iciql ================= iciql **is**... - a model-based, database access wrapper for JDBC - for modest database schemas and basic statement generation - for those who want to write code, instead of SQL, using IDE completion and compile-time type-safety - small (125KB) with no runtime dependencies - pronounced *icicle* (although it could be French: *ici ql* - here query language) - a friendly fork of the H2 [JaQu](http://h2database.com/html/jaqu.html) project iciql **is not**... - a complete alternative to JDBC - designed to compete with more powerful database query tools like [jOOQ](http://jooq.sourceforge.net) or [Querydsl](http://source.mysema.com/display/querydsl/Querydsl) - designed to compete with enterprise ORM tools like [Hibernate](http://www.hibernate.org) or [mybatis](http://www.mybatis.org) Supported Databases (Unit-Tested) ------- - [H2](http://h2database.com) 1.3.159 - [HSQLDB](http://hsqldb.org) 2.2.4 - [Derby](http://db.apache.org/derby) 10.7.1.1 & 10.8.1.2 Partially Supported Databases (not Unit-Tested) ------- - [MySQL](http://mysql.com) Support for others is planned and may only require creating a simple "dialect" class.
