SQLContainer Enhanced - Vaadin Add-on Directory
Drop-in replacement for SQLContainerEnhanced version of **SQLContainer**. This is a drop-in replacement.
* Auto-detect database type. If you've ever tried to use `TableQuery` just by following the Vaadin Docs then you've probably begun to see strange errors. This is because `TableQuery` really need to know what database you are using. If not, it will just take a wild guess and this may be wrong, at least if you are using Oracle or MS SQL Server. In the enhanced version we can pass a JDBC Driver Class name (something your application *should* know) and from this the Enhanced SQLContainer can tell what your database is and therefore use the correct `SQLGenerator`. Generally this makes it easier/possible to deliver solutions to your customer that can run on any supported database rather than being tied to a single type of database.
* Support for MariaDB and Apache Derby has been added.
* Support for conversion of vendor-specific data types such as Oracle's proprietary timestamp type or PostgreSQL's Geographic types. This type of conversion cannot be done in a standard Vaadin Converter because the conversion needs access to the JDBC connection.
Usage guide is on the GitHub README. Apart from that this is really a drop-in replacement so all of the official Vaadin documentation for SQLContainer applies.
As of Vaadin 8 there will no longer be any SQLContainer in the Vaadin Framework. What this means for this add-on is currently undecided. But in any case you can continue to use this add-on as it is also in Vaadin 8 with the v7 compatibility package.
