Hibernate Basics Course (How To)

Data Persistence & ORMs

During this stage, we'll start by practicing the basic SQL CRUD operations in a SQL Playground. Then, we'll use workspaces to connect a Java application to a SQLite database using JDBC, or Java Database Connectivity. Finally, in an attempt to map Java objects to database tables, we'll build a case for incorporating the all-inclusive solution of an Object Relational Mapper such as Hibernate.

Getting Started with Hibernate

After stretching our database and SQL muscles, we're now ready to incorporate an Object Relational Mapper, or ORM. In this stage, we'll configure our Java application to work with Hibernate. To instruct Hibernate as to how we wish to map our POJOs/entities to database tables and columns, we'll employ JPA annotations.

Persisting Data with Hibernate

Now that we have our application configured to use Hibernate, it's time to see how all the CRUD operations are performed using Hibernate. During this stage, we'll see how to write the code for actually creating, reading, updating and deleting entity objects with the Hibernate SessionFactory.
