Let's just write a vanilla main class in the project containing the generated classes:
// For convenience, always static import your generated tables and jOOQ functions to decrease verbosity: import static test.generated.Tables.*; import static org.jooq.impl.DSL.*; import java.sql.*; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { String userName = "root"; String password = ""; String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/library"; // Connection is the only JDBC resource that we need // PreparedStatement and ResultSet are handled by jOOQ, internally try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password)) { // ... } // For the sake of this tutorial, let's keep exception handling simple catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
This is pretty standard code for establishing a MySQL connection.
