Features requiring generated code
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
There are numerous features in jOOQ that require the use of generated code, which is why we always recommend using generated code by default. The main and only reason why you wouldn't use the code generator is because your schema is dynamic and known only at runtime.
However, even when you use the jOOQ code generator, there are occasions where you may need to bypass it by using plain SQL or Name based Field and Table types. In those cases, you will not benefit from the following features either (the features are effectively bypassed). Such features include:
- INSERT RETURNING, UPDATE RETURNING, and DELETE RETURNING emulations need access to constraint meta data.
-
Forced types are a code generation feature that is attached to a
org.jooq.DataType. -
Render mapping is a runtime feature, depending on
org.jooq.Catalog,org.jooq.Schema, ororg.jooq.Tableequality.
Note that it is possible to use some of the above features even with plain SQL if you copy a org.jooq.DataType from generated code to your template, although, you will have to remember this step every time you create such a template.
