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 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:

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 for details:

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:

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:

And our manual features a tutorial here:

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 possible to make this great tool rock even more!

Please take note of the fact that the sql2jooq library is Open Source, but it depends on the commercial gsp.jar parser, whose trial licensing terms can be seen here:

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:

Formal Spring integration support

Spring is one of the most popular frameworks to handle transactions, and it does so very well. With the help of our community, we've established new standards and examples of how to get started very quickly with jOOQ and Spring. See the following resources for 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. Read more about this strategy here:

https://blog.jooq.org/jooq-3-2-offering-commercial-licensing-and-support

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: https://blog.jooq.org/sql-query-transformation-fun-predicates-with-row-value-expressions

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

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 

  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)

In jOOQ, you can now (also typesafely!) write 

  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: ---------> ^^^^

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: ---------------> ^^^^

And for UNIONs 

  select(t1.a, t1.b).from(t1).union(select(t2.a, t2.b).from(t2));
  // Type-check here: -------------------> ^^^^^^^^^^

These type-checks are preformed by your Java compiler, considering the generic type information of your SQL statement's Record data types. These include:

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

Apart from this major improvement, there had been many minor changes throughout the jOOQ API. Here are some important ones:

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: https://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/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

Note, previous release candidates contained more features, improvements and bug fixes. See their respective sections for details.

#2410 Add some more API usage examples to the section about ResultSet fetching

Version 2.6.0 - October 26, 2012

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:

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 2.3.1 - May 11, 2012

This is an important patch release fixing some regressions in the code generator for the Postgres dialect. With 2.3.0, it was no longer possible to generate schemata of which the database user was not the owner.

Bug fixes

#1334 Fix inaccurate simulation of TRUNC(number, decimals) for Derby
#1403 Documentation bug: ctx.statement() can be replaced in executeStart(). This is not documented
#1406 Compilation errors in generated source code when Postgres stored procedure parameter is called "NAME"
#1407 Compilation errors in generated source code when Postgres data-type is "any" (with quotes!)
#1409 Postgres code generation broken when not connecting with the owner of a schema
 

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.

Version 2.2.1 - April 12, 2012

This is a minor patch release, fixing some issues related to the code generation of the new CUBRID integration as well as other, minor issues. Upgrade if you're using CUBRID

#1288 SQL syntax errors from sequences when using RenderMapping 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 for unknown, dialect-specific data types
 

Version 2.2.0 - April 09, 2012

Finally, jOOQ has added support for another database, and a very promising one, that is. https://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:

https://www.slideshare.net/cubrid/growing-in-the-wild-the-story-by-cubrid-database-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.

Features and improvements

#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
#1252 Avoid JDBC escape syntax for Oracle stored procedure calls. Generate PL/SQL syntax, instead
#1255 Let generated Tables contain a public default constructor to be able to extend those classes - Github issue #12
#1257 Add CUBRID support
#1268 Add Factory.field(String, QueryPart...) to generate custom clauses
#1269 Add YEAR(), MONTH(), DAY(), HOUR(), MINUTE(), SECOND() 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
#1275 Simulate Sybase LIST() aggregate function using Oracle's 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

API changes (backwards-compatible)

#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 <relations>true</relations> leads to compilation errors
#1256 Fixed code generation issue with H2 user defined functions returning VARCHAR
#1263 Pass fetchsizes <= 0 to the JDBC driver (for vendor- specific 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: https://semver.org/ There will be 1 minor release per month, and a couple of patch releases per year, depending on popular demand

Version 2.0.5 - February 26, 2012

This release finally introduced basic runtime configuration features for the jOOQ Factory. This configuration now includes:

The runtime configuration is documented here:

https://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:

https://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:

https://www.jooq.org/manual/META/Configuration/

Version 2.0.1 - December 23, 2011

This is a maintenance release for jOOQ 2.0. The main improvements include

For more information about using jOOQ with Scala, see this blog post: https://blog.jooq.org/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.

