Version 3.4.0 - June 20, 2014
================================================================================
With this awesome new minor release version, we have finally started supporting
a couple of very important aspects of the SQL language:
- Common table expressions
- Transactions
- DDL
Common table expressions have been missing from jOOQ for a long time, and
they're now finally part of our DSL API, both for recursive or regular usage.
Transactions are handled very nicely in JavaEE or through Spring TX. But if
you're running small standalone programs with JDBC (and jOOQ) only, you have to
resort to a transaction API that is no longer contemporay. With jOOQ 3.4, we're
now shipping a Java-8 ready transaction API and a default implementation backed
by JDBC transactions. Our manual also contains an example implementation that is
backed by Spring TX. While we do not want to compete with popular transaction
models, we do want to provide a simple, functional-interface oriented API to
apply transactions in client code.
DDL is very hard to standardise across databases, and with jOOQ 3.4, we have now
started adding type safe support for some DDL statements, including thus far:
- ALTER SEQUENCE
- ALTER TABLE
We're going to be adding support for more DDL statements in jOOQ 3.5 as part of
our more general DDL support strategy.
Apart from that, there is a tremendous amount of minor improvements. See below

Version 3.3.0 - February 14, 2014
================================================================================
Finally, a new awesome jOOQ release is ready for you to download! The most
important feature first:
The SEEK method
--------------We've been blogging about keyset paging before:
- http://blog.jooq.org/2013/10/26/faster-sql-paging-with-jooq-using-the-seek-met
hod/
- http://blog.jooq.org/2013/11/18/faster-sql-pagination-with-keysets-continued/
Every SQL developer should have this tool in their toolchain. And now, with
jOOQ 3.3, we natively support a synthetic SQL clause for you to express keyset
paging very easily. jOOQ is the only database software out there to do so!
Gudu Software's SQL 2 jOOQ Parser
--------------------------------We're very happy to announce our collaboration with Gudu Software Ltd who have
implemented a very powerful SQL parser and transformer for enterprise databases.
Together with Gudu Software, we have created an Open Source SQL 2 jOOQ parser
that takes native SQL statements as input and generates jOOQ code as output.
The source code can be found here:
- https://github.com/sqlparser/sql2jooq
And our manual features a tutorial here:
- http://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/manual/tools/sql2jooq/
We will ship, test and maintain this awesome new addition with our own
deliverables. So far, SQL 2 jOOQ supports the MySQL and PostgreSQL dialects and
it is in an alpha stadium. Please, community, provide as much feedback as possib
le
to make this great tool rock even more!
Please take note of the fact that the sql2jooq library is Open Source, but it de
pends
on the commercial gsp.jar parser, whose trial licensing terms can be seen here:
- https://github.com/sqlparser/sql2jooq/blob/master/sql2jooq/LICENSE-GSQLPARSER.

Great new SQL Feature Support
----------------------------We've been looking around for SQL standard and vendor-specific features, such as
the WINDOW clause (standard!), CROSS APPLY, OUTER APPLY, LATERAL join, DEFAULTs
for inserts, and nice datetime arithmetic functions and emulations thereof.
As always, we've also blogged about all these features. See the following links
for more details:

Version 3.2.0 - October 9, 2013
================================================================================
With the new jOOQ 3.2, apart from introducing great new features, we are
changing quite a few things on how we operate. At Data Geekery GmbH, we believe
in Open Source. But we also believe in the creative power enabled by commercial
software. This is why we have chosen to implement a dual-licensing strategy.

But jOOQ 3.2 also ships with great new features! They include:
A new RecordListener SPI which can be hooked into the Configuration in order to
control ActiveRecord lifecycle events. This is very useful if you want to
initialise some database records prior to inserting new data, or if you want to
implement a central ID generation strategy, e.g. by generating Java UUIDs.
A new, experimental VisitListener SPI which can be hooked into the Configuration
in order to control jOOQ's complete QueryPart rendering and variable binding
lifecycle. Use this powerful SPI to perform custom SQL transformation, e.g. to
implement shared-schema multi-tenancy, or a security layer centrally preventing
access to certain data.
With this release, the Oracle and DB2 SQL dialect families will now be able to
distinguish Oracle 10g, 11g, 12c features, as well as DB2 9.x, 10.x features.
This is important as more and more databases start supporting the SQL standard
OFFSET .. FETCH clause and other clauses that are emulated by jOOQ.
The code generator has experienced a lot of improvements, mainly including a new
MatcherStrategy, which can be configured through Maven or XML code generator
configurations. This generator strategy will allow you to implement several
regular-expression based naming pattern replacements for all sorts of generated
artefacts. This is extremely useful to generate table, record, pojo class name
prefixes, suffixes in particular, or to just completely redesign the way the
jOOQ code generator generates things.

Version 3.1.0 - June 30, 2013
================================================================================
With this release, MariaDB is now finally officially supported by jOOQ! MariaDB
is a MySQL fork, which currently has a very similar feature set as its parent.
As such forks tend to evolve into different directions very quickly, it makes
sense to add formal support in jOOQ.
SQL Server 2012 is another SQL dialect that is now officially supported in jOOQ,
allowing to make use of the newly supported ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING and similar
windowing clauses, as well as the long awaited OFFSET .. FETCH clause. From now
on, jOOQ SQLDialect.family() allows to define a super-set of SQL dialects by the
same vendors with only subtle differences.
POJO mapping is taken to the next level. jOOQ opened up its internal
DefaultRecordMapper providing useful Record to POJO mapping algorithms. But your
custom domain model might be more complex. Instead of creating the next
impedance mismatch, trying to foresee your own mapping algorithm needs, jOOQ
allows you to inject a RecordMapperProvider into your Configuration, allowing to
override record mapping with arbitrary behaviour.
This minor release is also a strong step forward towards a more unified SQL
experience, where row value expression IN predicates and comparison predicates
are simulated with an equivalent EXISTS predicate. See this blog post for more
details:

Version 3.0.0 - April 28, 2013
================================================================================
This major release is a great move towards better integration of SQL as a
language in Java. Unlike any other database abstraction framework, jOOQ now
formally supports the notion of "row value expressions". The jOOQ API uses
Xtend-generated API types from Row1 .. Row22, as well as Record1 .. Record22 to
bring you even more compile-time typesafety on a record-level.
In SQL, you can typesafely write
<pre class="prettyprint lang-sql">

