About Empire-DB
===============
-The mission of Apache Empire-db is to provide an alternative approach to
relational
-database access compared to Object-Relational-Mapping (ORM) as offered by JDO
and JPA.
+Empire-db is a lightweight relational database access library for JAVA dealing
with all
+aspects of storing, manipulating, retrieving and modelling data in Relational
+Database Management Systems (RDBMS).
+
+As an alternative to traditional Object-Relational-Mapping (ORM) solutions
like JDO and JPA,
+it provides an SQL centric, no-compromise approach that uses a
Java-Object-Model
+rather than Mapping Files or Annotations.
Apache Empire-db is intended for developers who strive to have full SQL
freedom when
formulating queries and DML-Statements - without ever having to use string
literals -
-and who also wants to be able to control when and how statements are executed.
+and who also want to be able to control when and how statements are executed.
-Unlike other approaches, Empire-db does not rely on Java Annotations or
Mapping-files
-for building queries but rather uses a Java Object model that is easy to
access and
-extend. For Data Access and Data Interchange, developers can choose between
traditional
-Java Beans and a more sophisticated dynamic interface are provided by Record
and DataListEntries.
+Apache Empire-db also deals with all aspects of creating, reading, updating
and deleting
+records such as identity management and concurrency control (aka optimistic
locking)
+in a easy to use, DMBS independed way.
Empire-db is DBMS vendor independent and provides handlers for Oracle,
Microsoft SQLServer,
PostgreSQL, MySQL, HsqlDB, Derby, H2 and more.
