Lessons Learned

• Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL) provides the ability to construct Structured Query Language (SQL) queries (including joins and binding variables) with Java and MySQL to provide robust interactivity embedded in a Java application.
• Spring Boot integrates with JPA to connect web functionality with a database-backed application.
• MySQL Workbench provides tools to forward engineer a database including sample data.
• Coding to the interface which defines the database access methods helps separate concerns related to implementation.
