A type-safe object-oriented solution for the dynamic construction of queries

Many object-oriented applications use large numbers of structurally different database queries. With current technology, writing applications that generate queries at runtime is difficult and error-prone. FROQUE, a framework for object-oriented queries, provides a secure and purely object-oriented solution to access relational databases. As such, it is easy to use for object-oriented programmers and with the help of object-oriented compilers it guarantees that queries formulated in the object-oriented world at execution time result in correct SQL queries. Thus, FROQUE is an improvement over existing database frameworks such as Apache OJB, the object relational bridge, which are not strongly typed and can lead to runtime errors.
