title: Lightweight JDBC helper library alternative to Apache Commons DbUtils
body: <p>I've just developed my own tiny little JDBC helper library, and I've already realized what a maintenance nightmare it will be.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not looking for a full fledged ORM, like Hibernate, just something light and useful to quickly make JDBC calls passing SQL statements without messing with checked exceptions, closing resources manually, etc...</p>
  
  <p>From your experiencie, can you recommend a nice JDBC helper library?</p>
  
  <p>So far now, I've had a look at <a href="http://commons.apache.org/dbutils/examples.html" rel="noreferrer">Apache Commons DbUtils</a> which seems pretty good. Any other idea?</p>
