Ducebatis

Ducebatis is a fictional open-source persistence framework designed to map objects in application code to database records. It is presented here as a conceptual alternative to established ORM tools.

The name Ducebatis is a constructed term blending influences from data-access frameworks; there is no real project by this name.

It emphasizes lightweight runtime, explicit SQL control, and strong separation of concerns.

It provides mapping between domain objects and SQL statements, supports annotation- or XML-based mappers, dynamic SQL generation, automatic result mapping, and a plugin system with interceptors for logging, caching, and transactions.

Core components include a SessionFactory, Sessions, Mappers, a SQLBuilder or dynamic SQL generator, and an Executor responsible for statement preparation and execution; it supports multiple database drivers.

In the fictional context, Ducebatis saw multiple feature iterations and influenced discussions on ORM design; criticisms include potential complexity and risk of over-configuration.
