Hi Lukas,
Sorry for the long delay in response. We've used the JPA with default mapper to load data into both Records and POJOs and having the ability to go back and forth or even in one direction (Records -> Pojos) would be great. Thanks for opening up the ticket. Our usual cases tends to be one of 3 scenarios. LoadInto: - Generated Records.class - Generated POJO .class - HandRolled POJO due to data being returned and modeled differently then the DB. I would assume that 1 and 2 is somewhat doable. 3rd Item is probably not feasible, but if there was some mechanism that would allows us to go from any of these entities back and forth that'd be great. Even the HandRolled POJOs. end of the day we end up with Object.fieldName maps to GeneratedPojo.fieldName which corresponds to GeneratedRecord.fieldName. having the ability to say take a List of hand rolled POJO and extrapolate a List of records we can INSERT/UPDATE depending on use case would be very useful to us. that being said, this is "our" needs, it doesn't necessarily make sense for Jooq in general. Just passing on our use case in case it resonates with others and feedback was requested. :) -- Samir On Tue, Jul 12, 2016 at 11:04 PM, Lukas Eder <lukas.e...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Samir, > > I have registered a feature request to generate a mapper() onto generated > TableRecords: > https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/issues/5412 > > That's a low hanging fruit.
