The DBBean framework provides a simple API for Java developers to use a relational database. The two main objects provided are: com.sidman.db.DB and com.sidman.db.DBBean.

The DB object wraps the interface to a database. It provides connection pooling by default and provides methods to manipulate DBBean objects.

DBBean objects wrap a view into the database. A DBBean may represent a view into a single table or many tables. One DBBean is represents one row in a selection from the actual database (one row in a ResultSet).
