Hi Samir, While it would be possible to use NOT NULL constraint information from the database in order to generate primitive types where applicable, this will cause quite a few issues with generics, in particular with Record[N]<T1, T2, ..., TN> types. These types define methods like T1 value1() and void value1(T1), where T1 is always the wrapper type, never the primitive type.
I think there were other reasons too, in the past, why jOOQ's code generator avoided primitive types in generated API. After all, the Record will still contain the boxed type, and Record.set(Field<T>, T) still sets the boxed type as well. Another reason is that this would only apply to Java primitive types, not to other types that may equally be NOT NULL (such as String). I suspect that from an API consistency point of view, primitive type support would just be a bit too wonky for it to be included in jOOQ. I hope this helps, Lukas 2016-07-20 0:41 GMT+02:00 Samir Faci <[email protected]>: > I didn't see an option for this, but I was wondering if it was possible to > give preference for primitive data types in the interface that are being > generated. > > ie. boolean over Boolean, long rather then Long etc. > > I like the idea of interface to help ensure the Listing objects we create > is consistent with the data model but we try to avoid nulls since they > introduce those tristate use cases that are undefined. > > > ie.
