Benefits of Hibernate - Notes Lyst1934

The document outlines the benefits of Hibernate, emphasizing its ability to handle low-level SQL queries, reduce JDBC code, and provide Object to Relational Mapping (ORM). It explains ORM as a technique that bridges programming objects and database tables, facilitating data manipulation in an object-oriented manner. Additionally, it includes a code example demonstrating Hibernate's use for CRUD operations and suggests optimizing code through template creation in the development environment.

DAY 2

Benefits of Hibernate

Benefits of Hibernate:
● Hibernate handles all low-level SQL queries
● It minimizes the JBDC code to be written
● It provides Object to Relational Mapping(ORM)

Let us understand what ORM means-

ORM stands for "Object to Relational Mapping" where

● The Object part is the one you use with your programming language.
● The Relational part is a Relational Database Management System i.e., database
● And finally, the Mapping part is where you do a bridge between your objects and your tables.

So in other words, Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) is a technique that lets you query and
manipulates data from a database using an object-oriented paradigm.
And we can perform this mapping either through XML configuration or Annotations.

In JDBC sessions we had seen how we can share data between the database and the java
applications.
Now with the help of Hibernate, we can make the job easier.
Hibernate internally makes use of JDBC APIs to establish connections with the database.

Important things to remember:


● Hibernate makes use of JDBC for all database connections
● Hibernate is another layer of extraction on top of JDBC
● When java application uses hibernate framework, the java application will store and retrieve
objects using the Hibernate APIs
● Hibernate APIs uses JDBC APIs in the background for all operations to be done on the
database

Now let us try to optimise the code which we had written in the previous session-
Student.java
package com.tapacad.application;

import java.io.Serializable;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import com.tapacad.model.Student;

public class Program1 {

public static void main(String[] args) {


SessionFactory sessionFactory = null;
Session session = null;

try {
// Create Session Factory
sessionFactory = new Configuration()
.configure()
.addAnnotatedClass(Student.class)
.buildSessionFactory();
// Create Session
session = sessionFactory.openSession();

// Create Transaction
Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();

// CRUD Operations
Student s1 = new Student(3, "charli", "[email protected]");
Serializable id = session.save(s1);
System.out.println(id);

transaction.commit();
} finally {
// Closing Resources
session.close();
sessionFactory.close();
}
}

Most of the code which we have written remains the same except for the CRUD operations so
wouldn't it be better if we can create a shortcut to generate the code?
Let us try that now-

Step 1 :
Copy the code
Step 2:
Click on the Windows tab and then click on Preferences
Step 3:
Click on the Java dropdown and click on Editors button and then click on Templates

Step 4:
Click on New, a pop-up window will be opened
Step 5:
Fill in the details as shown below and click on Ok and then click on Apply and close
