iciql

Maven Central Maven Central

iciql is...

  • a model-based, database access wrapper for JDBC
  • for modest database schemas and basic statement generation
  • for those who want to write code, instead of SQL, using IDE completion and compile-time type-safety
  • small (<250KB with debug symbols) with no runtime dependencies
  • pronounced icicle (although it could be French: ici ql - here query language)
  • a friendly fork of the H2 JaQu project

iciql is not...

  • a complete alternative to JDBC
  • designed to compete with more powerful database query tools like jOOQ or QueryDSL
  • designed to compete with enterprise ORM tools like Hibernate or mybatis

Supported Databases (Unit-Tested)

Support for others is possible and may only require creating a simple "dialect" class.