Features and improvements

#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

API changes (backwards-compatible)

#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 necessarily correct in the event of storing the record back to the DB
#985 AbstractRecord.equals() does not correctly compare arrays. Compare them using Arrays.asList()
#986 Postgres / DB2 / Sybase ASE foreign-key namespace is unique-per-table. jOOQ forces all foreign keys from all tables into the same namespace
#990 Problems when encoding arbitrary byte[] as String(byte[]) in inlined SQL. This can cause issues when DEBUG-level logging is activated
#995 Routines don't respect SchemaMapping - Github issue #8
#1002 TableRecord.storeUsing() doesn't update IDENTITY column values, if the column is not part of the main unique key
#1003 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
#1005 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

you will now write (just as in SQL): 

trim(replace(NAME, " ", "_"))

Using static imports of Factory.*, jOOQ makes SQL look even more like SQL. The current "postfix notation" is maintained for backwards compatibility. 

Table<TRecord> parent = T.as("parent");
Table<TRecord> child  = T.as("child");
Condition join =
  parent.getField("ID").equal(child.getField("PARENT_ID"))

You can now write: 

T parent = T.as("parent");
T child  = T.as("child");
Condition join = parent.ID.equal(child.PARENT_ID)

Of course, the existing notation still works 

sum(AMOUNT)
sum(AMOUNT).over().partitionBy(ACCOUNT)

This makes for a more concise API, especially when considering future extensions, such as Oracle's KEEP (DENSE_RANK FIRST...) syntax.

Upgrade instructions:

Various of the above changes are incompatible with jOOQ 1.x. In order to upgrade, please be aware of the following pitfalls:

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.

Version 1.6.9 - November 7, 2011

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: https://blog.jooq.org/jdbc-batch-operations-with-jooq/

Features and improvements

#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.

#886 Regression in date extract function when used in a subselect
#888 Derby casting of VARCHAR to FLOAT (and similar) doesn't work
 

Version 1.6.8 - October 22, 2011

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:

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:

https://blog.jooq.org/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:

https://blog.jooq.org/jooq-and-google-cloud-sql-example/

Features and improvements

#271 Don't pre-fetch table meta data when selecting from plain SQL tables
#489 Add support for SELECT * (i.e. render SELECT * where applicable)
#596 Add support for VARIANCE() and STDDEV() OVER() window functions
#608 Add jOOQ version number in generated source code
#670 Add more Javadoc to Field.xxx() functions
#692 Add support for ResultSet type returned from HSQLDB stored functions
#850 Use https://www.jooq.org as URL for the @Generated annotation
#854 Add convenience methods Fields.isTrue(), isFalse() for conversion of "Y", "YES", "1", "true", "on", etc into a boolean condition
#870 Add support for MEDIAN aggregate function
#872 Add support for STDDEV_POP(), STDDEV_SAMP(), VAR_POP(), VAR_SAMP() aggregate functions
#874 Reduce the number of internal classes for dialect-specific function aliases
#878 Implement DataType.equals() and hashCode()

API changes (backwards-compatible)

#851 Change Field.{sortAsc|sortDesc}(List<T> sortList) into Field.{sortAsc|sortDesc}(Collection<T> sortList)

API changes (backwards-incompatible)

#848 Purge deprecated API - Prior to 1.6.1
#849 Replace Cursor.fetchResult() by Cursor.fetch()
#852 Review stored procedures / functions concept. Merge them all into a single "Routine" type

Bug fixes

#756 Error when aliasing HSQLDB and Postgres unnested tables
#761 Exception when TRACE logging execution with plain SQL tables involved
#773 Execute standalone stored functions as CallableStatement 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 removes the argument string
#873 Error when selecting two times the same aggregate field
#877 Compilation error in generated source code when a table without a primary key has an identity column
#879 Add Google Cloud SQL Example
#880 Query.getSQL() does not consider SchemaMapping

Test cases

#811 Loader integration tests fail for SQLite
#812 CSV Loader test leaves Postgres JDBC connection in an inconsistent transactional state on error
#856 Add integration tests for Field.abs()
#865 Add integration tests for Field.ascii()
#867 Add integration tests for Field.sum(), avg(), max(), min()
#881 Re-design H2 stored functions to be pre-compiled, in order to speed up integration tests
 

Version 1.6.7 - September 25, 2011

This release coincides with the launch of the new website at https://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.

