Quarkus JDBC — programmatic SQL
Apply programmatic JDBC patterns in Quarkus with safe SQL and clear transactions.
What is covered in this Skill?
- Injected javax.sql.DataSource (Agroal-backed) and try-with-resources for Connection / PreparedStatement
- PreparedStatement with bind parameters — never string concatenation
- Mapping ResultSet rows to Java records (dedicated mapRow method)
- Safe single-row queries with Optional; never assume rs.next() succeeds
- SQLException translation to domain exceptions (catch-translate-rethrow)
- Streaming large result sets with setFetchSize to avoid OOM
- Batch updates with addBatch / executeBatch for bulk inserts
- @Transactional service boundaries and propagation types (TxType.REQUIRES_NEW for independent commits)
- CDI self-invocation pitfall: always call transactional methods through the injected proxy
- Dev Services for databases in dev/test
- When to prefer Panache (
@412) vs raw JDBC
Scope: Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and good/bad code examples.
Constraints
Compile before JDBC refactors; verify after changes.
- MANDATORY: Run
./mvnw compile or mvn compile before applying any change
- PREREQUISITE: Project must compile before applying JDBC improvements
- SAFETY: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- BLOCKING CONDITION: Compilation errors must be resolved by the user before proceeding
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verify or mvn clean verify after applying improvements
- BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed rules and examples
When to use this skill
- Review JDBC or SQL data access in a Quarkus project
- Improve transactions and parameter binding for Quarkus JDBC
- Translate SQLException to domain exceptions or stream large result sets
- Fix CDI self-invocation bypassing @Transactional in Quarkus
Workflow
- Read reference and assess project context
Read references/411-frameworks-quarkus-jdbc.md and inspect the current project setup before proposing changes.
- Gather scope and decide target improvements
Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply.
- Apply framework-aligned changes
Implement or refactor configuration/code following the reference patterns and project conventions.
- Run verification and report results
Execute appropriate build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions.
