ScalikeJDBC VS fatcoach

Compare ScalikeJDBC vs fatcoach and see what are their differences.

ScalikeJDBC

A tidy SQL-based DB access library for Scala developers. This library naturally wraps JDBC APIs and provides you easy-to-use APIs. (by scalikejdbc)

    I have had poor experiences with "fancy" SQL libraries in multiple languages when I go past basic operations. This includes Slick and Quill in Scala.

    I don't remember what the problems were with Slick that leave such a bad feeling when I hear its name -- that was 5 years ago -- but I had problems with Quill just last year. I was trying to use it to generate an efficient "in" query against a two column composite primary key, and nothing seemed to work. Since it uses macro magic, one of my attempts triggered an internal compiler error instead of normal compiler feedback.

    I ended up dropping Quill for ScalikeJDBC:

    http://scalikejdbc.org/

    It seems to be less popular/active than other libraries, but it is dead simple to use, even for developers new to Scala. I write exactly the SQL I want just like I would in psql. There is little-to-no magic [1]. I think that the only slightly magical feature I use is ensure that variable interpolation into SQL ("SQLInterpolation") prevents injection attacks.

    [1] It actually has capabilities to automatically map tables/columns into different structures and generate code for you, but my team doesn't use any of that. We just write SQL.

  • Possible innovations in Event Sourcing frameworks.

    In the spirit of DDD I believe we should ditch custom designed events and use generic Change Data Capture (CDC) events like Create/Update/Delete for domain changes. I would like to refer to an experimental project with some ideas on this direction, although it was not designed for this purpose, but you get the picture. Also Master/Detail design matches the idea of aggregates.

    FatCoach is an experimental project for a Back-End as a Service (BaaS) framework (using the Kotlin language) which abstracts the underlying SQL database from Front-End developers. Sharing a similar purpose to GraphQL (on a client perspective); however, with a different philosophy and architecture.

    I also build a POC here, mapping to SQL via jOOQ. But I believe a graph engine would be better suited. I need to look into your links.
  • Query DSL in Scala 3

    I have a personal project here that defines a query language created with Antlr and Kotlin. Now, is it possible to create something very similar using Scala 3 metaprogramming with compile-time checks?
