The slides from Lukas Eder's jOOQ presentation at Topconf 2013. The slides talk about the history of the Java and SQL integration, starting with JDBC, EJB 2.0, Hibernate, JPA, culminating in the claim that SQL is evolving in an entirely different direction than what is covered by Enterprise Java. This is where jOOQ comes in. jOOQ is currently the only platform in the Java market aiming at making SQL a first-class citizen in Java. This website depicts what every CTO / software architect should consider at the beginning of every new Java project: http://www.hibernate-alternative.com This version of the presentation on Slideshare is licensed under the terms of the CC-BY-SA license 3.0: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 The jOOQ name, the jOOQ logo and the picture with the harbour worker are trademarks by Data Geekery GmbH.

About my motivation
SQL dominates database systems
SQL seems «low level» and «dusty»
SQL can do so much more
SQL should be «sexy» again

JPA Facts
Hibernate HQL => JPQL

21. Intro
SQL and Java
jOOQ
What else is there?
iBATIS / MyBatis
XML based. SQL is externalised
Active, but seems to be at the end of its hype cycle
JDO
Has JDOQL (similar to HQL, JPQL)
Supports also NoSQL stores
Is pretty dead
Spring JDBC, Apache DbUtils, etc
Ease *some* of the JDBC pain
