What is Apache Empire-db ?
Apache Empire-db is A relational database abstraction layer created by the Apache Foundation as an alternative to classic ORMs (Object-Relational Mappers) .
Apache Empire-db functions like a Java ORM but it provides extra support for basic data persistence methods.This implicitly means better targeted SQL statements that provide better and more efficient query results.Empire-db is easy to use, not requiring any special configuration, but it also comes well documented and with no special XML schema to learn.If Empire-db is not what you were looking for, then check out Hibernate or the Java JPA.
This is changelog for Apache Empire-db version 2.4.4 :
- Implemented limitRows and skipRows for Oracle
- Improved DDL Syntax by allowing variable parameters for primary key and relations
- Allow replacement of statements in a DBScript
- Allow enabling / disabling foreign key constraints
