So far, no one wanted to mix entities Foo and > Bar, or do they? :-) At least not me! I'm not completely sure if I understand Joachim's concerns but at least Lukas seems to undestand what I wanted in my original mail :-) It's really only about *small* additions to the model classes for the sole reason of convenience. Using the Author/Book examples from the tutorial I could imagine the following "tweaks": target/generated-sources/BaseAuthorRecord.java: @javax.annotation.Generated(value = { "http://www.jooq.org";, "3.1.0" }, public abstract class BaseAuthorRecord extends UpdatableRecordImpl<generated.tables.records.AuthorRecord> implements org.jooq.Record6<Integer, String, String, Date, Integer, Integer> { ... } src/main/java/model/AuthorRecord.java: /** * This class was autogenerated by JOOQ. * * You should add additional methods to this class to meet the * application requirements. This class will only be generated as * long as it does not already exist in the output directory. */ public class AuthorRecord extends AuthorRecord { /** My convenience constructor... */ public AuthorRecord(String firstName, String lastName) { this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; } public String toString() { return "This is Author " + firstName + " " + lastName; } } bye, -christian- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jOOQ User Group" group.
