How to batch DELETE statements with Hibernate
Introduction In my previous post, I explained the Hibernate configurations required for batching INSERT and UPDATE statements. This post will continue this topic with DELETE statements batching. Domain model entities We’ll start with the following entity model:
How to batch INSERT and UPDATE statements with Hibernate
Introduction JDBC has long been offering support for DML statement batching. By default, all statements are sent one after the other, each one in a separate network round-trip. Batching allows us to send multiple statements in one-shot, saving unnecessary socket stream flushing. Hibernate hides the database statements behind a transactional write-behind abstraction layer. An intermediate layer allows us to hide the JDBC batching semantics from the persistence layer logic. This way, we can change the JDBC batching strategy without altering the data access code. Configuring Hibernate to support JDBC batching is not… Read More
How does CascadeType.LOCK works in JPA and Hibernate
Introduction Having introduced Hibernate explicit locking support, as well as Cascade Types, it’s time to analyze the CascadeType.LOCK behavior. A Hibernate lock request triggers an internal LockEvent. The associated DefaultLockEventListener may cascade the lock request to the locking entity children. Since CascadeType.ALL includes CascadeType.LOCK too, it’s worth understanding when a lock request propagates from a Parent to a Child entity.
A beginner’s guide to JPA and Hibernate Cascade Types
Introduction In this article, we are going to learn how the JPA and Hibernate Cascade Types work. JPA translates entity state transitions to database DML statements. Because it’s common to operate on entity graphs, JPA allows us to propagate entity state changes from Parents to Child entities. This behavior is configured through the CascadeType mappings.
