Connecting to Databases with next.jdbc

Learn to establish database connections and execute SQL queries using the `next.jdbc` library.

Database Access in Clojure

Welcome to connecting Clojure with databases! Most real-world applications need to store and retrieve data, and databases are central to this.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to use next.jdbc, Clojure's popular library, to interact with various databases.

Meet next.jdbc

next.jdbc is a modern, idiomatic Clojure wrapper for JDBC (Java Database Connectivity). JDBC is the standard Java API for connecting to relational databases.

  • It simplifies database operations.
  • It provides a clean, functional interface.
  • It's fast and efficient.
  • It supports a wide range of databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, H2, SQLite, etc.).
