it saves a lot of reinventing the wheel

And at the same time, gives you a dozen of footguns. This is just a list for the gotchas in the "@Transactional" annotation - https://dev.to/closeup1202/8-spring-transactional-pitfalls-t...

Now read up on all the dozen of annotations. But yeah, we did not want to "re-invent the wheel".

Half of those are not really an issue with the annotation and seem a bit contrived.

Thankfully the company that wrote the article has a linter/warning product to help avoid those pitfalls.

Im comparing against node equivalent ORMs and find spring consistently better. Yeah ive got to read up on annotations - but when it comes to transactions its always worth revisiting them to check for changes

Meh...

    await using cn = await pool.connect();
    const records = await cn.query<MyType>`
      SELECT ...
      FROM ...
      WHERE ...
    `;
    for await (const record of records) {
      ...
    }

Oh, spring is so much better...

		Spring version: `var records = jdbcClient .sql("select * from posts") .query(Post.class) .toList(); records.forEach(p -> ...);`
