Welcome to another great database integration in jOOQ: Firebird! This is one of the more popular open source SQL databases out there, with a rich feature set, including the SQL standard MERGE statement.
Apart from this, the main new features are: - Optimistic locking. jOOQ's UpdatableRecord API transparently implements optimistic locking on its store() and delete() methods. By default, the in-memory record is compared with the one in the database at write time. But you can also let jOOQ handle incremented VERSION or TIMESTAMP columns for you. - Oracle feature increment. Many nice Oracle features are now supported: user-defined aggregates, regular expressions, Oracle Text, CONNECT_BY_ROOT and ORDER SIBLINGS BY clausess, partitioned outer joins and more - jOOQ's convenience API has been greatly enhanced. This includes many improved fetch methods and new short forms for equal=eq, notEqual=ne, greaterThan=gt, etc. to better align jOOQ with JPA, XSL, QueryDSL and many other tools that abbreviate these keywords - Many types and methods have been deprecated to help you foresee the upcoming changes in jOOQ 3.0 Please consider also the updated manual with its new, more user-friendly structure See the full release notes here: http://www.jooq.org/notes.php
