Is this a good place for advertising？

I don't know about connotating it as advertising (for what exactly?).
It is outreach for an article that helped quite a few people so far get a good picture of the Java DB landscape - that's why I think places like the Hibernate or jOOQ documentation are also already linking to it.

Although I also think it is not appropriate to add a personal website that is not widely recognized in MyBatis document, I think there should be hints for beginners in the document by other ways. ref: #2480

idk, kind of ok with this, it is helpful based on what I saw and its kept up to date. @harawata , WDYT? |
|
I personally prefer not to have external links, but I'm OK with it if you think it's useful. |

@awxiaoxian2020 I agree with your thinking. Is that maybe something you can work up? I'm sure the docs need a lot of love they don't generally get. @harawata I think in this specific case, we probably would never go to so great of detail to discuss alternatives anyways and its laid out nicely enough its not really promoting any one thing over any other thing. And finally, its so little enough here that we can remove at any point later. I think in general for entry level developers it is important to see alternatives like this which further helps them also understand why an organization or team may have made a specific choice along the way. |

@marcobehler Going to go ahead and accept this. While we have varying concerns on external information such as this, there is certainly value to such information. That said, if for some reason our team feels its not useful later down the road, it could be removed so just putting that out there. In all likelihood it will remain. Thank you! |

@hazendaz Thank you. (This might pass as the oldest pull request I ever got merged ;) ) |
Hi all,
I'm currently revising my guide on database access in Java ( https://www.marcobehler.com/guides/a-guide-to-accessing-databases-in-java ) and was thinking - with the risk of it being rejected for self promotion - that including it in the 'Introduction' section would help more people get a clearer picture of the whole Java database landscape and where and how MyBatis fits in. At least that's the feedback I got so far.
In any case, thanks for considering!
