+
+- **hand-edited DDL** in a generated versioned `.sql` file, and

+**Init scripts (`I__*.sql`) are write-once.** If an init script already exists on

+functions, `UNLOGGED` tables, triggers, seed data) is preserved across
+regeneration. The trade-off: to pick up an upstream change to a built-in init
+script (e.g. the partition helper) you must **delete the file first**, then
+regenerate. Repeatable scripts are always regenerated.

+# Guide: Add Ebean OpenTelemetry tracing
+
+## Purpose
+
+This guide explains how to enable Ebean transaction tracing with OpenTelemetry and,
+most importantly, how to order startup so Ebean sees the intended global
+OpenTelemetry instance.
+
+Use this guide when adding `ebean-opentelemetry`, diagnosing missing Ebean spans,
+or fixing `GlobalOpenTelemetry` double-registration errors.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+`ebean-opentelemetry` provides an Ebean profiling handler that creates transaction
+spans as children of the current active OpenTelemetry span. It does not create
+top-level request, job, or Lambda invocation spans by itself.
+
+The handler resolves its tracer from `GlobalOpenTelemetry` when the Ebean
+`Database` is configured. For that reason, the application must build and register
+the OpenTelemetry SDK before any Ebean `Database` beans are created.
+
+Rules of thumb:
+
+- Register the global OpenTelemetry instance once.
+- Register it before building Ebean databases.
+- Model that ordering as a real DI dependency.
+- Do not call `GlobalOpenTelemetry.set(...)` or `buildAndRegisterGlobal()` in
+  multiple places.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 - Add the dependency
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+  <groupId>io.ebean</groupId>
+  <artifactId>ebean-opentelemetry</artifactId>
+  <version>${ebean.version}</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+The module registers the Ebean OpenTelemetry profile handler via `ServiceLoader`.
+No manual Ebean plugin registration is normally required.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 - Build OpenTelemetry before Ebean databases
+
+Create one application-owned OpenTelemetry bean. For example, when using
+`avaje-metrics-otel`:
+
+```java
+import io.avaje.config.Configuration;
+import io.avaje.inject.Bean;
+import io.avaje.inject.Factory;
+import io.avaje.metrics.otel.MetricsOpenTelemetry;
+import io.opentelemetry.api.OpenTelemetry;
+
+import java.time.Duration;
+
+@Factory
+class OpenTelemetryConfig {
+
+  @Bean
+  OpenTelemetry openTelemetry(Configuration config) {
+    return MetricsOpenTelemetry.builder()
+      .endpoint(config.get("otel.endpoint"))
+      .serviceName(config.get("otel.serviceName", "orders"))
+      .deploymentEnvironmentName(config.get("app.env", "local"))
+      .meterInterval(Duration.ofSeconds(30))
+      .traceInterval(Duration.ofSeconds(30))
+      .buildAndRegisterGlobal();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If you build the SDK directly, use the same principle: create the SDK once and
+register that instance globally before any Ebean databases are built.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 - Make database beans depend on OpenTelemetry
+
+In DI code, make the `Database` bean method accept `OpenTelemetry`. This parameter
+is intentionally present to make startup order deterministic: OpenTelemetry is
+created and registered before Ebean configures the database and profile handler.
+
+```java
+import io.avaje.config.Configuration;
+import io.avaje.inject.Bean;
+import io.avaje.inject.Factory;
+import io.ebean.Database;
+import io.ebean.datasource.DataSourceBuilder;
+import io.opentelemetry.api.OpenTelemetry;
+
+@Factory
+class DatabaseConfig {
+
+  @Bean
+  Database database(OpenTelemetry openTelemetry, Configuration config) {
+    var dataSource = DataSourceBuilder.create()
+      .url(config.get("db.url"))
+      .username(config.get("db.username"))
+      .password(config.get("db.password"));
+
+    return Database.builder()
+      .name("db")
+      .dataSourceBuilder(dataSource)
+      .build();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For Spring, use the same dependency shape: either inject `OpenTelemetry` into the
+database `@Bean` method or use `@DependsOn` to ensure the OpenTelemetry bean is
+initialized first.
+
+Do not invert the dependency by making OpenTelemetry depend on the Ebean
+`Database`. That creates a startup cycle and can still initialize Ebean before the
+global OpenTelemetry instance is ready.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 - Create a parent span at the application boundary
+
+Ebean transaction spans are child spans. They are only created when a recording
+OpenTelemetry span is active on the current thread.
+
+Use HTTP server instrumentation, Lambda instrumentation, or an application-level
+root span around the top-level request/job boundary. Ebean will then attach
+transaction spans beneath that current span.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `GlobalOpenTelemetry.set has already been called`
+
+This usually means more than one component is trying to register a global SDK, or
+some startup path touched the global before the application registered its SDK.
+
+Fixes:
+
+1. Keep exactly one `buildAndRegisterGlobal()` / `GlobalOpenTelemetry.set(...)`
+   call in the application.
+2. Build that OpenTelemetry bean before Ebean `Database` beans.
+3. Remove duplicate OTEL setup from tests, helper factories, or secondary modules.
+
+### No Ebean spans appear
+
+Check:
+
+1. `ebean-opentelemetry` is on the runtime classpath.
+2. OpenTelemetry is registered before Ebean databases are built.
+3. There is a current recording parent span when Ebean transactions run.
+4. Sampling is not dropping the parent trace.

+# Guide: `@DbJson` / `@DbJsonB` mapping support — built-in vs Jackson ObjectMapper
+
+## Purpose
+
+Ebean can map `@DbJson` and `@DbJsonB` properties in two ways:
+
+- **Built-in** JSON support, backed by **avaje-json-core** — no extra dependency.
+- **Jackson `ObjectMapper`**, provided by the **`ebean-jackson-mapper`** module — used
+  for everything the built-in support does not handle.
+
+This guide lists exactly which property types are handled built-in and which require
+`ebean-jackson-mapper`.
+
+> If a property type is **not** handled built-in and `ebean-jackson-mapper` is not on the
+> classpath, Ebean fails fast at startup:
+>
+> ```text
+> Unsupported @DbJson mapping - Missing dependency ebean-jackson-mapper?
