This is the place to go if you have an unusually open mind, or have parked your faith in an organized religion and have a need to be pissed off.

Software and Libraries

  • Java

JDBC Utility Library - Efficient and hassle free JDBC

This library provides the following features...
      • All SQL statements, whether prepared or not, can use named parameters (instead of the ?).
      • All SQL statements are executed by passing a keyed collection of parameters - and that's it, no more positional parameter setting code.
      • A complete set of wrapper classes that protect against loss of resources by ensuring the JDBC object is closed when the object goes out of scope (if you, the programmer somehow forgot to close them first yourself).  These include ConnectionWrapper, StatementWrapper, PreparedStatementWrapper, CallableStatementWrapper and ResultSetWrapper.
      • The wrapper classes are child aware, meaning that closing a Connection will close all Statements that were created from that Connection, closing a Statement will close all ResultSets created from that Statement.
