MapperDao is a free and open-source Java-based ORM library for the scala language and the following databases:
· oracle
· postgresql
· mysql
· derby
· sql server
· h2
MapperDao makes CRUD operations, queries and transactions very simple and it follows a no-surprise approach.
As with any ORM tool, the mappings are probably the complex part of the library but they are done in a type-safe manner and most errors will be caught during compilation.
Mapping is scala code and doesn't use xml or annotations which clutter the domain classes.
Detailed instructions on how to install and use the MapperDao utility on your Mac are available HERE.
MapperDao is a cross-platform utility capable of running on any operating system that comes with Java support (e.g. Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).
