| About Empire-DB |
| =============== |
| |
| Empire-db is a lightweight relational database access library for JAVA dealing with all |
| aspects of storing, manipulating, retrieving and modelling data in Relational |
| Database Management Systems (RDBMS). |
| |
| As an alternative to traditional Object-Relational-Mapping (ORM) solutions like JDO and JPA, |
| it provides an SQL centric, no-compromise approach that uses a Java-Object-Model |
| rather than Mapping Files or Annotations. |
| |
| Apache Empire-db is intended for developers who strive to have full SQL freedom when |
| formulating queries and DML-Statements - without ever having to use string literals - |
| and who also want to be able to control when and how statements are executed. |
| |
| Apache Empire-db also deals with all aspects of creating, reading, updating and deleting |
| records such as identity management and concurrency control (aka optimistic locking) |
| in a easy to use, DMBS independed way. |
| |
| Empire-db is DBMS vendor independent and provides handlers for Oracle, Microsoft SQLServer, |
| PostgreSQL, MySQL, HsqlDB, Derby, H2 and more. |