+> Jackson ObjectMapper not present for <property>
+> ```
+
+---
+
+## Quick reference
+
+| Property type | Built-in (avaje-json-core) | Needs `ebean-jackson-mapper` |
+|---|:---:|:---:|
+| `String` | ✅ | |
+| `List<String>`, `List<Long>` | ✅ | |
+| `Set<String>`, `Set<Long>` | ✅ | |
+| `Map<String, Object>`, `Map<String, ?>` | ✅ | |
+| `Map<String, String>` | ✅ | |
+| `Map<Enum, Object>`, `Map<Enum, String>` | ✅ | |
+| `List`/`Set` of any other element type (`Integer`, `Double`, `UUID`, `LocalDate`, an enum, a POJO, …) | | ✅ |
+| `Map` with a typed value other than `String`/`Object` (`Map<String,Integer>`, `Map<String,UUID>`, …) | | ✅ |
+| `Map` with a key other than `String` or an enum (`Map<Integer, …>`, `Map<UUID, …>`) | | ✅ |
+| POJOs, records, or any other type | | ✅ |
+
+---
+
+## Built-in support (no Jackson required)
+
+The built-in path materialises JSON into the *natural* JSON value types
+(`String`, `Long`, `BigDecimal`, `Boolean`, `Map`, `List`). It is therefore type-safe only
+for the following declared property types:
+
+- **`String`** — stored as raw JSON text.
+- **`List<String>`** and **`List<Long>`**.
+- **`Set<String>`** and **`Set<Long>`**.
+- **`Map<K, V>`** where:
+  - the key `K` is `String` or an **enum**, and
+  - the value `V` is `Object`, `String`, or a wildcard `?`.
+
+  So `Map<String,Object>`, `Map<String,String>`, `Map<Enum,Object>` and `Map<Enum,String>`
+  are all built-in.
+
+These mappings work across all supported storage types — `VARCHAR`, `CLOB`, `BLOB`, and
+Postgres `json` / `jsonb` — without `ebean-jackson-mapper`.
+
+---
+
+## Everything else → Jackson `ObjectMapper`
+
+Any other `@DbJson` / `@DbJsonB` property routes to the Jackson `ObjectMapper` path, which
+requires `ebean-jackson-mapper`:
+
+- **Typed collections** — `List`/`Set` whose element type is not `String` or `Long`
+  (for example `List<Integer>`, `List<UUID>`, `List<LocalDate>`, `List<MyEnum>`, `List<MyPojo>`).
+- **Typed-value maps** — a `Map` value type other than `String`/`Object`
+  (for example `Map<String,Integer>`, `Map<String,UUID>`, `Map<String,MyPojo>`).
+- **Non-`String`/non-enum map keys** — for example `Map<Integer,Object>`, `Map<UUID,String>`.
+- **POJOs, records, and any other custom type.**
+
+> **Jackson marker annotation override:** if the **field or getter** carries a Jackson annotation
+> (anything meta-annotated with `com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JacksonAnnotation`), Ebean
+> uses the `ObjectMapper` path even when the type would otherwise be handled built-in.
+
+---
+
+## Adding `ebean-jackson-mapper`
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+  <groupId>io.ebean</groupId>
+  <artifactId>ebean-jackson-mapper</artifactId>
+  <version>${ebean.version}</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+A Jackson `ObjectMapper` must be available (via `jackson-databind`). Ebean detects it and
+registers the mapper-based JSON support automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Enum map keys** are serialised using the enum `name()` (for example `ACTIVE`), not any
+  `@DbEnumValue` mapping. Round-trips are correct; the DB value mapping is not applied to
+  JSON keys.
+- **`@DbArray` alternative:** for typed *scalar* collections (`List`/`Set` of `Integer`,
+  `Long`, `UUID`, `Double`, an enum, …) consider `@DbArray`, which maps to a native DB array
+  (with a JSON fallback on platforms without array support) and supports more element types
+  than built-in `@DbJson` collections.
+- The reason typed value/element collections need a real mapper is that the built-in path
+  only produces natural JSON types — for example a JSON number always parses to `Long`, so a
+  declared `List<Integer>` or `Map<String,Integer>` could not be populated safely without a
+  type-aware mapper.
+
+---
+
+## Choosing
+
+- Prefer the **built-in** mappings for the common cases (`String`, string/long lists and sets,
+  object/string maps) to avoid pulling in Jackson.
+- Add **`ebean-jackson-mapper`** when you need rich POJO JSON columns or typed collections /
+  typed-value maps.

+# Guide: Ebean query metrics and naming
+
+## Purpose
+
+This guide explains the metrics Ebean captures, how the metric **name** for a query
+is derived, and how you influence that name with `setLabel(..)` and **profile
+locations**. It also covers secondary (lazy / query) load naming, the inline SQL
+comment, collecting metrics at runtime, and how the names map to avaje-metrics tags.
+
+Use this guide when you want to identify a query in metrics/telemetry, when a query
+shows up under an unexpected metric name, or when wiring Ebean metrics into a reporter.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Ebean records timing and counter metrics for the work it does. Every metric has a
+**name** whose leading segment identifies the kind of work:
+
+| Prefix | What it measures | Example name |
+|---|---|---|
+| `orm.` | Entity (ORM) query | `orm.Customer.findList`, `orm.CustomerFinder.byName` |
+| `dto.` | DTO query | `dto.CustomerDto.byEmail` |
+| `sql.query.` | Raw SQL query | `sql.query.<label>` |
+| `sql.update.` / `sql.call.` | Raw SQL update / stored procedure call | `sql.update.<label>` |
+| `orm.update.` | ORM update statement | `orm.update.<label>` |
+| `iud.` | Bean insert / update / delete | `iud.Customer.insert` |
+| `txn.main` / `txn.readonly` / `txn.named.` | Transactions | `txn.main`, `txn.named.processOrders` |
+| `l2n.` | L2 cache region | `l2n.customer.hit` |
+
+The rest of this guide focuses on **`orm.` query names**, which is where labels and
+profile locations apply.
+
+---
+
+## How an ORM query name is derived
+
+An entity query name has the form `orm.<identifier>`. The `<identifier>` comes from one
+of three sources, in priority order:
+
+1. **An explicit `setLabel(..)`** — prefixed with the bean type for disambiguation.