SELECT * FROM t WHERE (t.a, t.b) = (1, 2)
SELECT * FROM t WHERE (t.a, t.b) OVERLAPS (date1, date2)
SELECT * FROM t WHERE (t.a, t.b) IN (SELECT x, y FROM t2)
UPDATE t SET (a, b) = (SELECT x, y FROM t2 WHERE ...)
INSERT INTO t (a, b) VALUES (1, 2)
</pre>
In jOOQ, you can now (also typesafely!) write
<pre class="prettyprint lang-java">
select().from(t).where(row(t.a, t.b).eq(1, 2));
// Type-check here: -----------------> ^^^^
select().from(t).where(row(t.a, t.b).overlaps(date1, date2));
// Type-check here: ------------------------> ^^^^^^^^^^^^
select().from(t).where(row(t.a, t.b).in(select(t2.x, t2.y).from(t2)));
// Type-check here: -------------------------> ^^^^^^^^^^
update(t).set(row(t.a, t.b), select(t2.x, t2.y).where(...));
// Type-check here: --------------> ^^^^^^^^^^
insertInto(t, t.a, t.b).values(1, 2);
// Type-check here: ---------> ^^^^
</pre>
This also applies for existing API, which doesn't involve row value expressions:
select().from(t).where(t.a.eq(select(t2.x).from(t2));
// Type-check here: ---------------> ^^^^
select().from(t).where(t.a.eq(any(select(t2.x).from(t2)));
// Type-check here: -------------------> ^^^^
select().from(t).where(t.a.in(select(t2.x).from(t2));
// Type-check here: ---------------> ^^^^
</pre>
And for UNIONs
select(t1.a, t1.b).from(t1).union(select(t2.a, t2.b).from(t2));
// Type-check here: -------------------> ^^^^^^^^^^
</pre>
These type-checks are preformed by your Java compiler, considering the generic
type information of your SQL statement's Record data types. These include:
-
Record1<T1>
Record2<T1, T2>
Record3<T1, T2, T3>
...
Record22<T1, T2, T3, .., T22>
The highest degree of typesafety was chosen to be 22, to match Scala's Tuple22,
Product22 and Function22 types. Higher degree records are still supported by
jOOQ, just without the additional typesafety.
This Record typesafety is applied to
- SELECT statements
- INSERT and MERGE statements: the VALUES() clause
- UPDATE statements: SET A = (SELECT...)
UPDATE statements with row value expressions: SET (A, B) = (SELECT...)

Quantified comparison predicates: ANY(SELECT...) and ALL(SELECT...)
Comparison predicates: = (SELECT...)
IN predicates: IN (SELECT...)
BETWEEN predicates: BETWEEN (SELECT...) AND (SELECT...)
Generated records
The new VALUES() constructor
Scala integration for conversion of jOOQ Record[N] to Scala's Tuple[N]
Apart from this major improvement, there had been many minor changes throughout
the jOOQ API. Here are some important ones:
- Factory has been split into DSL (static QueryPart construction) and
DSLContext (Query execution, "attached" QueryPart construction). This greatly
improves the overall DSL experience while allowing for more fine-grained
Executor lifecycle control.
- A ConnectionProvider has been introduced as an abstraction of the JDBC
Connection lifecycle. The standalone Connection and pooled DataSource modes
are still supported, but you can now inject your own ConnectionProvider for
more control.
- A lot of performance improvements have been implemented within the jOOQ API
removing most of the overhead caused by jOOQ when fetching data from JDBC
- A JDBC Mock API has been added to help you create simple unit tests for your
application built on top of jOOQ.
- A VALUES() constructor is now supported, and derived column lists to alias
tables and columns in one go.
- The data type API has been greatly simplified. This allowed for the
introduction of runtime precision, scale, and length information.
- CRUD has been improved through many more CRUD batch operations, explicit
INSERT and UPDATE (in addition to store()), and explicit handling of jOOQ's
internal changed flags.
As this is a major release, some backwards-incompatibilities were inevitable.
For those users among you, migrating from jOOQ 2.x to 3.0, here are a couple of
useful hints:
http://www.jooq.org/doc/3.0/manual/reference/migrating-to-3.0/
Note, that for technical reasons, jOOQ 3.0.0 could not yet be integration
tested with DB2, Ingres, and Sybase ASE. Consider using jOOQ 2.6, instead
Note, that further code generation and model API improvements were postponed to
a later release

================================================================================
This release has a new main feature: the type-safe support for row value
expressions also known as tuples - up to a degree of 8. The API is formed in a
similar way as pre-existing tuple support in languages like C# or Scala.
jOOQ's Scala integration has also been improved through the new jOOQ-Scala
module, which provides some useful implicit defs for operator overloading.
Future versions of jOOQ-Scala may experiment with Scala 2.10's Macros
This release also ships with a lot of new deprecation to help you prepare for
the upcoming major release.
Minor feature improvements include:
-
Lots of new fetchGroups() and intoGroups() methods, thanks to Ivan Dugic

================================================================================
Welcome to another great database integration in jOOQ: Firebird! This is one of
the more popular open source SQL databases out there, with a rich feature set,
including the SQL standard MERGE statement.
Apart from this, the main new features are:
- Optimistic locking. jOOQ's UpdatableRecord API transparently implements
optimistic locking on its store() and delete() methods. By default, the
in-memory record is compared with the one in the database at write time. But
you can also let jOOQ handle incremented VERSION or TIMESTAMP columns for you.
- Oracle feature increment. Many nice Oracle features are now supported:
user-defined aggregates, regular expressions, Oracle Text, CONNECT_BY_ROOT and
ORDER SIBLINGS BY clausess, partitioned outer joins and more
- jOOQ's convenience API has been greatly enhanced. This includes many improved
fetch methods and new short forms for equal=eq, notEqual=ne, greaterThan=gt,
etc. to better align jOOQ with JPA, XSL, QueryDSL and many other tools that
abbreviate these keywords
- Many types and methods have been deprecated to help you foresee the upcoming
changes in jOOQ 3.0

Version 2.4.0 - July 8, 2012
================================================================================
This release's main new feature is jOOQ's added convenience in
Factory initialisation for those users who get their database
connectivity through JDBC DataSources. If supplied with a
DataSource, a jOOQ Factory will handle the Connection lifecycle
internally, closing the Connection when no longer needed.
The H2 MERGE statement syntax is now supported and simulated in
other databases, for those users that prefer its more intuitive
syntax over the SQL standard.
The code generator now also allows for generating interfaces and
DAOs per table. DAO generation was previous discussed on the user
group and seen in a competitor product called OneWebSQL.
The jOOQ Console now supports breakpoints for even more effective
SQL development

Version 2.3.0 - May 6, 2012
================================================================================
This is a minor feature increment release, featuring many useful
API enhancements, some new functions, some new syntax support
elements, improved source code generation and a lot of
improvements on the jOOQ Console, thanks to Christopher Deckers.
The updated jOOQ Console now allows for filtering incoming
statements directly on the server side, using regular expression
filters on statement text and other features. These improvements
are a part of a general strategy to introduce breakpoints and
more sophisticated debugging capability to the jOOQ Console.

