-
Relational Mapper (ORM) can use those, and there are benefits to using an 
ORM, avoiding SQL injection should not be the primary reason to use an ORM.  
In fact, using an ORM is often not only overkill, but effectively *reduces* 
application performance.
