I’m considering Elixir as the language to use in place of Java to rewrite a data access framework builder that (being written in Java) has a critical dependency on JDBC technology. It uses existing JDBC drivers provided by database vendors against traditional databases as well as custom written JDBC drivers to access non-database data sources from Web pages and REST APIs to.NET DLLs.
This all worked very well in Java 10 years ago, but for a couple of reasons it needs to be rewritten, and I would like to take advantage of the resilience of Elixir and use it rather than Java to do the rewrite.
I would very much appreciate an initial answer to the first question that I have: “Can I read and write data in Elixir using a JDBC driver?” before I ask the Elixir community to entertain any more specific questions, however any other insight or experience that anyone is willing to share on the topic will also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! :
