JUXT Cast S5E10 - JUXT Cast: 50 Years of SQL, 15 Years of jOOQ — with Lukas Eder
Episode Notes
Our guest is Lukas Eder, creator of jOOQ (https://jooq.org/) - a fluent Java API for SQL building and execution.
In this episode, JUXT Head of Product Jeremy Taylor and Lukas Eder discuss the often under-appreciated power and significance of SQL for developers, and how Lukas' jOOQ library helps Java developers sidestep the pitfalls of ORMs.
Lukas has been developing jOOQ since 2009 and has diligently supported many thousands of companies with their use of relational databases since then. He has written huge amounts of documentation and blogged extensively to advocate for SQL.
As mentioned during the introduction, the inspiration behind recording this episode was an excellent talk Lukas gave a few years ago titled "How Modern SQL Databases Come up with Algorithms that You Would Have Never Dreamed Of": https://www.youtube.com/embed/wTPGW1PNy_Y?si=hfxju9VPSfhlIb70.