Features and improvements

#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

API changes (backwards-compatible)

#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

Features and improvements

#796 Complete missing public org.jooq.impl Javadoc
#800 Add support for Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise
#808 Add support for INSERT .. RETURNING for Ingres
#809 Add support for INSERT .. RETURNING for Sybase SQL 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
#818 Add SQLiteFactory.rowid()
#819 Support SQLite AUTOINCREMENT columns as IDENTITY
#820 Add Factory.fetchOne(String) for executing plain SQL queries that return single records
#826 Allow for returning several records in the INSERT .. RETURNING clause. This now works for DB2, HSQLDB, MySQL, and Postgres
#827 Support Sybase SQL Anywhere's TOP n START AT m clause instead of simulating it with nested SELECT's

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
#828 Document inefficient implementation for GREATEST and LEAST in some RDBMS
 

Version 1.6.5 - August 28, 2011

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.

Features and improvements

#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
 

Version 1.6.4 - August 07, 2011

This release ships with a couple of useful concepts inspired by other frameworks. These are:

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 pre- requisite for many future developments with even more complex SQL statements, such as for instance CTE's (Common Table Expressions)

Features and improvements

#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

API changes (backwards-incompatible)

#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

API changes (previous API now deprecated)

#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 containing underscores
#771 Some exotic literals are not properly escaped with quotes yet, e.g. UDT identifiers, VARRAY types, etc.
#775 Automatic re-attaching after deserialisation does not work 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. Please note that generated source code may contain incompatible changes due to #639 (see below for details)!

Apart from that, project CURSOR is advancing and it is now possible to unnest arrays into tables. See this article for details about where jOOQ is heading with project CURSOR:

https://blog.jooq.org/the-power-of-ref-cursor-types/

#753 Postgres error when binding array that contains null values
#755 NullPointerException when converting an array containing a null value
#766 Bad decoding of JDBC Types BIGINT (to BigInteger instead of Long) and REAL (to BigDecimal instead of Float) when plain SQL tables are involved
 

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.

Features and improvements

#61 EXPORT: Add Result.formatXML()
#166 CURSOR: Add support for ResultSet type returned from Oracle stored procedures / functions
#411 Allow for fetching Map<String, Object> (instead of Record) and List<Map<String, Object>> (instead of Result)

#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.

Features

#351 Add support for Oracle ROWID data type
#452 PORTABILITY: Create a super-set of RDBMS data types
#453 PORTABILITY: Don't create dialect-specific QueryParts

Version 1.5.8 - April 29, 2011

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
#97 Added support for Sybase
#418 Measure time of various steps in source code generation

#438 Added floor and ceil functions
#439 Added support for mathematical functions (logarithms, 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
 

Version 1.5.7 - April 17, 2011

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
#295 Allow for attaching/detaching UpdatableRecords to/from Configurations
#359 Added statistics measurement to Query execution for debug log level
#362 Added deprecation configuration flag

Version 1.5.6 - March 31, 2011

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

#328 Improved configuration setup documentation page
#333 Let Result implement Serializable
#334 Added fetchMap() convenience methods
#335 Added more functions and aggregate functions examples to documentation
#338 Visually improve code generation logging
#339 Removed skipping of unreferenced UDT's, ENUM's and ARRAY's
#342 Improved generated referential code by using fetch() and fetchOne() API
#356 Let UpdatableRecord.store() and delete() return an int to indicate whether the record was actually modified

API changes

#233 Allow for joining TableLike instead of Table
#337 Added generic type <R extends TableRecord<R>> to InsertSelectQuery
#341 Fixed API flaw where SelectOnConditionStep.and() methods and similar ones returned SelectConditionStep, instead of SelectOnConditionStep

#121 Covered more Factory.executeXXX() methods with integration tests
#318 Fixed NullPointerException when executing SELECT * from aliased tables

Features

#302 Map Oracle's NUMBER data type to java.lang.Number in stored procedures, stored functions

Bugfixes

#317 StoredFunctionImpl.asField() renders parameters in wrong order
 

Version 1.5.5.1 - March 13, 2011

In version 1.5.5, there was a fatal bug breaking Derby source code generation. Only the Derby dialect is affected. Please update immediately, if you are using jOOQ's Derby integration

Bugfixes

#315 Generated master data records are not sorted by PK
#316 Derby code generation fatally broken
 

Version 1.5.5 - March 12, 2011

#313 Fixed Derby cast type for VARCHAR
#304 Let the DerbyDataType default for java.lang.String be VARCHAR, not LONG VARCHAR
 

Version 1.5.4 - March 04, 2011

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:
