Fun fact: if your Spring Boot app opens an interactive shell on startup, the data initializer (or some other startup hooks) may never fire until you exit. Used the PostConstruct annotation and everything worked.

A very nice feature of @jooq.org - implicit joins!
No need to explicitly join child tables to retrieve parent's columns. SQL that feels like ORM :)

I finally watched Return to Silent Hill, and I must say, I'm bitterly disappointed. It is as if the script was written by AI: a set of scenes loosely bound to each other or not bound at all, and no core idea that could hold them together.

I haven't trained my SQL muscle for a while, and now, after starting a project on jOOQ, I feel like I need to go back to basics before implementing more complex stuff... Luckily, rolling back into the process is much easier with jOOQ's DSL API.