================================================================================
This is a minor patch release, fixing some issues related to the

with defaultSchema
#1289 - DefaultBindContext logs as Util.class
#1297 - Compilation error in CUBRID generated artefacts
referencing OBJECT types
#1298 - Avoid source code generation errors when generating code

================================================================================
Finally, jOOQ has added support for another database, and a very
promising one, that is. http://www.cubrid.org is a surprisingly
original mixture of a relational and object-oriented database
where tables and classes are synonyms, so are records and
instances. The CUBRID database has a high level of compatibility
with MySQL and is aimed at MySQL users wanting more performance
for their web applications. For details, see the slides here:
http://www.slideshare.net/cubrid/growing-in-the-wild-the-story-by-cubrid-databas
e-developers
jOOQ is proud to have become a CUBRID partner, looking forward
to further cooperation with CUBRID in the near future.
Apart from that, jOOQ now fully supports SQL standard INTERVAL
data types. With JDBC and JPA lacking official support for this,
jOOQ aims for becoming the tool of choice for vendor-specific
date time arithmetic. True INTERVAL data type support is given in
HSQLDB, Ingres, Oracle, Postgres databases. Besides that, CUBRID
and MySQL support INTERVAL data type arguments in functions. In
other dialects, jOOQ simulates DATEADD(), TIMESTAMPADD(),
DATEDIFF(), TIMESTAMPDIFF().
For jOOQ's OLAP friends, there is now also support for the Oracle
LISTAGG function (LIST() in Sybase, XMLAGG() in DB2, STRING_AGG()
in Postgres, GROUP_CONCAT() in CUBRID, H2, HSQLDB, MySQL).
LISTAGG is an "ordered aggregate function", meaning that the
aggregation is done using a specific ordering. Keep an eye out
for more such function support in future versions.
------------------------#566 - Add support for INTERVAL data types
#585 - Add support for DATE, TIME and INTERVAL arithmetic
#1183 - Add support for DEFAULT values in Oracle stored procedure
parameters
#1243 - Let generated POJOs (and Records) extend base classes

and implement interfaces

function support as shortcuts for EXTRACT()
#1273 - Simulate GROUP_CONCAT() aggregate function using Oracle's
LISTAGG() function, where available
#1274 - Add support for the Oracle LISTAGG(...) WITHIN GROUP
(ORDER BY ..) [ OVER (..) ] aggregate / analytic function

LISTAGG() function
#1276 - Simulate Oracle's LISTAGG() in DB2 using XMLAGG(),
SUBSTR() and CONCAT()
#1278 - DEBUG log both executed SQL and SQL with inlined bind
values
---------------------------------#1262 - Pull up OracleFactory.prior() and other CONNECT BY
related methods to Factory
Bug fixes
--------#1241 - Wrong variable binding when comparing CHAR columns in
Derby and DB2 without explicit casting to VARCHAR
#1244 - Cannot override class name in GeneratorStrategy in
Mode.POJO
#1248 - Setting both <records>false</records> and

functions returning VARCHAR
#1263 - Pass fetchsizes <= 0 to the JDBC driver (for vendorspecific MySQL compatibility)
#1270 - Most databases allow for multiple identical foreign keys.
This leads to compilation errors in generated source code
Version 2.1.0 - March 18, 2012
================================================================================
With this version, jOOQ attempts to follow versioning rules
imposed by semantic versioning: http://semver.org/
There will be 1 minor release per month, and a couple of patch
releases per year, depending on popular demand
The main improvements for this release include
- The possibility of providing jOOQ with a custom type mapping.
You can now define your own Converter types that are used by
jOOQ to map a database's SQLDataTypes to your custom types.
This is particularly useful for Java's enums. Read more about
custom converters in the manual:
http://www.jooq.org/manual/ADVANCED/CustomTypes/
- There are a lot of new runtime configuration options to control
the SQL style of SQL rendered by jOOQ. You can now specify
whether table/column names should be quoted / capitalised /
lower-cased, whether SQL keywords should be capitalised or not,
etc...
- The handling of NULL has been improved in favour of using jOOQ
as a SQL builder library (e.g. along with Spring for execution)
NULL is no longer inlined, but bound as a variable.
- jOOQ now supports simulation of the relational division
operation using an intuitive syntax. Read more about the
relational division here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_algebra#Division
------------------------#161 - Add runtime configuration to pretty print rendered SQL
#349 - Add SQLite relations support

#1207 - Add Factory.batch(Collection<? extends Query>) for
convenience
#1208 - Render @javax.persistence.Column(nullable = false)
property, if available
#1209 - Render @javax.persistence.Column(length, precision,
scale) properties, if available
#1215 - Add org.jooq.Converter<T, U> for custom type mapping

#1237 - Don't generate enum classes for columns in MySQL tables
that are excluded from code generation
================================================================================
This release finally introduced basic runtime configuration
features for the jOOQ Factory. This configuration now includes:
- Execute listener and SQL tracing support. jOOQ allows you to
hook your own listeners into jOOQ's query execution engine to
be notified of all sorts of events
- The existing SchemaMapping features. They are now part of the
runtime configuration
- StatementType settings. Specify whether a Factory should
execute java.sql.PreparedStatements (with bind variables) or
static java.sql.Statements with inlined variables.
The runtime configuration is documented here:
http://www.jooq.org/manual/JOOQ/Factory/
The listener and tracing support has been requested by
Christopher Deckers, a new jOOQ user who has had the courtesy to
contribute the new jOOQ Console, which is documented here:
http://www.jooq.org/manual/ADVANCED/ExecuteListener/
Apart from that, another long-requested feature is now fully

implemented: The GeneratorStrategy, allowing for custom naming
strategies in generated source code. This will allow for
generating custom table / record class name prefixes / suffixes,
as well as overriding the default behaviour for rendering UPPER,
lower and CamelCase artefacts. See the manual for details:
http://www.jooq.org/manual/META/Configuration/
------------------------#93 - Add Field.equalIgnoreCase(), Field.notEqualIgnoreCase()
#408 - Add class prefixes, suffixes and other options to the
code generator

should be inlined (as a convenience for
Factory.renderInlined(QueryPart))
#1148 - Add Cursor.resultSet() to expose the underlying ResultSet
#1149 - Allow for optional
"http://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-codegen-2.0.4.xsd"

when Schema is mapped with SchemaMapping

#1153 - Bad inlining of booleans in Sybase ASE / DB2 / Oracle
SQL Server / SQLite
#1154 - Bad inlining of byte[] in most dialects
#1155 - byte[] are erroneously converted to String when using
Record.intoArray()
#1156 - Bad inlining of DATE / TIME / TIMESTAMP data types in