+2. **A profile location** — used as-is (it is already a unique `Class.method` identifier).
+3. **Neither** — the bean type plus the query type (e.g. `findList`).
+
+| Root query source | Resulting name |
+|---|---|
+| `setLabel("custMain")` on `Customer` | `orm.Customer.custMain` |
+| Profile location `CustomerFinder.byName` | `orm.CustomerFinder.byName` |
+| Unlabelled `DB.find(Customer.class).findList()` | `orm.Customer.findList` |
+
+The asymmetry is intentional: an explicit label is a short, ambiguous token (`custMain`
+could be used for any bean), so the bean type is prefixed. A profile location is already
+unique and type-independent, so it is used as-is.
+
+### Step 1 - Label a query explicitly
+
+```java
+List<Customer> customers = DB.find(Customer.class)
+  .setLabel("custMain")
+  .findList();
+// metric name: orm.Customer.custMain
+```
+
+DTO queries support `setLabel(..)` too, and follow the **same naming convention** as
+ORM queries — an explicit label is prefixed with the DTO type, a profile location is
+used as-is, and an unlabelled DTO query uses just the DTO type:
+
+```java
+DB.findDto(CustomerDto.class, sql)
+  .setLabel("byEmail")
+  .findList();
+// metric name: dto.CustomerDto.byEmail
+//   profile location only ->  dto.<location>      (no type prefix)
+//   unlabelled            ->  dto.CustomerDto
+```
+
+### Step 2 - Use a profile location (preferred for finders / query beans)
+
+A profile location identifies a query by its **call site** (`Class.method`) instead of a
+hand-written label.
+
+**The common case is automatic.** With Ebean's byte-code enhancement enabled (the normal
+setup when using query beans / finders), Ebean assigns each query a profile location
+derived from its call site — no code is required:
+
+```java
+List<Customer> customers = new QCustomer()
+  .status.eq(Status.ACTIVE)
+  .findList();
+// metric name: orm.<CallingClass>.<method>  (often with a line number, see below)
+```
+
+The enhancer derives the location from the calling code (the method that runs the query),
+and for many call sites it includes the **source line number** (e.g.
+`CustomerService.find:42`), so distinct call sites — even in the same method — get distinct
+names automatically.
+
+**Setting one explicitly.** You can also set a profile location yourself, which is useful
+without enhancement or to control the identity:
+
+```java
+ProfileLocation LOC = ProfileLocation.create();
+
+List<Customer> customers = DB.find(Customer.class)
+  .setProfileLocation(LOC)
+  .where().eq("status", Status.ACTIVE)
+  .findList();
+// metric name: orm.<DeclaringClass>.<method>
+```
+
+Factory choices:
+
+- `ProfileLocation.create()` — call site as `Class.method`, **no line number**.
+- `ProfileLocation.createWithLine()` — includes the source line number
+  (e.g. `CustomerService.find:42`), so two queries in the **same method** get
+  **distinct** names.
+- `ProfileLocation.create("label")` — a named location (used for named transactions).
+
+> Note: a location with no line number (`create()`, or a call site the enhancer emits
+> without a line) means two different queries in the same method share one name. The
+> queried entity is still distinguishable downstream via the avaje-metrics `type` tag
+> (see "Mapping to avaje-metrics tags" below). Use `createWithLine()` to separate
+> same-method call sites in the name itself.
+
+---
+
+## Secondary (lazy / query) load naming
+
+When a query lazy-loads or `fetchQuery()`-loads an association, Ebean issues a
+**secondary** query. Its name **extends the parent query's full name** with the relative
+path and the load mode (`lazy` or `query`), joined with `.`:
+
+```
+orm.<parent name without the "orm." prefix>.<path>.<loadMode>
+```
+
+So a secondary load is always an exact extension of its parent metric name, which makes
+the relationship obvious in dashboards.
+
+Example — root labelled `custMain` on `Customer`, chain `Customer -> orders -> details`:
+
+Lazy loading:
+```
+orm.Customer.custMain
+orm.Customer.custMain.orders.lazy
+orm.Customer.custMain.orders.lazy.details.lazy
+```
+
+Secondary eager `fetchQuery()` loading:
+```
+orm.Customer.custMain
+orm.Customer.custMain.orders.query
+orm.Customer.custMain.orders.query.details.query
+```
+
+The same applies with a **profile-location** root (no explicit `setLabel`):
+```
+orm.CustomerFinder.byName
+orm.CustomerFinder.byName.contacts.lazy
+```
+
+Unlike the root query, the secondary name is **not** bean-type prefixed by the loaded
+type — it inherits the parent's name so it relates back to where the load originated.
+
+---
+
+## Inline SQL comment
+
+When `includeLabelInSql` is enabled (the default), Ebean prepends the query's label (or
+profile-location label) as an inline SQL comment, which is useful for matching slow
+queries in database logs back to application code:
+
+```sql
+select /* CustomerFinder.byName */ t0.id, t0.name from be_customer t0 where ...
+```
+
+The comment uses the explicit `setLabel(..)` if present, otherwise the profile-location
+label. Secondary queries use their full extended name
+(e.g. `/* Customer.custMain.contacts.query */`). `EXISTS` / subquery forms are not
+commented.
+
+Disable it via the builder:
+
+```java
+Database.builder()
+  .includeLabelInSql(false)
+  .build();
+```
+
+---
+
+## Collecting metrics at runtime
+
+Read collected metrics through `Database.metaInfo()`:
+
+```java
+import io.ebean.meta.MetaQueryMetric;
+import io.ebean.meta.ServerMetrics;
+
+ServerMetrics metrics = database.metaInfo().collectMetrics(); // resets counters
+
+for (MetaQueryMetric q : metrics.queryMetrics()) {
+  System.out.printf("%s type=%s count=%d total=%d mean=%d%n",
+    q.name(),                 // e.g. orm.Customer.custMain
+    q.type().getSimpleName(), // the queried bean/DTO type, e.g. Customer
+    q.count(), q.total(), q.mean());
+}
+```
+
+Key API:
+
+- `database.metaInfo()` → `MetaInfoManager`.
