Database abstraction with Julia

Question

Many languages provide database abstraction to save data (objects) to relational databases (generally through object relational mapping (ORM)).

I'm aware that Julia is not a "conventional" object oriented language (see julia: OOP or not )

But I wonder if a library with the following features exists ?

• Connect to a database through a database URI like "dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database" (see Python SQLAlchemy http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/engines.html )

• Store objects (in fact instances of composite type) to a DB

• Retrieve objects from DB

Answer 1

The JuliaDB collection lists various ways (i.e. julia libraries) to connect to databases, most of which should support the above functionality.
