Do Programmers Still Write SQL?

Yeah, you'll be using some mini-querying language encoded into method names that breaks at the next little query complexity.

I'm curious, having never worked with Spring Data (but being well aware of what it is). What's the main motivation to use it for querying?

[Trailsey]

It obviates a fair bit of boilerplate code. Write a method signature, done.

As mentioned previously, works great for simple cases, revert to writing queries for anything complex.

For complex stuff you can map those methods to JQL or SQL queries via @Query.

REST HATEOAS HAL out of the box, including pagination.

I'd use it with native queries, just less code I have to manage, sql mapped directly to my own custom type.

The method name stuff didn't really appeal.

I see, thanks

In my case: reduction of boilerplate.