#1168 - Oracle packages are generated as static, instead of
static final
#1175 - Factory.use() seems to render SQL with the Schema name
still present
#1179 - Oracle-generated ArrayRecords need a reference to
org.jooq.Schema to read TABLE of OBJECT from stored
procedures
Test cases
---------#1147 - Add integration tests for executing SQL generated using
Factory.renderInlined()
================================================================================
This release introduced many improvements to source code
generation. These improvements include:
- Maven and standalone code generation now use the same XML
configuration, which is read by jOOQ-codegen using JAXB. This
allows for more complex configuration elements in the future
- jOOQ-codegen can now handle multi-schema databases and generate
code for tables referencing tables from other schemata. This
is integration tested against the SQL Server AdventureWorks
database
- jOOQ now allows to generate simple POJOs in addition to Records
and to annotate both POJOs and Records with JPA annotations
such as @Entity, @Table, @Id, @Column, @UniqueConstraint, etc.
You can migrate your existing .properties configuration by running
> org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /your.properties migrate
Besides that, there is a lot of ongoing work to improve the
integration of Oracle's TABLE and VARRAY types.

Version 2.0.3 - January 29, 2012
================================================================================
This release focuses on increased compatibility between various
SQL dialect integrations as far as ARRAY and JOIN support is

concerned:
- ARRAY types are only available in H2, HSQLDB, Oracle, Postgres.
Nevertheless, they can be somewhat simulated in other dialects
using nested selects with UNION ALL. Increased compatibility
leads to a nicer API, where ARRAYs are used along with ALL/ANY
quantifiers, for instance.
- JOIN syntaxes can be quite powerful in SQL. Apart from
simulating NATURAL JOIN, JOIN USING clauses, as well as a
synthetic "KEY JOIN" syntax, jOOQ now also supports nesting
JOIN expressions to create more complex table sources. See a
recent blog post on the subject here:
http://blog.jooq.org/2012/01/15/lets-revise-the-sql-from-clause/
------------------------#578 - Add KEY JOIN syntax to simulate joining using generated
foreign keys
#577 - Simulate NATURAL JOIN syntax, where this is unavailable
#582 - Simulate JOIN USING syntax, where this is unavailable
#671 - Allow for nesting JOIN clauses
#676 - Add Table.join() methods to create more flexible table
sources
#993 - Add Field.equalAny(T[]), .equalAny(Field<T[]>) methods
#1048 - Simulate <op> <quantifier> (array) syntax for dialects
that do not support arrays
#1051 - Add Factory.execute(String, Object...) as a convenience
method for Factory.query(...).execute()
#1055 - Simulate Factory.table(Object[]) and table(List<?>) using
UNION ALL in dialects that do not support arrays
#1060 - Improve debug logging of H2 arrays. The syntax is not
ARRAY[1, 2], but (1, 2)
#1065 - Add OracleFactory.sysContext(String, String) to support
Oracle's SYS_CONTEXT function
#1069 - Add support for INSERT INTO table(field1, field2, ...)
SELECT syntax - as opposed to the existing INSERT INTO
table SELECT
#1072 - Add support for LIKE .. ESCAPE .. syntax
#1074 - Add Field.notBetween(T, T) for convenience
#1080 - Add support for JDBC's Statement.setFetchSize() in
ResultQuery.fetchLazy()
#1082 - Add some more DEBUG logging in AbstractResultQuery
---------------------------------#1059 - Change SelectFromStep.from(Collection<TableLike<?>>) to
from(Collection<? extends TableLike<?>>)
-----------------------------------#1087 - Change the NTILE function to return Field<Integer>
instead of Field<BigDecimal>
Bug fixes
--------#1071 - Make Sequence Serializable
#1081 - Derby error in NULL handling when simulating unnested
arrays that contain NULL values

