Abstract
The last chapter introduced how Scala can use JDBC to access a database. However, there are a number of different Scala-based approaches being developed to explore more Scala-like ways of interacting with a database than JDBC. Although JDBC works very well it is far more Java like than Scala like and actually provides a very low level of abstraction (witness the many Object Relational Mapping, or ORM, tools within the Java world such as Hibernate).
