As Sun's database architect for NetBeans, part of my role is to understand what database tooling features we should add to NetBeansto help make it a rad, awesome tool for developers using databases.one general observation i have on this is that very tight tooling integration between IDEs and data-access is a missing bit of the jigsaw ATM. when i see developers grappling with data access issues, they have to cut bits of SQL from logs and then paste into an IDE.
I totally agree. It's far too hard to figure out what your ORM is doing for you.
perhaps it might be possible to develop a monitor logging API which would allow interested tools to observe the SQL as it is being executed.
That's one of the things that's missing for sure. The other is performance metrics and helpful hints like "turn on connection pooling" if it's not already on.
this would be an ideal complement to being able to jump from a data access object to the mapped database tables etc within a debugger etc.
And a tool bench to execute the JPAQL just like you would execute the SQL with a live connection.