#1084 - Bind index mismatch in val(null).equal(null) and in
val(null).notEqual(null)
#1091 - Add missing @Support annotations on Table.crossJoin()
methods
Test cases
---------#1026 - Add integration tests for NTILE window function and
document compatibility
#1073 - Add integration tests for NOT IN queries holding NULL
arguments
================================================================================
This is a maintenance release for jOOQ 2.0. The main improvements
include
- The whole jOOQ API is now annotated with a new org.jooq.Support
annotation to help you assess whether a certain SQL clause is
available in your database or not. This is particularly useful
when your application should support several databases at once
(e.g. MySQL, Postgres, Oracle)
- The Oracle PIVOT clause is now formally supported for advanced
statistical queries in Oracle. This clause will be simulated in
other dialects in the future.
- The DATE data type can be mapped to TIMESTAMP. This important
when you query a legacy Oracle database, where DATE columns
can also contain time information
- Several convenience methods have been added for more fluent
syntax, when using plain SQL result queries, subqueries as
tables, or when unnesting arrays in ANY() and ALL() quantifiers
Further type mapping support is still experimental. An official
cooperation with MinuteProject for source code generation is
being analysed. With MinuteProject, many source code generation
issues could be addressed centrally, as MinuteProject specialises
in source code generation:
http://minuteproject.wikispaces.com/
------------------------#595 - Add support for Oracle's PIVOT clause
#869 - Add support for using ANY, ALL with arrays, not just with
subselects
#1007 - Formally document the API methods to indicate whether
something is supported by any given SQL dialect
#1011 - Add code generation configuration parameter to avoid
generating @Generated annotation
#1019 - Render LIMIT x OFFSET y also for MySQL, instead of
LIMIT y, x
#1022 - Add missing Sybase ASE implementation for Factory.use()
#1024 - Add Factory.resultQuery(String, Object...) to allow for
arbitrary execution modes of plain SQL queries (lazy,
later, into, array, etc)
#1025 - Add missing SQLite implementation for Factory.deg() and
Factory.rad()
#1033 - Generate table comments into generated Tables.java as
Javadoc
#1040 - Add Object[][] Result.intoArray() and
Object[] Record.intoArray() for convenience. Let
<E> E Record.into(Class<E>) also support array types.
#1041 - Add <R> Table<R> Factory.table(Select<R>) convenience
method for more fluency
#1042 - Add support for DISTINCT keyword in SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX
aggregate functions
#1046 - Generate Ingres table and column comments in generated
source code (only Ingres 10)
---------------------------------#1050 - Deprecate usage of SOME quantifier in predicates, such as
equalSome()
-----------------------------------#1036 - Fixed API typo in
WindowsRowsStep.rowsBetweenUnboundedFollwing()
#1037 - The fluent API allows for JOIN clauses without FROM
clause
Bug fixes
--------#1010 - The MERGE INTO .. WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT .. syntax
may cause type-safety issues in some databases. VALUES
should be converted before binding
#1014 - FindBugs: Latent risk of infinite recursion due to typo
in QueryPartList.retainAll();
#1015 - FindBugs: 7 occurrences of "Bad attempt to compute
absolute value of signed 32-bit hashcode". In extreme
cases, this could lead to SQL syntax errors
#1016 - The Oracle CONNECT BY cond1 AND cond2 syntax erroneously
creates a WHERE cond2 CONNECT BY cond1 statement
#1028 - Syntax errors when using untyped param() in HSQLDB (and
other strongly typed dialects)
#1029 - Postgres can't bind NULL values in cases, where bind type
is Object.class and bind value was created with
Factory.param()
#1030 - UnsupportedOperationException when calling
Query.bind(int, Object) on a query containing plain SQL
fields
#1031 - Incorrect debug logging when plain SQL QueryParts like
field("?") bind null values
#1032 - Incorrect debug logging when plain SQL QueryParts contain
String literals, such as 'Hello? Anyobody out there?'
#1047 - Field.notEqualAny() erroneously renders <> ALL()
Test cases
---------#1021 - Add explicit integration tests for
LEFT|RIGHT|FULL OUTER JOIN
Version 2.0.1 - December 23, 2011
================================================================================
This is a maintenance release for jOOQ 2.0. The main improvements
include
- Better integration for using jOOQ with Spring Data. This

includes support for named parameters, as well as allowing to
change bind values on previously constructed Query objects
- The MERGE statement has been enhanced for better integration
with Oracle.
- jOOQ is now ready to use with Scala / Groovy
For more information about using jOOQ with Scala, see this blog
post:
http://blog.jooq.org/2011/12/11/the-ultimate-sql-dsl-jooq-in-scala/
There is now also experimental support for a custom type mapping.
This mapping allows to rewrite data types at code generation time
as well as to specify custom enum data types (e.g. boolean Y/N).
Not all integration tests run smoothly for custom data types,
hence, this feature is not yet fully supported.
------------------------#691 - Add support for Oracle CURSOR REF IN / INOUT parameters
#677 - Add type-mapping configuration, enforcing types for
columns
#947 - Add custom type mapping support (experimental)
#968 - Allow for custom enum types, configured in the code
generator (experimental)
#974 - Add Schema.getTable(String), getSequence(String),
getUDT(String) for better runtime Schema meta-navigation
#975 - Add Sequence.getName(), getSchema(), getDataType()
#980 - Add support for named parameters, to better interact with
Spring
#991 - Add Query.bind(String, Object) and bind(int, Object) to
easily modify existing bind values
#992 - Document thrown DataTypeException in Convert methods
#998 - Enhance MERGE statement for Oracle extensions:
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE .. WHERE .. DELETE WHERE ..
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT .. WHERE ..
#1000 - Add support for MySQL's INSERT INTO .. SET .. syntax in
MERGE statement's WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT clause
---------------------------------#981 - Cannot insertInto(table("my_table")), as plain SQL tables
return Table<Record>, not Table<TableRecord>. Relax
bound on R
#988 - Change Factory.field(String) to return Field<Object>
instead of Field<?>
#999 - Make MERGE's WHEN MATCHED .. and WHEN NOT MATCHED ..
clauses optional
#1001 - Identity.getField() should return TableField<R, T>
instead of Field<T>
#1006 - Add Factory.value(...) as a synonym for Factory.val(...)
for increased Scala / Groovy compatibility
Bug fixes
--------#973 - EnumType renders name() instead of getLiteral() in
formatXXX() methods
#977 - EnumType renders name() instead of getLiteral() in
Convert.convert() method
#979 - Record.from() sets all changed flags to true. That's not
#985 #986 #990 #995 #1002 #1003 #1005 -
necessarily correct in the event of storing the record

back to the DB
AbstractRecord.equals() does not correctly compare
arrays. Compare them using Arrays.asList()
Postgres / DB2 / Sybase ASE foreign-key namespace is
unique-per-table. jOOQ forces all foreign keys from all
tables into the same namespace
Problems when encoding arbitrary byte[] as String(byte[])
in inlined SQL. This can cause issues when DEBUG-level
logging is activated
Routines don't respect SchemaMapping - Github issue #8
TableRecord.storeUsing() doesn't update IDENTITY column
values, if the column is not part of the main unique key
Sybase / SQL Server / MySQL / Ingres / H2 / Derby's
INSERT .. RETURNING simulation returns null if a table
has an IDENTITY column, but no primary/unique key
The INSERT INTO .. VALUES .. syntax may cause type-safety
issues in some databases. VALUES should be converted
before binding
Test cases
---------#984 - Detach IDENTITY column tests from UNIQUE KEY tests,
create a dedicated test suite instead
Version 2.0.0 - November 25, 2011
================================================================================
This release is a fresh start in many areas of jOOQ, adressing
issues that have been requested by users for a long time. These
release notes docment the most important changes, a detailed
upgrade guide, as well as the detailed list of improvements.
Most important changes
---------------------- The API became more static. This applies to many Factory
methods, such as val(), literal(), as well as to many Field
methods that have been moved over to the Factory. For example,
when before, you wrote this using "postfix function notation":
<pre>NAME.replace(" ", "_").trim()</pre>
you will now write (just as in SQL):
<pre>trim(replace(NAME, " ", "_"))</pre>
Using static imports of Factory.*, jOOQ makes SQL look even
more like SQL. The current "postfix notation" is maintained for
backwards compatibility.
- By default, jooq-codegen will now generate a "dynamic" meta
model as opposed to the existing static one. Generated tables
covariantly override the as(String) aliasing method, leading
to a much more convenient aliasing style. When before, you
wrote:
<pre>
Table<TRecord> parent = T.as("parent");
Table<TRecord> child = T.as("child");
Condition join =
parent.getField("ID").equal(child.getField("PARENT_ID"))
</pre>
You can now write:

