Generated tables
Supported by ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
                                        Every table and view in your database will generate a org.jooq.Table implementation that looks like this:
                                    
public class Book extends TableImpl<BookRecord> {
    // The singleton instance
    public static final Book BOOK = new Book();
    // Generated columns
    public final TableField<BookRecord, Integer> ID        = createField("ID",        INTEGER, this);
    public final TableField<BookRecord, Integer> AUTHOR_ID = createField("AUTHOR_ID", INTEGER, this);
    public final TableField<BookRecord, String>  TITLE     = createField("TITLE",     VARCHAR, this);
    // Covariant aliasing method, returning a table of the same type as BOOK
    @Override
    public Book as(java.lang.String alias) {
        return new Book(alias);
    }
    // [...]
}
Flags influencing generated tables
These flags from the code generation configuration influence generated tables:
- recordVersionFields: Relevant methods from super classes are overridden to return the VERSION field
- recordTimestampFields: Relevant methods from super classes are overridden to return the TIMESTAMP field
- syntheticPrimaryKeys: This overrides existing primary key information to allow for "custom" primary key column sets
- overridePrimaryKeys: This overrides existing primary key information to allow for unique key to primary key promotion
- dateAsTimestamp: This influences all relevant columns
- unsignedTypes: This influences all relevant columns
- relations: Relevant methods from super classes are overridden to provide primary key, unique key, foreign key and identity information
- instanceFields: This flag controls the "static" keyword on table columns, as well as aliasing convenience
- records: The generated record type is referenced from tables allowing for type-safe single-table record fetching
