WebObjects and Squeryl

Version 157.1 by Ravi Mendis on 2010/11/09 23:46

Squeryl = SQL-like DSL for Scala

Advantages of Squeryl over EOF:

  • Concurrent
    • Spawns multiple database connections
    • Issues database transactions concurrently
  • Scala Actor compatible
  • Immutable object model/graph
  • Strongly-typed
    • Better suited for business "logic".
             E.g: Exploiting the compiler and IDE to catch exceptions at compile time rather than at run-time.
  • Uses Scala (functional) collection classes
