jOOQ-scala is a maven module used for leveraging some advanced Scala features for those users that wish to use jOOQ with Scala.
You can integrate it using the following dependency:
Maven
Gradle (Kotlin)
Gradle (Groovy)

Using Scala's implicit defs to allow for operator overloading
The most obvious Scala feature to use in jOOQ are implicit defs for implicit conversions in order to enhance the org.jooq.Field type with SQL-esque operators.
The following depicts a trait which wraps all fields:
/**
* A Scala-esque representation of {@link org.jooq.Field}, adding overloaded
* operators for common jOOQ operations to arbitrary fields
*/
trait SAnyField[T] extends Field[T] {
// String operations
// -----------------
def ||(value : String) : Field[String]
def ||(value : Field[_]) : Field[String]
// Comparison predicates
// ---------------------
def ===(value : T) : Condition
def ===(value : Field[T]) : Condition
def !==(value : T) : Condition
def !==(value : Field[T]) : Condition
def <>(value : T) : Condition
def <>(value : Field[T]) : Condition
def >(value : T) : Condition
def >(value : Field[T]) : Condition
def >=(value : T) : Condition
def >=(value : Field[T]) : Condition
def <(value : T) : Condition
def <(value : Field[T]) : Condition
def <=(value : T) : Condition
def <=(value : Field[T]) : Condition
def <=>(value : T) : Condition
def <=>(value : Field[T]) : Condition
}
The following depicts a trait which wraps numeric fields:
/**
* A Scala-esque representation of {@link org.jooq.Field}, adding overloaded
* operators for common jOOQ operations to numeric fields
*/
trait SNumberField[T <: Number] extends SAnyField[T] {
// Arithmetic operations
// ---------------------
def unary_- : Field[T]
def +(value : Number) : Field[T]
def +(value : Field[_ <: Number]) : Field[T]
def -(value : Number) : Field[T]
def -(value : Field[_ <: Number]) : Field[T]
def *(value : Number) : Field[T]
def *(value : Field[_ <: Number]) : Field[T]
def /(value : Number) : Field[T]
def /(value : Field[_ <: Number]) : Field[T]
def %(value : Number) : Field[T]
def %(value : Field[_ <: Number]) : Field[T]
// Bitwise operations
// ------------------
def unary_~ : Field[T]
def &(value : T) : Field[T]
def &(value : Field[T]) : Field[T]
def |(value : T) : Field[T]
def |(value : Field[T]) : Field[T]
def ^(value : T) : Field[T]
def ^(value : Field[T]) : Field[T]
def <<(value : T) : Field[T]
def <<(value : Field[T]) : Field[T]
def >>(value : T) : Field[T]
def >>(value : Field[T]) : Field[T]
}
An example query using such overloaded operators would then look like this:
select (
BOOK.ID * BOOK.AUTHOR_ID,
BOOK.ID + BOOK.AUTHOR_ID * 3 + 4,
BOOK.TITLE || " abc" || " xy")
from BOOK
leftOuterJoin (
select (x.ID, x.YEAR_OF_BIRTH)
from x
limit 1
asTable x.getName()
)
on BOOK.AUTHOR_ID === x.ID
where (BOOK.ID <> 2)
or (BOOK.TITLE in ("O Alquimista", "Brida"))
fetch
Scala 2.10 Macros
This feature is still being experimented with. With Scala Macros, it might be possible to inline a true SQL dialect into the Scala syntax, backed by the jOOQ API. Stay tuned!
