jOOQ stands for Java Object Oriented Querying. It combines these essential features:
-
Code Generation: jOOQ generates a simple Java representation of your database schema. Every table, view, stored procedure, enum, UDT is a class.
-
Active records: jOOQ implements an easy-to-use active record pattern. It is not an OR-mapper, but provides a 1:1 mapping between tables/views and classes. Between columns and members.
-
Typesafe SQL: jOOQ allows for writing compile-time typesafe querying using its built-in DSL.
-
SQL standard: jOOQ supports all standard SQL language features including the more complex
UNION's, nestedSELECTs, joins, aliasing. -
Vendor-specific feature support: jOOQ encourages the use of vendor-specific extensions such as stored procedures, UDT's and ARRAY's, recursive queries, and many more.
