jOOQ Goes JavaOne™

We’re super excited to announce that our CEO and Head of R&D Lukas will be heading to San Francisco this fall to talk about jOOQ at JavaOne™! This is not just great for Data Geekery and jOOQ, but also for the whole Java / SQL ecosystem, as we believe that the Java / SQL integration deserves much more focus at conferences, where buzzwords like Big Data and NoSQL dominate the agenda disproportionally.
From our perspective, the JVM is the best platform for general purpose languages, whereas SQL is the best tool for database interaction – with Oracle SQL being a leader in the industry. So…
2014 will be a great year for Java and SQL
Prior to JavaOne™, we have also been talking at the awesome 33rd Degree and GeekOut conferences, the latter having been hosted by our friends over at ZeroTurnaround who have launched XRebel, a very promising tool to help you find rogue SQL statements in your application. Stay tuned as we’ll be trying out XRebel to compare jOOQ with Hibernate on our blog, soon.

Tweet of the Day
Our customers, users, and followers are sharing their love for jOOQ with the world and we can hardly catch up with them! Here are:
Alessio Harri, who is having a great time using OpenJPA (the workhorse) with jOOQ (the artist)
Loved the type safety of @JavaOOQ today. OpenJPA is the workhorse and @JavaOOQ is the artist :) #80/20—

The Vertabelo team over at e-point, who like using jOOQ as a database consumer for their SaaS, collaborative ERD tool.
Do you know @JavaOOQ? We like this concept. vertabelo.com/blog/jooq-a-re… #jOOQ #ORM—

Thanks for the shouts, guys! You make the jOOQ experience rock!
Upcoming License Improvements
From our recent negotiations with site license leads, we’ve come to two conclusions that will benefit all of the jOOQ Professional and jOOQ Enterprise customer base.
- When you buy a car or a TV, you probably don’t run to the supplier every time you encounter a small defect that prevents you from fully enjoying your product. You’ll fix it yourself. We want to do the same in the future. As we trust our customers, and as we already ship our sources, we will soon allow you to implement urgent fixes to jOOQ yourselves, as we believe that this will improve the jOOQ experience for everyone and add further value to your own experience.
- We understand the requirements of purchasing departments in large organisations. Often, it is easier to purchase a site license from a supplier rather than going through the hassles of adapting workstation-based subscriptions all the time. To respond to this need, we’ll soon publish a discounted, tiered pricing model for large-volume purchases of our perpetual licenses.
Both of these improvements will be deployed to all of our customer base in the beginning of July.
Do you already have any questions regarding what will change / improve? Do not hesitate to contact us.
Community Zone – The jOOQ aficionados have been active!
The jOOQ community has been very active again in the last month. We’re happy to point out these editor’s picks from our radar:
Vlad Mihalcea is a very active blogger on the subject of Hibernate integrations, transaction mangagement and connection pooling performance. We’re looking forward to his future blog posts about how to integrate ORMs with SQL/jOOQ, e.g. by applying emerging architecture patterns such as CQRS. One of his most recent, very interesting blog posts deals precisely with that subject.
Micha Kops has been blogging about a variety of Java tool integrations and has now published this comprehensive and very useful jOOQ tutorial. It is great to see fresh opinions from people just getting to know the platform and blogging about it.
SQL Zone – More common SQL mistakes
Our popular blog series “Top 10 mistakes Java developers make when writing SQL”has been enhanced with yet another must-read article for the Java/SQL community:
Did you know about all those common mistakes? We bet you didn’t. If you haven’t seen enough, see also our previous articles:

SQL Zone – Don’t roll your own OFFSET pagination emulation
One of the great reasons why you should use jOOQ is the fact that jOOQ abstracts away all the hard parts of your SQL dialect. If you’re using Oracle (prior to 12c), SQL Server (prior to 2012), or DB2, you might need to emulate what other databases know as OFFSET pagination. While most people get the simple use-cases right, we’ve tried to outline all of the other issues that may arise when you try to do it yourself in our blog post:
A must-read for all SQL transformation aficionados.
