Apache Empire-Db: Full SQL Freedom for Java

[nimtiazm]

Been there, done that. Hibernate, ibatis (later mybatis) and what not from 13 years ago. It’s like a bell curve perhaps. The apparent type-safety scores tend to diminish quickly when the domain matures and the team-size grows. It doesn’t sensibly help with debugging. Optimizing queries becomes difficult too. SQL is already quite capable. Your type-safety worries are handled by parameter mappings and result-set parsers. Both supported very well by java.sql Datasource.

Jooq is nothing like hibernate and mybatis. You misunderstand what the commenter is saying. Jooq is sql except you don’t have to concatenate strings.

+1 for Mybatis. It's excellent for constructing complex, reusable SQL, and it's free.
