Hibernate supports following strategies to support Inheritance mappings in database: Single Table or Table per class-hierarchy (InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE) Joined or Table per subclass (InheritanceType.JOINED) Table per class (InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS) Single Table strategy(aka Table per class-hierarchy) In this strategy, a single table is created for each class hierarchy. So, if we have a base class “Book” and …

In Hibernate, we can cache frequently used query results using Query cache. To enable Query cache, enable the “use_query_cache” property in hibernate.cfg.xml file : To use Query cache, we also need to set the cacheable property on the Query to true by invoking the Query.setCacheable() method. Hibernate Query Cache Example In the following example, we …

This cache is globally available via the SessionFactory class to the entire application. Hibernate comes with built-in support for caching libraries Ehcache and Infispan. However, any Cache provider can implement the org.hibernate.cache.spi.CacheProvider interface provided and provide …

The L1 cache ensures that …

In HQL, we use the class name in place of table name and property name in place of column name. HQL queries are internally converted to SQL by Hibernate. FROM clause Using just the From clause fetches all the …
