Description

As I sayd in the title, it would be nice if the ORM layer could permit to map a 1:n association in the db as an unidirectional OneToMany in the classes, without using a JoinTable in the database.
This would permit us to get rid of the unnecessary database JoinTable, which creates disorder and decreases performance for no valuable reason.

Is it possible?
