• Database Connection Managers - Maintains and reuses persistent database connections to optimize performance and resource usage in concurrent applications.
• Connection Pool Managers - Maintains a pool of persistent database connections to optimize performance and ensure stable resource usage.
• Schema Modification - Provides programmatic constructs for creating and modifying standard SQL schema objects like tables.
• Database Relationship Mappings - Models tree-like structures using adjacency lists, materialized paths, or nested sets to persist and query parent-child relationships.
• Eager Loading Strategies - Configures how subclasses are retrieved and loaded when querying base classes, including eager loading and subtype filtering.
• Expression-Based Data Querying - Translates high-level programming objects into vendor-specific SQL strings by traversing a tree of composable expression constructs.
