This is a simple example of JOOQ application.

JOOQ allows to create Java Models from any SQL database to persist data, hence it is almost instantly possible to manipulate and persist data from java code to any SQL database. Follow the procedure described below and explore the different hand written and generated files to understand why JOOQ is probably far better than hibernate.

Just Open it as a Maven project in Eclipse or whatever. the Test folder is the Maven root folder The MYSQL Database is running on a Raspberry pi 2, so it can sometimes be offline (if internet or electricity is down :/)

1. Load the project
2. Run Maven install
3. Run GenerateJOOQ.java from the Jooq.Test package -> This will generate the model from an online database thanks to an xml file described here (the library.xml used in the project is modified but quite identical): http://www.jooq.org/doc/3.8/manual/getting-started/tutorials/jooq-in-7-steps/jooq-in-7-steps-step3/

Instead of generating files from command line, I just launch it from a simple java class. It's more logical in a maven environment.

4. Open the AuthorRecord.java file from the test.generated.tables.records package and remove the @override annotations that generate errors (if there are errors, otherwise don't do that)

5. Run App.java from the Jooq.Test package -> It shows simple extraction and insertion in a database.

Don't hesitate to modify the insertions and so on
