2. WhatDoesJava'sHibernateMean? • AJavaframeworkcalledHibernatemanagesthe implementations internally and includes an abstraction layer. The implementations involve duties like creating a query for CRUD operationsorconnectingtodatabases,amongotherthings. • Aframeworkisessentiallyapieceofsoftwarethatoffers abstraction over many technologies, including JDBC, servlets, etc. • Persistencelogic,whichHibernatecreates,processes,and stores the data for later use. It has an advantage over other frameworksbecauseitisopen-source,lightweight,andanORM tool. WhatismeantbyORM? The programming approach is known as object-relational mapping, or ORM,whichmapsapplicationdomainmodelobjectstorelational database tables. A framework for mapping application domain objects torelationaldatabasetablesandviceversaisprovidedbythe Java-basedORM utilityknown asHibernate.

3. HowDoesAnORMToolWork? Itinvolvesmapping the database-stored item. Creating, modifying, and accessing data is made easier using an ORM tool.

Let's examine how it optimizes the jobs more effectively thanJDBC. 1.HibernateresolvestheJDBC'sdatabasedependencyissue.

Hibernatemakesthelinkbetweenobjects stronger. Itgetsaroundtheexception-handlingrequirementthatcomeswith dealingwith JDBC. Theobject-levelrelationshipisovercomebyHibernate. By solving the boilerplate issue, it shortens the code while improvingreadability. Hibernate overcomes all of JDBC's flaws to offer the best and most effective solutions for any assignment. Let's look at some of the many procedures, platforms, and databases we may use using the Java hibernateframework.

10. need to develop code to handle JDBC exceptions because Hibernate wrapsthemandthrowsJDBCExceptionorHibernateException uncheckedexceptions instead. The object-oriented Hibernate Query Language (HQL), which is comparable to the Java programming language, is more so. We must createnative SQLqueriesfor JDBC. JDBCqueriesarenotcached,thereforeperformanceispoor. Hibernateenablescaching,whichisbetter forperformance. Since JDBC tables need to be present in the database, Hibernate offersanalternativeviawhichwecanalsoconstructdatabasetables. Hibernate configuration enables us to use JNDI DataSource and JDBC-like sections for a connection pool. This is a crucial capability in enterpriseapplicationsthattheJDBCAPIabsolutelylacks. Since JPAannotations are supported by Hibernate, the code is independent of the implementation and is easily interchangeable with otherORMtools.JDBCcodeandtheapplicationareextremely closelyrelated.

11. Hibernatecachingenhancesapplicationspeedbypoolingtheobject in the cache. When we need to retrieve the same information more thanonce, it is helpful. CachingInHibernate Thetwoprimarytypesofcachingare: CachefromtheFirstLevel CacheatSecondLevel FirstLevelCache: Thefirst-levelcachedata is stored in the session object. It is by default turned on. The complete application won't have access to the first-levelcachedata.Manysessionobjectscanbeusedbyan application. CacheatSecondLevel: The second-level cache data is stored in the SessionFactory object. The entire program will have access to the information kept in the second-levelcache.However, wemust expresslyactivate it.
