Slick is a modern database query and access library for Scala. It allows you to work with stored data almost as if you were using Scala collections while at the same time giving you full control over when a database access happens and which data is transferred. You can write your database queries in Scala instead of SQL, thus profiting from the static checking, compile-time safety and compositionality of Scala. Slick features an extensible query compiler which can generate code for different backends. It allows you to work with relational databases almost as if you were using Scala collections, while at the same time giving you full control over when a database access happens and what data is transferred. By writing your queries in Scala you can benefit from the static type checking, compile-time safety, and compositionality of Scala, while retaining the ability to drop down to raw SQL where needed for custom or advanced database features.