<pre>
T parent = T.as("parent");
T child = T.as("child");
Condition join = parent.ID.equal(child.PARENT_ID)
</pre>
Of course, the existing notation still works
- Exceptions are no longer checked. When previously, the DB's
SQLException was propagated to client code, there is now an
unchecked DataAccessException hierarchy, similar to that of
Spring. This will eventually give way to a standardised error
handling abstraction, in future developments.
- Window functions are now constructed from their underlying
aggregate functions just like in SQL. For example:
<pre>
sum(AMOUNT)
sum(AMOUNT).over().partitionBy(ACCOUNT)
</pre>
This makes for a more concise API, especially when considering
future extensions, such as Oracle's KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST...)
syntax.
- More type safety has been introduced regarding various places
where generic <R extends Record> and <T> types are involved.
This is especially true for INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE statements
- Sequences now also have a <T> type
- Unsigned number types are now supported in those databases that
use them. Unsigned numbers are implemented in jOOU, a spin-off
open source project. For convenience, this library is
"internalised" into jOOQ, to avoid adding a dependency
http://code.google.com/p/joou/
Upgrade instructions:
--------------------Various of the above changes are incompatible with jOOQ 1.x. In
order to upgrade, please be aware of the following pitfalls:
- The schema needs to be re-generated.
- Much of the post-fix function notation is replaced by static
methods in the Factory. Today's org.jooq.Field API is
maintained in jOOQ 2.0, for backwards compatibility. It will
be removed, eventually, though. Expect some incompatible
changes, where window functions are involved
- Some Factory instance methods (such as val(), literal()) are
now static. They are compatible, but may cause compiler
warnings.
- The meta model is now an instance model by default. If you
prefer the static meta model, you can configure this in your
jooq-codegen configuration.
- The additional typesafety involving <R> and <T> types may cause
compiler warnings and errors.
- SQLException is no longer part of the API. This can cause
compiler issues, in particular when extending jOOQ
- Some utility classes have moved to org.jooq.tools
Should these incompatibilities be too significant for your

project, you can still stay on the 1.x branch, which will be
maintained for a while. Be aware that upgrading might be more
difficult, later, though.

Bug fixes
--------#925 - SelectConditionStep should extend SelectConnectByStep, not
SelectGroupByStep
#926 - AbstractRecord.into() fails to convert java.sql.Date into
java.util.Date
#937 - In the event of name clash (same name for table and field)

argument causes the changed flag to be reset to false
#948 - Always set the changed flag to true in Record.setValue()
#951 - Empty Password for jooq-codegen-maven causes NPE
================================================================================
This is a maintenance release for the 1.x branch. Developments
on this branch will stop after version 1.6.9. Only important bug
fixes are merged to this branch. Developments for release 2.0
have started.
The most important functionality in release 1.6.9 is the newly
added support for JDBC batch operations. You can now batch
execute several queries.
See the official blog for more information:
http://blog.jooq.org/2011/10/25/jdbc-batch-operations-with-jooq/
------------------------#621 - Add support for JDBC batch operations
#794 - Add support for ORDER BY [int value] in order to reference
a column index for sorting
#882 - Optimise Field.isTrue() and isFalse(). Take Field's data
type into consideration.
#885 - Add support for INSERT INTO .. VALUES (..) syntax,
omitting explicit field declarations
#887 - Add <E> List<E> Cursor.fetchInto(Class<E>)
Bug fixes
--------#748 - H2 regression in 1.3.158 regarding stored functions, which
return a ResultSet (this was fixed in H2)
#859 - Derby casting of numeric types to BOOLEAN doesn't work
#886 - Regression in date extract function when used in a
subselect
#888 - Derby casting of VARCHAR to FLOAT (and similar) doesn't
work
================================================================================
The main improvement of this release is the re-design of the
stored procedure / function API. With 12 supported RDBMS, which
all have their own idea about what is a stored procedure and what
is a stored function, it has proven to be a better design, to
unite them in one single type: org.jooq.Routine. A routine can
have a return value as well as OUT parameters. It can be embedded
in SQL and used as a field or a table.
This means, you will need to re-generate your database schema,
when upgrading to jOOQ 1.6.8. After re-generation, you'll need to
fix your client code. These are the package changes:
-
[generated.package].procedures
[generated.package].functions
[generated.package].Procedures
[generated.package].Functions
>
>
>
>
[generated.package].routines
[generated.package].routines
[generated.package].Routines
[generated.package].Routines
Oracle generated packages are not re-located. With these

improvements, using stored procedures and functions becomes even
more reliable, especially when cursor types are involved. Read
more about the rationale behind this change:
http://blog.jooq.org/2011/10/17/what-are-procedures-and-functions-after-all/
Apart from that, important improvements have been made in the
area of plain SQL tables. Also, consider a demo integration of
jOOQ with Google Cloud SQL:
http://blog.jooq.org/2011/10/22/jooq-and-google-cloud-sql-example/
------------------------#271 - Don't pre-fetch table meta data when selecting from plain

to prevent issues with transactions
#847 - Query.getSQL() doesn't render dialect-specific SQL when
Query is constructed using the fluent API
#853 - DB2 generated convenience methods for stored functions
have unstable ordering
#857 - Derby casting of numeric types to String / VARCHAR does
not work
#858 - SQLDataType.getSQLDataType() should return itself, instead
of null
#860 - SQLite CEIL function is incorrectly simulated. CEIL(2.0)
returns 3.0 instead of 2.0
#861 - Field.replace(String) generates bad SQL for various RDBMS.
Field.replace(String, String) works, though
#863 - Ingres integration generates illegal SQL when selecting
things like SELECT 1 WHERE 1 = 1
#866 - Sybase ASE Field.replace(String) function incorrectly

Version 1.6.7 - September 25, 2011
================================================================================
This release coincides with the launch of the new website at
http://www.jooq.org. Hence, it ships with little additions to the
deliverable itself.
Apart from new convenience methods, the main addition is a Maven
plugin for jooq-codegen contributed by Sander Plas.