+- `collectMetrics()` collects and **resets**; `collectMetrics(false)` collects without
+  reset; `visitMetrics(visitor)` for streaming.
+- `ServerMetrics` exposes `queryMetrics()`, `timedMetrics()`, `countMetrics()`.
+- `MetaQueryMetric` exposes `name()`, `label()`, `type()` (the queried `Class<?>`),
+  `sql()`, `hash()`, plus timing `count()` / `total()` / `max()` / `mean()`.
+
+---
+
+## Mapping to avaje-metrics tags
+
+When integrating with **avaje-metrics** (`avaje-metrics-ebean`
+`DatabaseMetricSupplier`), the flat `orm.`/`dto.`/`sql.` names are translated to a tagged
+form, with the bean type carried as a `type` tag:
+
+```
+ebean.query{kind=orm|dto|sql, type=<BeanSimpleName>, label=<rest of the name>}
+```
+
+Because the entity is available as the `type` tag, two different-entity queries that
+share a profile-location name remain distinct series on tag-aware backends (OpenTelemetry,
+Prometheus, StatsD) without needing the bean type in the name.
+
+For the integration setup, see the avaje-metrics guide
+[`add-ebean-metrics.md`](https://github.com/avaje/avaje-metrics/blob/master/docs/guides/add-ebean-metrics.md).
+
+To capture the database execution plan (`EXPLAIN`) for slow queries identified by these
+metrics, see [Ebean query plan capture](ebean-query-plan-capture.md).
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### A query shows up as `orm.<Bean>.findList` (no useful identity)
+
+It has neither a label nor a profile location. Add `setLabel(..)` or a
+`ProfileLocation`, or apply a profile location on the finder / query bean.
+
+### Two queries in one method share a metric name
+
+This happens when the profile location for those call sites has no line number. With
+enhancement, many call sites already include a line number; for those that don't, use
+`ProfileLocation.createWithLine()` to separate them by line, or give each an explicit
+`setLabel(..)`. On tag-aware backends the avaje-metrics `type` tag already separates
+different entity types.
+
+### A secondary (lazy / query) load isn't grouped under its parent
+
+Secondary names extend the parent's full name. If the parent has no label or profile
+location, its name falls back to `orm.<Bean>.<queryType>` and the secondary extends
+that. Give the root query a label or profile location for a stable parent name.

+# Guide: Ebean query plan capture
+
+## Purpose
+
+This guide explains how to enable and configure **query plan capture** in Ebean — the
+mechanism that captures the database's actual execution plan (via `EXPLAIN`) for slow
+queries, so you can diagnose missing indexes and poor plans in production.
+
+Use this guide when you want Ebean to record real query plans, when tuning the capture
+thresholds and load limits, or when wiring a listener to ship captured plans somewhere.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Query plan capture is a **two-phase** mechanism:
+
+1. **Bind capture** — when enabled, Ebean watches query executions and, for queries
+   slower than a threshold, captures the actual **bind values** that were used. This is
+   cheap: it just remembers the parameters of a slow execution.
+2. **Plan capture** — using those captured bind values, Ebean runs `EXPLAIN <sql>`
+   against the database to obtain the execution plan, producing `MetaQueryPlan` results
+   that are handed to a `QueryPlanListener`.
+
+Plan capture is split this way so the expensive `EXPLAIN` work (actual database load)
+happens periodically or on demand, against representative bind values, rather than on
+every slow query.
+
+Two ways to trigger phase 2:
+
+- **Automatic periodic capture** — a background timer collects plans on a schedule.
+- **On demand** — call the `MetaInfoManager` API to arm and collect plans yourself
+  (this is what remote tooling such as ebean-insight uses).
+
+Plan capable queries are:
+
+- **ORM entity SELECT queries** (`orm.*` metrics) — captured via the per-entity `BeanDescriptor`.
+- **Native-SQL `DtoQuery`** (`dto.*` metrics) — a `DtoQuery` created from a SQL string
+  (`DB.findDto(MyDto.class, "select ...")`) has its own bind capture and is `EXPLAIN`'d directly.
+- **ORM-backed `DtoQuery`** (`Query.asDto(...)`) — captured via the *underlying* ORM query plan
+  (`orm.*`), not the `dto.*` plan. The `dto.*` plan itself is **not** armed in this case, so it
+  does not double-count in `queryPlanInit`.
+- **Native-SQL `SqlQuery`** (`sql.query.*` metrics) — a **labelled** `SqlQuery`
+  (`DB.sqlQuery("select ...").setLabel("myLabel")`) has its own bind capture and is `EXPLAIN`'d
+  directly. A label is required: without `setLabel(...)` the query produces no metric and no plan.
+
+Specifically **excluded** are:
+
+- **Update / DML** — `orm.update.*`, `iud.*`, `sql.update.*`, `sql.call.*`.
+
+Bind capture is wired into the ORM query path (per-entity `BeanDescriptor`), the native-SQL DTO
+path (per-DTO `DtoBeanDescriptor`), and the native-SQL `SqlQuery` path (the relational query
+engine); the init/collect API iterates all three. DML — even though it produces timing metrics —
+never captures bind values and cannot be `EXPLAIN`'d.
+
+> **Cost when disabled:** SqlQuery plan capture is fully gated on the `queryPlan.enable` master
+> switch. When capture is disabled no `SqlQuery` plans are created or cached, so labelled queries
+> incur no extra cost beyond their existing timing metric.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 - Enable bind capture
+
+Bind capture is the master switch; nothing is captured until it is on.
+
+> **Security — bind values may contain PII.** Bind capture records the **actual
+> parameter values** used by slow query executions, and those values are stored
+> and shown verbatim in the captured plan output (alongside the SQL and EXPLAIN
+> plan). They can therefore contain personal or otherwise sensitive data. Capture
+> is opt-in and off by default (`queryPlan.enable=false`): only enable it where
+> that data exposure is acceptable, restrict who can read captured plans, and
+> prefer arming specific query hashes (Step 3) over a low global threshold so you
+> capture the minimum needed.
+
+```java
+Database database = Database.builder()
+  .queryPlanEnable(true)               // turn on bind capture
+  .queryPlanThresholdMicros(100_000)   // capture binds for queries slower than 100ms
+  .build();
+```
+
+- `queryPlanEnable(boolean)` — enable bind capture. Default **false**.
