I can empathize with the frustrations of Hibernate. When I get to the point of: "OK, screw this, I need my native SQL, please." I tend to reach for jOOQ because I can get a much larger subset of SQL w/ clear, concise transactional semantics and the type-safe, SQL-like DSL that gives me that peace-of-mind about SQL injection. Since the DSL is code-generated during build time off of your schema, you get that extra layer of sturdiness by knowing at build-time (as opposed to at runtime, w/ string SQL) if your queries have invalid syntax. I'm not a jOOQ contributor, I just really like it.
