312-frameworks-spring-data-jdbc

This Spring Data JDBC skill guides Java developers in using Spring Data JDBC with records, covering entity design, repository patterns, immutable updates, aggregate relationships, custom queries, and transaction management. Use it when reviewing or improving Spring Data JDBC code to ensure best practices around record immutability, N+1 query avoidance, and proper aggregate boundary design.

# Spring Data JDBC with Records

Apply Spring Data JDBC guidelines with Java records.

**What is covered in this Skill?**

- Records for entity classes (immutable, constructor-friendly)
- @Table for naming when record name differs from the table name
- @Embedded to inline value-object columns into the parent row without a separate table
- Repository pattern
- Immutable updates with static factories for new rows and with* helpers for updates
- save() INSERT vs UPDATE semantics driven by @Id nullability
- Aggregate boundaries: one repository per aggregate root, Set for one-to-many inside the root, foreign keys between aggregates
- Custom queries with @Query and named parameters (no user-input concatenation)
- Transaction management (@Transactional on services; readOnly where appropriate)
- Single query loading (N+1 avoidance)

**Scope:** Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and good/bad code examples.

## Constraints

Before applying any Spring Data JDBC changes, ensure the project compiles. If compilation fails, stop immediately. After applying improvements, run full verification.

- **MANDATORY**: Run `./mvnw compile` or `mvn compile` before applying any change
- **SAFETY**: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- **VERIFY**: Run `./mvnw clean verify` or `mvn clean verify` after applying improvements
- **BEFORE APPLYING**: Read the reference for detailed rules and good/bad patterns
- **EDGE CASE**: If request scope is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before applying changes
- **EDGE CASE**: If required inputs, files, or tooling are missing, report what is missing and ask whether to proceed with setup guidance

## When to use this skill

- Review Java code for Spring Data JDBC
- Apply best practices for Spring Data JDBC in Java code

## Workflow

1. **Read reference and assess project context**

Read `references/312-frameworks-spring-data-jdbc.md` and inspect the current project setup before proposing changes.

2. **Gather scope and decide target improvements**

Identify requested outcomes, constraints, and the minimum safe set of changes to apply.

3. **Apply framework-aligned changes**

Implement or refactor configuration/code following the reference patterns and project conventions.

4. **Run verification and report results**

Execute appropriate build/tests and summarize what changed, what was verified, and any follow-up actions.
