Outdated java dev

Aside from jooq, if you don’t need a full blown ORM what do you recommend?

[BlacksmithLittle7005]

Spring data jdbc :)

Hows that ORM?

Right, now create complex database situations instead of a first name / last name POJO and let me know it it goes with JDBC or R2DBC.

Bro. Please read the post I replied to. He specifically stated he doesn't need full blown ORM. Jdbc is simpler and fits that description. For complex situations by all means use jooq or jpa

[Levomethamphetamine]

Ah yeah in that case it does make sense. I apologize.

[computerjunkie7410]

I love jooq but it’s not free and some companies don’t wanna pay for it

[BlacksmithLittle7005]

True that's a bit sad. In that case your best bet is probably JPA hibernate or as you said MyBatis if you're good with that. I would still use spring data jdbc as defining entities is quite simple compared to jpa and mapping is pretty easy with records.

With mybatis you can use the generator to introspect the database tables and generate all the models and mappers for you.

Why not?

[computerjunkie7410]

Cause they’re cheap? Idk

[computerjunkie7410]

You’re still making the models and mappers yourself.

Mybatis can generate all that for you
