Configuration
Configuration of Db and DbOom frameworks is set in
DbOom.There are two things to remember when talking about Db configuration.
- 1.Configure first! Try to configure before use or registerentities. That would significantly reduce number of errors.
- 2.Be aware of JDBC driver varieties! JDBC drivers behavedifferently. Some have implemented most of the specified methods andprovides enough meta-data, others omit some informations. Therefore,be patient and learn what your database driver can do; and configureDbOom accordingly.
Configurations are located mostly in the following classes:
DbQueryConfig- configuration related to queries.DbOomConfig- everything related mapping, naming conventions etc.
As said, every JDBC driver and database behaves differently. Here are some best practice you can use in your projects:
- Establish convention between entity names and tables names.
- Use strict matching, i.e. set correct letter case for table and columnnames.
- Bidirectional mapping between table and entity may not work because ofmissing meta-data in JDBC driver. Try using explicit conversion totypes.
- Use code
columnAliasTypeif needed. - Use
$C{}just for selected columns, and nothing else. - Don't forget that letter case of tables is different when createdfrom the code.
Very often (at the beginning of the project), DbOom is not working because of wrong letter case and mismatched conventions. Just experiment a bit until you set it right:) Once set, everything goes smoothly:)
