RE: [Springframework-developer] insert functionality in jdbc package

[<jue...@we...>]

Hi Isabelle, everyone,

IMO we should rethink the scope of Spring's JDBC package. Insert =
functionality would definitely make sense, but we are moving more and =
more towards full-fledged persistence. That area is a crowded one: E.g. =
the issue of unique key retrieval is typically solved by almost every =
O/R mapping toolkit around.

We should try to solve many typical problems, of course. But we should =
also stick to a clear scope, without trying to compete with more =
focussed solutions - just like we're already sticking to e.g. J2EE =
DataSources, Log4J, JSP, and Velocity. They may not be perfect but they =
are good enough, at least if you add some convenience stuff.

I like Hibernate's "do one thing well" attitude =
(http://hibernate.bluemars.net/38.html): "Be the best at something. Let =
other projects worry about all the other things which you can't be the =
best at." And: "Scope creep sinks more open source projects than any =
other danger". I feel that we're already rather close to that frontier.

Regards,
Juergen

Hi everyone,

I feel we need insert functionality in the jdbc package. Depending on =
stored procedures as Rod advises in his book is not always a solution, =
for ex. mySQL does not currently support stored procedures. This =
introduces the topic of unique key retrieval which is again very =
DB-dependent. We cannot assume the DB has sequences or auto-increment =
columns.

See http://ejbutils.sourceforge.net

Your thoughts on this please.
