Have you tried MyBatis? The kotlin support looks pretty nice.

thanks! it looks pretty elegant 😉

i'll look at krotm as well.

And depending on what you want your DB support to do, https://spring.io/projects/spring-data-jdbc is clean, and supports Kotlin data classes for easy DDD focused interactions.

No reflection used here. All class generation for Java and Kotlin.

thanks for the link! i've heard that spring have fantastic Kotlin supprt, ll turn for it when i want to build my application with spring.

currently i'm using jOOQ to handling all database stuff, and it works incredibly well!!! 😄 😁

the fluent api and auto-generated mapper is very helpful, the pojo is generated with componentN makes them seamlessly integrated with deconstruction pattern in kotlin, and it's inmutable.

there's a related issue on github, saying they're working to let data class generated IIRC. anyway, i like jOOQ, at least lately 😉

I've heard great things about JOOQ but haven't been able to use it on a project yet.
