How to optimize JPQL and Criteria API query plans with Hibernate Statistics
Introduction
Every entity query, be it JPQL or Criteria API, needs to be parsed and compiled to an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) in order to generate the associated SQL query. The entity query compilation takes time, as explained in this article so Hibernate provides a QueryPlanCache to store already-compiled plans.
Starting with Hibernate 5.4, the Hibernate Statistics object allows you to monitor the Query Plan Cache and this article will show you how to take advantage of this feature to speed up IN query performance.

How to merge entity collections with JPA and Hibernate
Introduction
In this article, you are going to learn why overwriting entity collections is an anti-pattern and how you can merge collections both effectively and efficiently with JPA and Hibernate.
The reason I decided to write this article is that I’ve been this question asked over and over and over again.

How to map java.time.Year and java.time.Month with JPA and Hibernate
Introduction
In this article, we are going to see how you can map the java.time.Year and java.time.Month with both JPA and Hibernate.
As explained in this article, JPA 2.2 supports LocalDate, LocalTime, LocalDateTime, OffsetTime, OffsetDateTime from the java.time package. Hibernate has been supporting the Java 8 Date/Time classes since 5.0 via the hibernate-java8 dependency, but since version 5.2, this dependency was merged with hibernate-core so you get the Duration, Instant and ZonedDateTime types in addition to the ones supported by JPA 2.2.
However, neither JPA nor Hibernate supports the java.time.Year type out-of-the-box. As you will see, adding support for java.time.Year is very easy with both standard JPA or Hibernate.
How to map the Java YearMonth type with JPA and Hibernate
Introduction
In this article, we are going to see how you can map a java.time.YearMonth with both JPA and Hibernate.
As I explained in this article, JPA 2.2 supports the following Date/Time types introduced in Java 8:
java.time.LocalDatejava.time.LocalTimejava.time.LocalDateTimejava.time.OffsetTimejava.time.OffsetDateTime
Apart from supporting those, Hibernate supports also:
java.time.Durationjava.time.Instantjava.time.ZonedDateTime
However, neither JPA nor Hibernate support the java.time.YearMonth out-of-the-box. As you will see, adding support for java.time.YearMonth is really straightforward for both standard JPA or Hibernate.

Query pagination with JPA and Hibernate
Introduction
Inspired by this StackOverflow answer I gave recently, I decided it’s time to write an article about query pagination when using JPA and Hibernate.
In this article, you are going to see how to use query pagination to restrict the JDBC ResultSet size and avoid fetching more data than necessary.
