Philosophy

The philosophy of this project is centered around the idea, that an application should be accessing the database only via stored procedures/functions. This means that all data read and write operations are performed through these database functions, establishing a stable contract between the application and the database.

This approach offers several benefits:

• Storing and retrieving the data effectively differs from the main application logic
• Separation of concerns
• Separation of duties
• Protection of data from unauthorized read
• Protection of data consistency
• Scaling
• Testability
• Portability

Fa-DB library aims to facilitate a natural and idiomatic way to call these database functions from Scala applications, making it easier to work with stored procedures/functions while adhering to the principles of functional programming and type safety.
