Dear group,
It has been brought to my attention that using "Factory" as a name for
the jOOQ DSL entry point might not be the optimal choice. You will
find details about this request in this thread here [1].
I understand the arguments brought up by Christopher Deckers, which are mainly:
1. The name is too generic to be linked to jOOQ
2. The name is too generic to be used easily in auto imports, code
navigation, Google searches
I personally did not agree with the above because of
1. The class is in a package, which clearly links it to jOOQ
2. The class is in a package, which clearly links it to jOOQ
(except for auto imports)
But I may not suffer from the same pain as you, the users. Also I'm
curious about the potential of finding a better name.
So please, if you feel either way (pro / contra "Factory"), bring up
your arguments in favour / against the current name. If you're against
it, please also bring up a compelling alternative. By "compelling", I
don't mean things like "Builder", "SQL", "API", but something that
clearly communicates the intent of the "Factory", which are two
things:
- Being the single point of entry for the jOOQ DSL
- Being the single "factory" for constructing jOOQ QueryParts,
functions, bind values, etc.
As of jOOQ 3.0, the Factory is no longer:
- An entity holding "contextual" information about JDBC Connections,
DataSources, Settings, SQLDialect. This information has been moved
outside of the Factory in jOOQ 3.0 and is off-topic for this
brainstorming.
More info about the Factory can be found here [2] and here [3]
Let's try to get to a conclusion until Sunday, April 7.
Cheers
Lukas
