Not really. The API (for the upcoming 0.3.0 version) has been extended with new functions to provide a more idiomatic usage (e.g., insert! and query) based on feedback from Clojure/core and others a long time ago. The original API will all be deprecated as part of 0.3.0 but kept around for backward compatibility for a few more point releases (but will go away close to a 1.0.0 release at some distant future date). You'll probably find the generated documentation useful: http://clojure.github.com/java.jdbc/ - I still need to update the additional documentation linked from that page (part of the clojure.java.jdbc source). > Just wondering if the intention is to make the DSL the primary way to work > with the API or if clojure.java.jdbc.sql will be completely optional? Completely optional. The idea is just to provide some (optional) sugar for common operations. I have no intention of going particularly deep on the DSL. If folks want a full DSL for SQL in Clojure, I'd suggest https://github.com/jkk/honeysql or http://sqlkorma.com - the former is a DSL to generate SQL that is compatible with clojure.java.jdbc, the latter is a DSL that wraps clojure.java.jdbc. > Just wondering what motivated the massive API changes? Motivated by guidelines and feedback to achieve a 1.0.0 release at some point: http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Contrib+1.0.0+Releases (general guidelines) https://groups.google.com/d/msg/clojure-dev/n3ZdOoDch5g/ir06M1EelesJ (feedback from Stu on clojure.java.jdbc) https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/clojure-dev/tObIBvGz_Qo/discussion (my response to some specific questions / suggestions) The whole "contrib 1.0.0 releases?" thread contains a mix of clojure.java.jdbc-specific stuff and general contrib library feature discussion so it's good reading.
