The iBATIS Data Mapper framework
makes it easier to use a database with Java and .NET applications.
iBATIS couples objects with stored procedures or SQL statements using a
XML descriptor. Simplicity is the biggest advantage of the iBATIS Data
Mapper over object relational mapping tools.

To use the iBATIS
Data Mapper, you rely on your own objects, XML, and SQL. There is
little to learn that you don’t already know. With the iBATIS Data
Mapper, you have the full power of both SQL and stored procedures at
your fingertips.

SQLObject includes a Python-object-based query language that makes SQL more abstract, and provides substantial database independence for applications.

ActiveRecord-JDBC is a database adapter for Rails’ ActiveRecord component that can be used with JRuby. It allows use of virtually any JDBC-compliant database with your JRuby on Rails application.

This version enhances the library with a read-only large object interface, which enables access to blob and clob data stored within a database. The Firebird backend is the first one that implements this interface and is now able to fetch data objects up to several GB in size is smaller chunks. Along with the new interface, the code for the backends was split into several files, so it is more clearly arranged when extensions like the large object part will be added. Also, replacing stdint.h by the inttypes.h include removes an undesired dependency on automake from the header file.
