Welcome to the Facdatum blog!

As enterprise Java developers, we are always hitting roadblocks when trying to build our applications as they connect to the database. There are many tools out there that try to minimize the size of the roadblock that we hit, whether they are OR mapping tools or database explorers, but they all tend to treat the application code and the database as separate entities, rather than trying to enable the database to work seamlessly within the application environment and vice-versa. We are bringing together our experience of building enterprise applications to build a new set of tools to simplify the life of the enterprise Java developer when they need to access the database – and let’s face it, that’s nearly always!

The aim of this blog is to track our progress building our range of tools, record any thoughts we have on the application/database relationship, and, as we’re active developers, write down any other useful tips and tricks that we come across as we’re developing that we think could be useful to others.
