Faster development. Full flexibility¶

• Not a traditional ORM. You code your own SQL, because you're better at it than a generic code generator. This also allows you to hand tune any query, even after deployment if desired, and is often faster than configuring some obscure XML syntax.
• Named parameters in SQL
• Automatic resource handling. Never forget to close PreparedStatement, ResultSet, Connection, etc.
• Transparent retry of stale connections.
• Full freedom on class design. O/R Broker does not place any limitations on how you design your classes. No conventions to conform to. No classes to extend. No interfaces to implement. No annotations to apply. No restrictions whatsoever.
• Full support for JOIN queries, both one-to-one and one-to-many.
• No N+1 select problem and no transactionally inconsistent lazy loading
• Support for stored procedure calls.
• You write the query-to-object extractor code in Scala (or Java). No tired old XML mapping needed.
• SQL can be in code or, preferably, in simple text files, ready for editing and optimizing if needed.
• Dynamic SQL using Velocity or FreeMarker template engines. Both are supported, but neither are required.
• Dealing with new database schema, legacy schema, JavaBeans, or immutable classes? All possible, full flexibility.