+- `queryPlanThresholdMicros(long)` — global execution-time threshold (microseconds) a
+  query must exceed before its bind values are captured. Default **`Long.MAX_VALUE`**
+  (effectively off), so you must either lower it or arm specific plans by hash (Step 3).
+
+Equivalent `application.properties` (avaje-config / properties):
+
+```properties
+queryPlan.enable=true
+queryPlan.thresholdMicros=100000
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 - Enable automatic periodic capture (optional)
+
+To have Ebean periodically run `EXPLAIN` for armed queries and report the plans:
+
+```java
+Database database = Database.builder()
+  .queryPlanEnable(true)
+  .queryPlanThresholdMicros(100_000)
+  .queryPlanCapture(true)                  // turn on the periodic capture timer
+  .queryPlanCapturePeriodSecs(600)         // every 10 minutes (default)
+  .queryPlanCaptureMaxTimeMillis(10_000)   // stop after 10s of capturing per cycle
+  .queryPlanCaptureMaxCount(10)            // at most 10 plans per cycle
+  .queryPlanListener(capture -> {
+    for (var plan : capture.plans()) {
+      System.out.println(plan.label() + "\n" + plan.plan());
+    }
+  })
+  .build();
+```
+
+- `queryPlanCapture(boolean)` — enable the background periodic capture. Default **false**.
+- `queryPlanCapturePeriodSecs(long)` — capture frequency in seconds. Default **600** (10 min).
+- `queryPlanCaptureMaxTimeMillis(long)` — per-cycle time budget; capture stops once
+  exceeded, bounding the database load. Default **10000** (10s).
+- `queryPlanCaptureMaxCount(int)` — max plans captured per cycle. Default **10**.
+- `queryPlanListener(QueryPlanListener)` — receives each `QueryPlanCapture`. If not set,
+  the default listener logs plans to the `io.ebean.QUERYPLAN` logger at `INFO`.
+
+Properties form:
+
+```properties
+queryPlan.enable=true
+queryPlan.thresholdMicros=100000
+queryPlan.capture=true
+queryPlan.capturePeriodSecs=600
+queryPlan.captureMaxTimeMillis=10000
+queryPlan.captureMaxCount=10
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 - Capture on demand (foreground)
+
+Instead of (or in addition to) the periodic timer, drive capture through
+`database.metaInfo()`. This is useful for targeted capture and is how remote tooling
+arms specific slow queries by their plan hash.
+
+```java
+import io.ebean.meta.MetaInfoManager;
+import io.ebean.meta.MetaQueryPlan;
+import io.ebean.meta.QueryPlanInit;
+import io.ebean.meta.QueryPlanRequest;
+
+MetaInfoManager meta = database.metaInfo();
+
+// Phase 1: arm bind capture - either all plans or specific hashes
+QueryPlanInit init = new QueryPlanInit();
+init.setAll(true);                 // or init.add("<planHash>", 50_000);
+init.thresholdMicros(100_000);
+List<MetaQueryPlan> armed = meta.queryPlanInit(init);
+
+// ... let the application run so slow executions capture their bind values ...
+
+// Phase 2: collect plans now (runs EXPLAIN)
+QueryPlanRequest request = new QueryPlanRequest();
+request.maxCount(10);
+request.maxTimeMillis(10_000);
+request.since(System.currentTimeMillis() - 300_000); // binds at least ~5 min old
+List<MetaQueryPlan> plans = meta.queryPlanCollectNow(request);
+```
+
+- `QueryPlanInit` arms bind capture. `setAll(true)` arms every plan; `add(hash, micros)`
+  arms a specific plan (a hash of `"all"` is treated as all).
+- `QueryPlanRequest.since(epochMillis)` ensures the captured bind values have existed for
+  a while, so they better represent the slowest executions. `maxCount` / `maxTimeMillis`
+  bound the work, mirroring the periodic settings.
+
+`MetaQueryPlan` exposes `beanType()`, `label()`, `profileLocation()`, `sql()`, `hash()`,
+`bind()`, `plan()` (the raw EXPLAIN output), `queryTimeMicros()`, `captureCount()`,
+`captureMicros()`, and `whenCaptured()`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 - EXPLAIN dialect
+
+Ebean chooses the `EXPLAIN` statement per database platform:
+
+| Platform | EXPLAIN used |
+|---|---|
+| PostgreSQL | `explain (analyze, costs, verbose, buffers) <sql>` |
+| YugabyteDB | `explain (analyze, buffers, dist) <sql>` |
+| Oracle | `EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <sql>` |
+| SQL Server | platform-specific logger |
+| H2 / MySQL / other | `explain <sql>` |
+
+Override the prefix with `queryPlanExplain(..)` (or `queryPlan.explain`):
+
+```java
+Database.builder()
+  .queryPlanExplain("explain (costs, verbose)") // omit ANALYZE on Postgres
+  .build();
+```
+
+> **Caution (PostgreSQL / Yugabyte):** the default includes `ANALYZE`, which **actually
+> executes** the query to produce real timings. For non-idempotent or expensive queries,
+> override with a non-ANALYZE `explain` to avoid side effects and extra load.
+
+---
+
+## Related setting: internal plan TTL
+
+`queryPlanTTLSeconds(int)` (default **300**) is a **different** concept — it is the time to
+live for Ebean's *internal* query plan (the object that knows how to execute a query, read
+the result set and collect metrics). It is not part of EXPLAIN capture, but is set through
+the same builder.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No plans are captured
+
+1. `queryPlanEnable(true)` must be set — it is the master switch.
+2. `queryPlanThresholdMicros` defaults to `Long.MAX_VALUE`. Lower it, or arm specific
+   plans via `QueryPlanInit`, otherwise no execution is ever "slow enough".
+3. For periodic capture, also set `queryPlanCapture(true)`.
+4. Queries must actually run slower than the threshold to have their binds captured.
+
+### Plans appear but nothing is reported anywhere
+
+No `queryPlanListener` is configured, so plans go to the default `io.ebean.QUERYPLAN`
+logger. Set a listener, or enable `INFO` logging for `io.ebean.QUERYPLAN`.
