Welcome to the world of ObjectiveSQL, an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that simplifies SQL programming in Java! ObjectiveSQL is built around the ActiveRecord pattern, encouraging rapid development with clean code through a convention-over-configuration approach. In this guide, we’ll delve into the key features, installation process, and how to implement it seamlessly in your Java projects.

Key Features of ObjectiveSQL

• Single annotation that provides full SQL programming capabilities for your class.
• Facilitates easy relational querying with options like has_one, has_many, and belongs_to.
• Allows you to write SQL expressions (arithmetic, comparison, and logical) using Java syntax.

Why Choose ObjectiveSQL?

If you are focused on data analysis based on relational databases with numerous arithmetic expressions, ObjectiveSQL offers a convenient and safe way to write expressions using Java syntax. Additionally, it eliminates the need for verbose database access code and configuration files through dynamic code generation, letting you focus on what truly matters in your application.

Installation

Setting up ObjectiveSQL is straightforward. Here’s how you can install it:

IntelliJ IDEA Plugin Installation

1. Go to Preferences.
2. Navigate to Settings – Plugins.
3. Search for ObjectiveSQL in the market.
4. Click Install.

Maven Dependencies

You can use the following dependencies based on your project type:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.braisdom</groupId>
    <artifactId>objective-sql</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.6</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.braisdom</groupId>
    <artifactId>objsql-springboot</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.4</version>
</dependency>

Refer to the pom.xml for further configuration.

Examples of Using ObjectiveSQL

ObjectiveSQL provides extensive examples for various databases, often available as unit tests. Here is a sneak peek at how you could use it:

Simple SQL Programming Without Coding

Define a JavaBean using annotations like so:

@DomainModel
public class Member {
    private String no;
    @Queryable
    private String name;
    private Integer gender;
    private String mobile;
    private String otherInfo;
    @Relation(relationType = RelationType.HAS_MANY)
    private List orders;
}

Persistence Operations

Member.create(newMember);
Member.create(new Member[]{newMember1, newMember2, newMember3}, false);
Member.update(1L, newMember, true);
Member.destroy(1L);

Counting and Querying

Member.countAll();
Member.queryByPrimaryKey(1);
Member.queryAll();

Paged Querying

Page page = Page.create(0, 10);
PagedList members = Member.pagedQueryAll(page, Member.HAS_MANY_ORDERS);

Complex SQL Programming

In ObjectiveSQL, you can express complex SQL queries in a way that feels natural for Java developers:

Order.Table orderTable = Order.asTable();
Select select = new Select();
select.project(sum(orderTable.amount)
                .sum(orderTable.quantity) * 100)
        .from(orderTable)
        .where(orderTable.quantity > 30
                .and(orderTable.salesAt.between("2020-10-10 00:00:00", "2020-10-30 23:59:59")))
        .groupBy(orderTable.productId);

Troubleshooting

While using ObjectiveSQL, you might encounter some hurdles. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:

• Make sure you have the correct Maven dependencies for your project configuration.
• If you face issues with annotations, ensure they are properly imported and being recognized in your IDE.
• For missing SQL exceptions, validate your SQL expressions and ensure they align with your database schema.
