What ORMs have taught me: just learn SQL (2014)

it might be theoretical in hibernate, but sqlalchemy does a TON of this stuff

as an example: https://github.com/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/blob/master/lib/sqlalch...

heaps of this kind of thing are nicely dotted around the code so you don’t have to deal with weird driver quirks, maps “Text” column type to whatever it needs to be in your given database to have an unbounded text blob

id say that’s far more than theoretical

EDIT: typo

EDIT 2: also, on DB specific features, SQLA supports a bunch (not all). eg: https://github.com/zzzeek/sqlalchemy/blob/master/lib/sqlalch...

In Java land the JDBC driver is supposed to do that. If it doesn't then that's a bug in the driver. If it's a bug in the JDBC driver then the fix needs to go into the JDBC driver, especially if the driver is on GitHub.

The presence of an ORM relying on these bugs should not prevent a bug in the driver from being fixed.