+
+### Capture adds noticeable database load
+
+`EXPLAIN ANALYZE` executes the query. Reduce `queryPlanCaptureMaxCount`, increase
+`queryPlanCapturePeriodSecs`, tighten `queryPlanCaptureMaxTimeMillis`, or override
+`queryPlanExplain` to a non-ANALYZE form.
+
+### An unlabelled SqlQuery or update metric never offers plan capture
+
+ORM entity SELECT queries (`orm.*`), native-SQL `DtoQuery` (`dto.*`) and native-SQL
+**labelled** `SqlQuery` (`sql.query.*`) are plan capable. ORM-backed DTO queries
+(`Query.asDto(...)`) are captured via their underlying ORM plan (`orm.*`), not the `dto.*` plan.
+An unlabelled `SqlQuery` produces no metric and no plan — add `setLabel(...)` to make it
+capturable. Write metrics (`orm.update.*`, `iud.*`, `sql.update.*`, `sql.call.*`) have no bind
+capture and are intentionally excluded.

+# Guide: Migrate JSON APIs from Jackson core to avaje-json-core
+
+## Purpose
+
+This guide covers the one-step cutover in Ebean from Jackson core JSON APIs to
+avaje-json-core APIs.
+
+Use this when upgrading code that references:
+
+- `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser`
+- `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator`
+- `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonFactory`
+
+The replacement types are:
+
+- `io.avaje.json.JsonReader`
+- `io.avaje.json.JsonWriter`
+- `io.avaje.json.stream.JsonStream`
+
+---
+
+## Breaking API changes
+
+| Previous API | New API |
+|---|---|
+| `JsonParser` | `JsonReader` |
+| `JsonGenerator` | `JsonWriter` |
+| `JsonFactory` | `JsonStream` |
+| `DatabaseBuilder.jsonFactory(...)` | `DatabaseBuilder.jsonStream(...)` |
+| `DatabaseConfig.getJsonFactory()/setJsonFactory(...)` | `DatabaseConfig.getJsonStream()/setJsonStream(...)` |
+
+---
+
+## Typical migration rewrites
+
+### Parser and generator signatures
+
+```java
+// before
+void read(JsonParser parser)
+void write(JsonGenerator generator)
+
+// after
+void read(JsonReader parser)
+void write(JsonWriter generator)
+```
+
+### Database configuration
+
+```java
+// before
+Database.builder().jsonFactory(factory)
+
+// after
+Database.builder().jsonStream(stream)
+```
+
+### JSON utility calls
+
+`EJson` and `JsonContext` APIs now operate on `JsonReader` and `JsonWriter` types.
+If your code was calling those APIs with Jackson core types, switch to avaje types.
+
+---
+
+## Dependency and module notes
+
+- `ebean-core` no longer requires a direct `jackson-core` dependency for JSON
+  parsing/writing.
+- `jackson-databind` remains optional for `ObjectMapper` compatibility paths.
+- `ebean-jackson-mapper` remains the compatibility bridge module for mapper-based
+  integrations.
+
+---
+
+## Behavior notes to verify during upgrade
+
+1. Parser token handling is now based on avaje `JsonReader.Token`.
+2. Scalar JSON reads (for example booleans, date-time, array scalar types) should
+   be validated in your tests if you previously depended on Jackson token quirks.
+3. If your integration uses transient assoc-many JSON mapping with ObjectMapper,
+   keep ObjectMapper wiring enabled.
+
+---
+
+## Validation checklist
+
+1. Compile all modules that implement or consume `io.ebean.text.json` APIs.
+2. Run module tests that cover JSON scalar conversion and bean JSON round-trips.
+3. Confirm no remaining `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.*` imports in migrated code.
+4. Keep `ObjectMapper` compatibility tests if your project depends on mapper paths.

+# Guide: Migrate from `DatabaseConfig` / `DatabaseFactory` to `Database.builder()`
+
+## Purpose
+
+This guide shows how to migrate legacy programmatic database creation code from:
+
+- `new DatabaseConfig()`
+- `DatabaseFactory.create(...)`
+- old `setXxx(...)` builder-style configuration methods
+
+…to the preferred builder-based style using:
+
+- `Database.builder()`
+- fluent `DatabaseBuilder` methods such as `name(...)`, `register(...)`, and `defaultDatabase(...)`
+- `DatabaseBuilder.build()`
+
+Use this guide when upgrading older Ebean setup code or when building an automated/semi-automated migration.
+
+---
+
+## Preferred pattern
+
+Prefer code shaped like this:
+
+```java
+Database database = Database.builder()
+  .name("db")
+  .loadFromProperties()
+  .dataSourceBuilder(dataSource)
+  .register(true)
+  .defaultDatabase(true)
+  .build();
+```
+
+The important points are:
+
+1. Start with `Database.builder()`
+2. Configure via `DatabaseBuilder`
+3. Finish with `.build()`
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Replace `new DatabaseConfig()` with `Database.builder()`
+
+### Before
+
+```java
+DatabaseConfig config = new DatabaseConfig();
+config.setName("db");
+config.loadFromProperties();
+```
+
+### After
+
+```java
+DatabaseBuilder config = Database.builder()
+  .name("db")
+  .loadFromProperties();
+```
+
+### Notes
+
+- Prefer the `DatabaseBuilder` type for local variables and parameters when possible.
+- If existing code only uses standard builder methods, this change is usually mechanical.
+- If existing code later reads configuration back, use `config.settings()`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — Replace `DatabaseFactory.create(config)` with `config.build()`
+
+### Before
+
+```java
+DatabaseConfig config = new DatabaseConfig();
+config.setName("db");
+config.loadFromProperties();
+Database database = DatabaseFactory.create(config);
+```
+
+### After
+
+```java
+DatabaseBuilder config = Database.builder()
+  .name("db")
+  .loadFromProperties();
+Database database = config.build();
+```
+
+### Short form
+
+```java
+Database database = Database.builder()
+  .name("db")
+  .loadFromProperties()
+  .build();
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — Replace `DatabaseFactory.create("name")`
+
+### Before
+
+```java
+Database database = DatabaseFactory.create("other");
+```
+
+### After
+
+```java
+Database database = Database.builder()
+  .name("other")
+  .loadFromProperties()
+  .build();
+```
+
+### Important
+
+For **named databases**, set `.name("...")` before `.loadFromProperties()` so the named configuration is loaded.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 — Replace legacy `setXxx(...)` methods with fluent builder methods
+
+`DatabaseBuilder` already exposes preferred fluent names for most configuration methods.
