A beginner’s guide to Phantom Read anomaly
Introduction Database transactions are defined by the four properties known as ACID. The Isolation Level (I in ACID) allows you to trade off data integrity for performance. The weaker the isolation level, the more anomalies can occur, and in this article, we are going to describe the Phantom Read phenomenon.
How do find and getReference EntityManager methods work when using JPA and Hibernate
Introduction While doing my High-Performance Java Persistence training, I realized that not all developers are familiar with the getReference method of the JPA EntityManager and most of them use find almost exclusively. In this article, we are going to see the difference between the find and getReference method so that it’s clear when to apply them depending on the underlying use case.
A beginner’s guide to Non-Repeatable Read anomaly
Introduction Database transactions are defined by the four properties known as ACID. The Isolation Level (I in ACID) allows you to trade off data integrity for performance. The weaker the isolation level, the more anomalies can occur, and in this article, we are going to describe the Non-Repeatable Read phenomenon.
MariaDB 10.3 supports database sequences
Introduction Traditionally, both MySQL and MariaDB relied on AUTO_INCREMENT columns to generate an IDENTITY Primary Key. Although IDENTITY columns are very efficient in generating the Primary Key value, when it comes to using JPA and Hibernate, the IDENTITY generator prevents us from using JDBC batch inserts. To automatically enroll multiple INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statements, Hibernate requires delaying the SQL statement until the Persistence Context is flushed. This works very well for the SEQUENCE identifier since the entity identifier can be fetched prior to executing the INSERT statement. However, for IDENTITY columns,… Read More
