----------------------------------
This is Lukas from Data Geekery (the company behind jOOQ) chiming in.
{quote}Long term this may be the right answer. I have not looked into the
options. JOOQ looks like the open source edition only supports open source
databases, and since Hive already supports Oracle and MSSQL Server this would
not be an option.{quote}
This is correct. We're aware of the challenges our license model induces to
other Open Source projects, specifically those of the ASF. We've been talking
also to other projects about this:
*Apache GORA*:
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-86
-
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/gora-user/201311.mbox/%3ccalugr6aiac9tteskmjhiylf7htdyeuts_z_j0hse8z0th2f...@mail.gmail.com%3E
*Apache CloudStack*:
- Unfortunately, there hadn't been too many public discussions about this
>From the GORA mailing list thread, I suspect that only #2 would apply to Hive:

This option was well received by the GORA team, although the GORA project
itself isn't advancing very fast, so we have not settled this yet.
If you think that this could be a viable option also for Apache Hive, let me
know (or write to sa...@datageekery.com). We're very open to finding creative
solutions with other OSS vendors.
And obviously - to get back on topic - the free, ASL 2.0-licensed jOOQ support
for PostgreSQL makes PostgreSQL even more awesome! :)
