EoD SQL 2.1

EoD SQL Allows for fast, simple binding between a Relation Database Query and Java objects.

EoD SQL stands for Ease of Development, the API's key concerns are being:

EoD SQL is a very small API that allows binding of SQL Queries to Java Objects. The API is designed to be compatible with the "Ease of Development" API that could be found in J2SE 1.6 beta, but not in the final release. The EoD API's main principal is that it maps SQL ResultSet's to objects, and not the other way around. Most OR mapping layers try to replicate the database structure in objects, where EoD SQL lets you write the SQL code, while it allows for easy access to Java Objects that map to the ResultSet.

Advantages to EoD SQL:

* Super light weight
* Very easy to work with
* Generally well documented (tell me where it's not)
* More features than the original EoD RI
* No compile-time anything needed
* No XML, or other configuration files needed
* Should work with any JDBC database
* Lets you code whatever SQL you like
* Object mapping is loose (extra columns in the results are ignored, as are extra fields in the data object)