------------------------#797 - Create Maven plugin for source code generation
#825 - Add List<Result<Record>> Factory.fetchMany(String) to
allow for fetching several result sets from stored
procedures, such as Sybase ASE's "sp_help"
#838 - Implement MetaDataFieldProvider.toString()
#841 - Add <T> List<T> Result.getValues(Field<?>, Class<T>)
#842 - Add Query.getBindValues() method to allow for extracting
bind values in the correct order
#843 - Add Factory.fetch(ResultSet) to transform a JDBC ResultSet
into a jOOQ Result
---------------------------------#837 - Avoid final keyword on Object methods, such as .equals(),
.hashCode(), etc
Bug fixes
--------#836 - Bad syntax when selecting from aliased plain SQL tables
#839 - Boolean conversion in getValueAsBoolean() should trim
String values first
#840 - Numeric conversions in getValueAsXXX() should trim String
values first
#844 - NullPointerException when selecting a column from a Result,
that does not exist
Version 1.6.6 - September 11, 2011
================================================================================
Finally, support for another RDBMS has been added. Sybase's other
important product Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (or simply
Sybase ASE) is now officially supported by jOOQ
Apart from this, there had been important improvements with the
recently added INSERT .. RETURNING clause, as well as some fixes
related to DECIMAL / NUMERIC data types
------------------------#796 - Complete missing public org.jooq.impl Javadoc

Anywhere using SELECT @@identity
#810 - Add support for INSERT .. RETURNING for SQLite using
last_inserted_rowid()
#813 - Add DSL support for INSERT .. RETURNING
#814 - Change TableRecord to reload its trigger-initialised main
key in Oracle and other RDBMS that don't support IDENTITY
columns

API changes (previous API now deprecated)
----------------------------------------#817 - Deprecate Factory.lastID(Identity)
Bug fixes
--------#815 - SQL Server fetching of IDENTITY value is broken
#821 - Optimise ResultQuery.fetchAny() executing fetchLazy()
internally, and only fetching one record from the cursor
#822 - Let Constant cast to more precise NUMERIC/DECIMAL types
in those RDBMS where casting is necessary
#823 - Cannot bind SQLite BigDecimal, BigInteger types - bind
them as String instead
#824 - BigInteger values cannot be bound in DB2, Derby

================================================================================
This release finally adds a loader for CSV data to jOOQ. You can
now load CSV data using a simple fluent API, configuring error
handling, duplicate behaviour and transaction handling, as well
as various CSV parameters.
This release also changes the way generated keys are retrieved
after INSERT's. Instead of (potentially inconsistently) running
SELECT MAX(pk) immediately after the INSERT, Postgres' INSERT..
RETURNING clause is used (or simulated), in a single statement.
------------------------#784 - Add Result.exportXML() to retrieve a DOM document similar
to that of .formatXML()
#792 - Add support for loading of CSV data into tables
#795 - Add <T> List<T> fetch(int, Class<T>) and
fetch(String, Class<T>) convenience methods
#803 - Add support for INSERT .. RETURNING or simulate it where
not available
#805 - Add <T> T[] fetchArray(int, Class<T>) and
fetchArray(String, Class<T>) convenience methods
#806 - Add <T> T fetchOne(int, Class<T>) and
fetchOne(String, Class<T>) convenience methods
Bug fixes
--------#798 - Oracle IN (...) clause with more than 1000 arguments does
not work
#802 - Use "INSERT .. RETURNING" instead of "SELECT MAX(pk)"
to retrieve the primary key of a new record
================================================================================
This release ships with a couple of useful concepts inspired by
other frameworks. These are:
- selecting into custom POJO's. Results can be mapped to POJO's

by convention or using JPA @Column annotations
- selecting into custom callbacks. This is already a wide-spread
practice in Spring JdbcTemplates.
- selecting long-running queries asynchronously. This idea has
been inspired by the Avaje Ebean framework
Apart from these changes and some bugfixes, the internal API has
been completely re-designed. The idea here is that query
rendering and variable binding are even faster (less String
objects), more extensible and more accurate. This is a prerequisite for many future developments with even more complex SQL
statements, such as for instance CTE's (Common Table Expressions)
------------------------#137 - Add support for asynchronous query execution using
FutureResult<R> ResultQuery.fetchLater() similar to
Avaje Ebean
#198 - Add SELECT INTO functionality into POJO's using
<T> T ResultQuery.fetchInto(Class<T>) similar to JPA
CriteriaQuery
#728 - Add .fetchInto(RecordHandler<R>) to ResultQuery, Result,
and Cursor to allow for callbacks similar to Spring's
JdbcTemplate/Ollin Framework
#774 - Add more TRACE logging to .fetchLazy()
#777 - CURSOR: Add function alias: UNNEST for TABLE
#781 - Add E function (Euler number)
#782 - Add <T> T Record.getValue(..., Class<? extends T>) methods
for convenient type conversion
#785 - Allow for storing TableRecord with a provided Field<?>[]
indicating the primary key
#786 - Document thread-safety facts in Factory Javadoc
#788 - Add Key.getFieldsArray() convenience method
#793 - Add support for Oracle's SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH function
-----------------------------------#758 - Change internal QueryPart rendering and binding API to use
Configuration and Context as callback parameters. If you
use CustomField or CustomCondition, please correct your
implementations accordingly. Other parts of the API should
not be affected
#778 - Purge deprecated API, deprecation prior to jOOQ 1.5.7
#790 - Purge deprecated generated code, deprecation prior to
jOOQ 1.5.7
----------------------------------------#776 - Deprecate QueryPart.getSQL(), add Query.getSQL()
#789 - Deprecate Record constructors with Configuration
parameter
Test cases
---------#636 - Add integration tests for more advanced CONNECT BY
example
#772 - Add integration tests for selecting cartesian products
(several tables in FROM clause)
Bug fixes
--------#730 - Sybase cannot bind null values in plain SQL
#759 - Omit the TOP 100 PERCENT clause in SQL Server ordered
top-level queries
#767 - An empty Java package is generated for PL/SQL packages

when used with .fetchLazy()
#787 - The UpdatableRecord's internal changed flags are not
updated after INSERTs / UPDATEs
Version 1.6.3 - July 31, 2011
================================================================================
This is mainly a maintenance release with lots of bugfixes,
mostly around code generation, plain SQL tables, and data types.

