+== Unified JDBC Query/Update Operations: `JdbcClient`
+
+As of 6.1, the named parameter statements of `NamedParameterJdbcTemplate` and the positional
+parameter statements of a regular `JdbcTemplate` are available through a unified client API
+with a fluent interaction model.
+
+E.g. with named parameters:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	private JdbcClient jdbcClient = JdbcClient.create(dataSource);
+
+	public int countOfActorsByFirstName(String firstName) {
+		return this.jdbcClient.sql("select count(*) from t_actor where first_name = :first_name")
+                .param("first_name", firstName);
+                .query().singleValue(Integer.class);
+	}
+----
+
+E.g. with positional parameters:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	private JdbcClient jdbcClient = JdbcClient.create(dataSource);
+
+	public int countOfActorsByFirstName(String firstName) {
+		return this.jdbcClient.sql("select count(*) from t_actor where first_name = ?")
+                .param(firstName);
+                .query().singleValue(Integer.class);
+	}
+----
+
+`RowMapper` capabilities are available as well, with flexible result resolution:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	List<Actor> actors = this.jdbcClient.sql("select first_name, last_name from t_actor")
+			.query((rs, rowNum) -> new Actor(rs.getString("first_name"), rs.getString("last_name")))
+			.list();
+----
+
+With a required single object result:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	Actor actor = this.jdbcClient.sql("select first_name, last_name from t_actor where id = ?",
+            .param(1212L);
+			.query((rs, rowNum) -> new Actor(rs.getString("first_name"), rs.getString("last_name")))
+			.single();
+----
+
+With a `java.util.Optional` result:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	Optional<Actor> actor = this.jdbcClient.sql("select first_name, last_name from t_actor where id = ?",
+            .param(1212L);
+			.query((rs, rowNum) -> new Actor(rs.getString("first_name"), rs.getString("last_name")))
+			.optional();
+----
+
+And for an update statement:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+	this.jdbcClient.sql("insert into t_actor (first_name, last_name) values (?, ?)")
+			.param("Leonor").param("Watling");
+			.update();
+----
+
+NOTE: `JdbcClient` is a flexible but simplified facade for JDBC query/update statements.
+Advanced capabilities such as batch inserts and stored procedure calls typically require
+extra customization: consider Spring's `SimpleJdbcInsert` and `SimpleJdbcCall` classes or
+plain direct `JdbcTemplate` usage for any such capabilities not available on `JdbcClient`.
