sormula simple (easy) object relational mapping
DAO Example
Sormula does not require DAO's but they are easy to implement.
// set up
Database database = new Database(connection);
InventoryDAO inventoryDAO = new InventoryDAO(database);

// get part by primary key
Inventory inventory = inventoryDAO.select("1234");

// update
inventory.setQuantity(inventory.getQuantity() - 1);
   inventoryDAO.update(inventory);
InventoryDAO.java
DAO's are trivial to implement with Sormula.
public class InventoryDAO extends Table<Inventory>
{
    public InventoryDAO(Database database) throws SormulaException
    {
        super(database, Inventory.class);
    }
}
The InventoryDAO implemented this way will inherit all of the methods from Table including these common methods:
public List<R> selectAll()
public R select(Object... primaryKeys)
public R selectWhere(String whereConditionName, Object...parameters)
public List<R> selectAllWhere(String whereConditionName, Object...parameters)
public List<R> selectAllWhereOrdered(String whereConditionName, String orderByName, Object...parameters)
public List<R> selectAllCustom(String customSql, Object... parameters)
public R selectCustom(String customSql, Object... parameters)

public int selectCount()
public int selectCount(String whereConditionName, Object...parameters)
public <T> T selectCount(String expression)
public <T> T selectCount(String expression, String whereConditionName, Object...parameters)
public <T> T selectMin(String expression)
public <T> T selectMin(String expression, String whereConditionName, Object...parameters)
public <T> T selectMax(String expression)
public <T> T selectMax(String expression, String whereConditionName, Object...parameters)
public <T> T selectAvg(String expression)
public <T> T selectAvg(String expression, String whereConditionName, Object...parameters)
public <T> T selectSum(String expression)
public <T> T selectSum(String expression, String whereConditionName, Object...parameters)
