117.1 | 3 | Advantages of Squeryl over EOF: |
| |
54.1 | 4 | |
| 5 | * Concurrent | ||
| |
155.1 | 6 | ** Spawns multiple database connections |
| 7 | ** Issues database transactions concurrently | ||
| |
54.1 | 8 | * Scala Actor compatible |
| |
151.1 | 9 | * Immutable object model/graph |
| |
81.1 | 10 | * Strongly-typed |
| |
155.1 | 11 | ** Better suited for business "logic". |
| 12 | E.g: Exploiting the compiler and IDE to catch exceptions at compile time rather than at run-time. | ||
| |
115.1 | 13 | * Uses Scala (functional) collection classes |

| 15 | = Migrating EOF -> Squeryl = | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | In keeping with the strong-typed philosophy of Scala, Squeryl has no dynamic component like EOF (i.e an EO model file). | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | EOF though has the ability to generate classes in Java (and in Objective-C prior to WebObjects 4.5) enforcing type as has become customary in enterprise environments. We may exploit this feature of EOF to generate a Squeryl schema. |