+Use those names when migrating older setup code.
+
+| Legacy call | Preferred call |
+|---|---|
+| `setName("db")` | `name("db")` |
+| `setRegister(false)` | `register(false)` |
+| `setDefaultServer(false)` | `defaultDatabase(false)` |
+| `setContainerConfig(cfg)` | `containerConfig(cfg)` |
+| `setDbSchema("app")` | `dbSchema("app")` |
+| `setDataSourceConfig(ds)` | `dataSourceBuilder(ds)` |
+| `setReadOnlyDataSourceConfig(ro)` | `readOnlyDataSourceBuilder(ro)` |
+| `setRunMigration(true)` | `runMigration(true)` |
+| `setDisableClasspathSearch(true)` | `disableClasspathSearch(true)` |
+| `setPersistBatch(batch)` | `persistBatch(batch)` |
+
+### Full example
+
+#### Before
+
+```java
+DatabaseConfig config = new DatabaseConfig();
+config.setName("db");
+config.setRegister(false);
+config.setDefaultServer(false);
+config.setDataSourceConfig(dataSource);
+Database database = DatabaseFactory.create(config);
+```
+
+#### After
+
+```java
+Database database = Database.builder()
+  .name("db")
+  .register(false)
+  .defaultDatabase(false)
+  .dataSourceBuilder(dataSource)
+  .build();
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 — Verify semantics after migration
+
+The migration should preserve behavior, but verify these points:
+
+- `register(true)` is still the default
+- `defaultDatabase(true)` is still the default
+- call `loadFromProperties()` if the old code loaded configuration from properties
+- for named databases, set the name before loading properties
+- explicit entity registration via `addClass(...)` / `addAll(...)` is unchanged
+- custom datasource wiring via `dataSourceBuilder(...)` and `readOnlyDataSourceBuilder(...)` is unchanged
+
+---
+
+## Manual-review cases
+
+These cases are **not** simple search-and-replace migrations and should be reviewed manually:
+
+### `DatabaseFactory.createWithContextClassLoader(...)`
+
+There is no direct builder shorthand for this today. Keep this as-is for now and migrate the surrounding builder configuration first.
+
+### `DatabaseFactory.initialiseContainer(...)`
+
+This is a container lifecycle concern, not a normal database-builder call. Keep it as-is unless you are intentionally moving the `ContainerConfig` onto the first builder via `containerConfig(...)`.
+
+### `DatabaseFactory.shutdown()`
+
+This is also a lifecycle concern rather than normal builder setup. Leave it alone unless you are making a deliberate lifecycle change.
+
+### Variables or method signatures typed as `DatabaseConfig`
+
+If the code only uses standard builder operations, switch the type to `DatabaseBuilder`.
+If the code depends on implementation-specific `DatabaseConfig` methods, review it manually.
+
+### Code that needs read access to builder settings
+
+Use:
+
+```java
+DatabaseBuilder builder = Database.builder();
+DatabaseBuilder.Settings settings = builder.settings();
+```
+
+rather than relying on the concrete `DatabaseConfig` type only to read getters.
+
+---
+
+## Automation notes for AI agents and bulk refactors
+
+This migration is a good candidate for semi-automated upgrading.
+
+### Safe mechanical rewrites
+
+These are usually safe to rewrite automatically:
+
+- `new DatabaseConfig()` → `Database.builder()`
+- `DatabaseFactory.create(builder)` → `builder.build()`
+- `DatabaseFactory.create("name")` → `Database.builder().name("name").loadFromProperties().build()`
+- legacy `setXxx(...)` calls → preferred fluent builder methods
+
+### Flag for manual review
+
+Automatically flag, but do not blindly rewrite:
+
+- `DatabaseFactory.createWithContextClassLoader(...)`
+- `DatabaseFactory.initialiseContainer(...)`
+- `DatabaseFactory.shutdown()`
+- parameters, fields, or return types declared as `DatabaseConfig`
+- any use that clearly depends on `DatabaseConfig` implementation details rather than `DatabaseBuilder`

+# Immutable Bean Cache — notes on multi-level / remote caching
+
+These notes capture design thoughts for a possible future multi-level immutable bean cache,
+where immutable beans may be cached remotely (for example Redis or a Postgres cache table)
+in addition to an in-JVM cache.
+
+## Current important constraint
+
+`AssocOneHelp.read()` now uses `ImmutableBeanCache.getIfPresent(id)` as a direct-hit fast path.
+
+That means:
+
+- `getIfPresent(id)` is on the **row read hot path**
+- it must remain **cheap and local**
+- it should **not** perform network I/O
+- it should **not** deserialize remote payloads
+- it should **not** trigger loading or record misses
+
+## Strong recommendation
+
+For any multi-level cache design:
+
+- **L1 cache** = in-JVM cache of already materialized immutable beans
+- **L2 cache** = remote/shared cache of serialized immutable snapshots
+- **Loader** = Ebean query using the configured fetch group
+
+With that split:
+
+- `getIfPresent(id)` => **L1 only**
+- `getAll(ids)` => batch through **L1 -> L2 -> loader**
+
+This preserves the `AssocOneHelp` fast path.
+
+---
+
+## Snapshot mindset
+
+Remote cache entries should be treated as **immutable snapshots**, not just arbitrary beans.
+
+A cached value is specific to:
+
+- bean type
+- bean id
+- tenant (if multi-tenant)
+- fetch-group / cache identity
+- serializer/schema version
+
+This matters because a `Customer` cached with:
+
+- `select("name,version")`
+
+is not equivalent to a `Customer` cached with:
+
+- `select("name,version").fetch("billingAddress", "line1,city")`
+
+## Key design recommendation
+
+Remote keys should include at least:
+
+- bean type
+- bean id
+- tenant id (if applicable)
+- cache/fetch-group identity
+- optionally serializer/schema version
+
+Example shape:
+
+- `immutable:Customer:basic:42`
+- `immutable:Customer:withAddresses:42`
+
+---
+
+## Recommended multi-level flow
+
+### L1
+
+Store actual read-only `EntityBean` instances.
