A Scala ORM and DSL for talking with Databases with minimum verbosity and maximum type safety

once and reuse them as sub queries within other statements.
Write declaratively
Write as declaratively as SQL, only with less boilerplate. SQL’s declarativeness is preserved, not encapsulated in a lower level API that requires imperative and procedural code to get things done.
Explicitly control retrieval granularity and laziness
A significant part of optimizing a database abstraction layer is to choose for every situation the right balance between fine and large grained retrieval, and the optimal mix of laziness and eagerness. Data retrieval strategies are explicit in Squeryl rather than driven by configuration like current generation Java ORMs read more
Finding the best approach when accessing a database from Java can be a daunting task. The most common solution is to program directly to the JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) APIs. The result is hard-to-read source files, bloated with complex code that ha
The iBATIS Data Mapper framework makes it easier to use a database with Java and .NET applications. iBATIS couples objects with stored procedures or SQL statements using a XML descriptor. Simplicity is the biggest advantage of the iBATIS Data Mapper over
JGrinder is a framework for mapping Objects in Java to various persistent stores. These include relational databases, in memory 'storage', and flat files. The architecture allows additional persistent stores to be supported (such as storing objects over a
PriDE is an ultra-thin and high-performance Java O/R mapper for relational databases, originally developed by MATHEMA Software GmbH. It doesn't follow any persistence management standards but relies on common design patterns and is production-proved in bo