Version 1.6.2 - July 10, 2011
================================================================================
This release mainly introduces three new projects.
Project CURSOR where jOOQ finally supports various RDBMS's TABLE,
CURSOR, and REF CURSOR data types. This is especially useful when
those types are returned from stored procedures and functions.
Cursors are simply mapped to jOOQ Result<Record> types and can
thus be used like regular table results
Project EXPORT aims at exporting data from the database in
various serialisable formats, such as XML, CSV, HTML, Text, JSON.
This project will be continued in the future, to also
deserialise from (some of) these data streams. This will allow
for easy transport of jOOQ Result<?> types over the net.
Project CODEGEN has finally been started. Many improvements
suggested by jOOQ users will be implemented in the next releases.
In this release, important fixes have been made to prevent
compilation errors in generated artefacts.
------------------------#61 - EXPORT: Add Result.formatXML()

other than NUMBER/INT
#655 - Add missing integration tests for TRIM function

#729 - DB2, Derby, Ingres, Oracle cannot bind null values in
plain SQL
Version 1.6.1 - June 19, 2011
================================================================================
In this release, the PORTABILITY project has been implemented.
Finally, the SQLDialect has been removed from most generated
artefacts (Schema, Table, Field, Sequence, etc). Also, the
constructing Factory is not referenced by its created QueryParts
anymore, unless this is really necessary (Query objects, UDT's,
ARRAY types). This leads to higher compatibility between schemata
of different databases, e.g. if users want to use an HSQLDB
development and Oracle productive database.
Unfortunately, this means that the way stored procedures are
called had to be changed. This is an API break that could not be
avoided. The pre-1.6.1 StoredObject.execute(Connection) method
is deprecated and will be removed in the future. It has been
replaced by StoredObject.execute(Configuration)
In addition to this project, many more window functions are now
supported, as well as the Oracle-specific CONNECT BY clause for
recursive queries.

================================================================================
Finally, jOOQ now supports two important new RDBMS:
SQL Server and Sybase!
Apart from this great enhancement, there is now also full support
for the non-SQL standard LIMIT clause, even in dialects where the
LIMIT clause is not supported natively (especially Oracle, but
also DB2, SQL Server and Sybase, which have limitations). jOOQ
simulates LIMITs by rendering nested selects filtering on ROWNUM
(Oracle) or on ROW_NUMBER() (DB2, SQL Server and Sybase).
Other interesting additions are an increasing support for native
mathematical functions. More function support will be added in
future versions.
Features
-------#16 - Added support for SQL Server
#21 - Uniform implementation of the LIMIT clause. Implemented
LIMIT clause simulation through analytic functions, where
LIMIT is not supported natively

exponentials, sqrt)
#447 - Enhanced Field.add() and Field.subtract() to work for date
time fields, also
API changes
----------#428 - Created new Maven artefact jooq-meta to cleanly separate
database meta-data navigation from code generation
#458 - Decreased DSL verbosity for arithmetic operations and for
ordering
Bug fixes
--------#417 - Restored warning when unknown column type is encountered
in source code generation
#419 - Corrected misleading Select.fetchOne(...) Javadoc
#421 - Optimised AbstractRecord's memory consumption
#448 - Corrected some Javadoc @see links
#449 - Changed Field.concatenate() to accept Field<?> parameters
to avoid generic varargs warnings
================================================================================
This is the first release built with support of Maven thanks to
the help of some jOOQ users!
The main new features in this release are the improved support
for serialisation/deserialisation of jOOQ objects through use of
the newly introduced "Attachable" interface.
If using log4j or the newly supported slf4j logging framework
in debug/trace mode, there is the possibility to log query
building/execution time statistics.
Apart from these new features, fixes were mainly done in the
fields of type casting, HSQLDB 2.1 upgrade support, stored
procedures with OUT, IN/OUT parameters. Please upgrade, if you
are using any of those features.
If you extend jOOQ as a base implementation for source code
generation, be aware of the fact, that the jOOQ-codegen is
currently undergoing major changes. Expect the code generation
API to stabilise again in one of the next releases.
Features
-------#104 - Added maven dependency
#248 - Integrate UDT types with ARRAYs

#412 - limit(int) sets default offset incorrectly in some
dialects
================================================================================
This release consists mainly of code generation bug fixes and
minor API improvements and enhancements.
The most important improvement is ticket #90, by which lazy
fetching and iteration over data is now supported. jOOQ lets you
keep a reference to a Cursor that has an open JDBC ResultSet, to
fetch data from on-the-fly.
A few major code generation bugs were reported where the
generated code may cause ambiguity due to an inconsistent API.
This means that you will have to re-generate your schema after
upgrading to version 1.5.6. Some of your code may not compile
anymore, after this upgrade.
Features
-------#90 - Added possibility for lazy fetching of data
#208 - Added convenience methods for direct invocation of
sequences' currval() and nextval() attributes
#212 - Created one factory per dialect for better separation of
dialect-specific support
#213 - Generate a factory for each schema
#251 - Opened up base implementations for Field<?> and Condition

================================================================================
Feature #243 required a minor API change in the base classes of generated source
code. This means you have to re-generate all your jOOQ artifacts in order to
migrate to 1.5.4. The artifacts themselves should be regenerated in a compatible
way, such that your client code should not be affected. If this is not the case,
please report a ticket here:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/jooq/newticket
Apart from the Derby RDMBS and some new data type support, there have been many
new convenience methods added all over the API. For instance, if type-safety is
not really a requirement, there are lots of possibilities to use plain SQL
directly in the DSL. In that case, data can be accessed from Record, Results,
not only through Field<?>, but also through field names or indexes.
Check out the updated documentation (soon) here:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/jooq/wiki/Examples
- Support for the Derby RDBMS
- Support for casting. This allows for even greater flexibility
in cases where jOOQ cannot 100% ensure type-safety
- Support for ARRAY types. Oracle, Postgres, HSQLDB and H2 ARRAY
types are now supported natively as regular <T> bindings in
jOOQ's Field<T>
- Support for dialect-specific data types. CHAR, VARCHAR, CLOB
are no longer treated equally as java.lang.String. Their
type heritage is also generated
- More sequence support
- Lots and lots of bug fixes

fallback
API Changes
----------#156 - Allow for results to be accessed by index, not by field