+
+Responsibilities:
+
+- support `getIfPresent(id)`
+- avoid repeated deserialize cost
+- avoid network calls on row read path
+
+### L2
+
+Store serialized immutable snapshots.
+
+Responsibilities:
+
+- batch lookup only
+- support cross-JVM sharing
+- feed L1 with materialized immutable beans
+
+### Loader
+
+Use the existing query/fetch-group-based loader for misses.
+
+### Suggested `getAll(ids)` flow
+
+1. Check L1
+2. Batch remaining ids to L2
+3. Deserialize L2 hits into read-only beans
+4. Put those beans into L1
+5. Batch remaining misses to DB loader
+6. Freeze / ensure read-only beans
+7. Write through to L2
+8. Put into L1
+9. Negative-cache true misses if desired
+
+---
+
+## Invalidation is more important than serialization
+
+Things to think about:
+
+- update/delete invalidation across JVMs
+- local L1 invalidation when L2 entry is removed
+- ordering relative to DB commit
+- multiple cache instances for the same bean type but different fetch groups
+- tenant-scoped invalidation
+
+Recommended direction:
+
+- keep current immutable-cache invalidation semantics
+- add a remote invalidation/event mechanism for L2-backed caches
+- each JVM should evict affected L1 entries when notified
+
+Examples:
+
+- Redis: pub/sub or streams
+- Postgres cache table: NOTIFY/listen, polling, or invalidation table/outbox pattern
+
+---
+
+## Serialization format considerations
+
+## JSON
+
+### Pros
+
+- human readable / debuggable
+- easier rolling upgrades
+- field-name based, so generally more tolerant of schema evolution
+- good fit for Redis strings or Postgres JSONB
+- easier operational debugging
+
+### Cons
+
+- larger payloads
+- more CPU to serialize/deserialize
+- nested graphs / enums / dates / inheritance need disciplined handling
+
+## Kryo / generic binary serialization
+
+### Pros
+
+- smaller payloads
+- often faster than JSON
+- can preserve object graphs efficiently
+
+### Cons
+
+- more fragile across versions and rolling deploys
+- class registration / compatibility pain
+- harder to inspect/debug
+- tighter coupling to JVM/class layout
+- riskier for long-lived shared cache entries
+
+## Recommendation
+
+For a first remote/shared implementation:
+
+- prefer **JSON** or another self-describing structured format
+- if a binary format is later needed, prefer a stable schema-based format over generic object-graph serialization
+- **do not start with Kryo** unless short-lived entries and tight deployment coordination are acceptable
+
+---
+
+## What to serialize
+
+Avoid thinking in terms of serializing arbitrary live entity bean graphs directly.
+
+A cleaner model is:
+
+- serialize a **snapshot representation**
+- deserialize into a fresh entity bean
+- mark loaded properties appropriately
+- freeze / ensure read-only state
+- store the resulting materialized bean in L1
+
+This gives more control over:
+
+- loaded-property semantics
+- read-only state
+- subtype handling
+- schema/version evolution
+
+## Practical recommendation
+
+Remote cache entries should represent exactly the configured fetch-group snapshot.
+
+That means:
+
+- cache what the fetch group loaded
+- include nested associations loaded by that fetch group
+- treat it as a self-contained immutable snapshot
+
+This is simpler than trying to normalize the graph into many remote cache fragments and re-link it later.
+
+---
+
+## Redis vs Postgres cache table
+
+## Redis
+
+### Good for
+
+- low latency
+- batch lookup via MGET / pipelining
+- TTL/eviction support
+- natural shared-cache use case
+
+### Tradeoffs
+
+- extra infrastructure
+- memory cost
+- invalidation/event coordination still required
+
+## Postgres cache table (including unlogged-style approach)
+
+### Good for
+
+- simpler ops if Postgres is already present
+- easy batch lookup with `IN (...)`
+- fewer moving parts than introducing Redis
+
+### Tradeoffs
+
+- slower than Redis for hot shared-cache usage
+- adds pressure to Postgres
+- TTL/cleanup becomes application responsibility
+- still network/database I/O, so should remain off the `getIfPresent()` hot path
+
+## Recommendation
+
+- if the goal is a serious shared L2 cache, Redis is the more natural fit
+- if the goal is pragmatic shared caching with minimal extra infrastructure, Postgres can work but should still be treated as L2-only
+
+---
+
+## Versioning / evolution
+
+Whatever serializer is used, include versioning information.
+
+Useful dimensions:
+
+- serializer/schema version
+- cache implementation version
+- fetch-group/cache identity version
+
+This helps when:
+
+- fields are added/removed
+- graph shape changes
+- fetch-group definitions evolve
+
+---
+
+## Compression
+
+If remote snapshots become large:
+
+- compress only above a size threshold
+- avoid compressing tiny payloads
+
+This is especially relevant for JSON in Redis or Postgres L2.
+
+---
+
+## Observability
+
+A multi-level cache should expose at least:
+
+- L1 hit rate
+- L2 hit rate
+- DB loader rate
+- deserialize failures
+- invalidation counts
+- average payload size
+- cold-start amplification
+
+Without this, it will be hard to judge whether the remote cache is helping.
+
+---
+
+## Overall recommended architecture
+
+### Recommended model
+
+- **L1**: actual read-only `EntityBean` instances
+- **L2**: serialized immutable snapshots
+- **Loader**: fetch-group-based DB query
+
+### Method responsibilities
+
+- `getIfPresent(id)` => **L1 only**
+- `getAll(ids)` => **L1 + L2 + DB loader** in batches
+
+This aligns well with the current `AssocOneHelp` optimization and keeps the row-read path fast.
+
+---
+
+## Bottom line
+
+If/when multi-level immutable caching is explored, the main points to preserve are:
+
+1. keep `getIfPresent()` local-only
+2. do remote work only in batched `getAll()`
+3. key by type + id + tenant + fetch-group/cache identity
+4. treat remote values as immutable snapshots
+5. prefer JSON/self-describing format first
+6. be cautious with generic binary serializers like Kryo
+
+---
+
