7 Database access

This chapter covers

Learning how to connect Quarkus application to the database
Introducing Hibernate object-relational mapping with Panache
Explaining Quarkus approaches to the database access
Integrating reactive database access to Quarkus applications

Databases. We believe all of us can agree that we must do something with the database at least a few times in our careers. From simple column adjustments to sophisticated migrations, these might become challenging problems to solve. This is why there are a lot of libraries helping us with database access, object-relational mapping (ORM), and migrations whenever we need them.

In the previous chapter, we delegated the user management and credentials storing to the ...

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
