Hello All, I had a few questions that perturb me as to why DAO is so widely used:
1. Some articles say it prevents the locking of DB tables, but we are never guaranteed that our data isn't dirty with the DB, and therefore, all application transactions are still executed against the DB. 2. Rule number one for selects is to only select the data you need. If I'm populating or pulling beans, more often than not, DAO implementations that I've seen pull out all columns from a table to populate their beans. 3. Thus far, the only advantage I've seen is on Row Gateway selects (public BeanObject select( Long primarykey )). Are there any others? If anyone can offer some insight on this, it would be greatly appreciated; I'm hurting myself on my current project with extensive DAO implementations that are shooting me in the foot at every turn with the requirements for specialized business logic.
