Please help.

Thanks a lot in advance and will be waiting for the kind reply.

Thanks & Regards.

Hibernate is a persistance level framework which takes the concept of object-oriented rather than procedure-oriented(such as the common SQL). You own the knowledge about OO,I believe that it's very easy for you to unstand Hibernate. On the one hand, you should understand HQL deeply. Because most of the operation can be performed by HQL. On the other hand,unstand hibernate's three state:transient,persistant and detached.That's all.I hope you can work hard.

Inorder to understand hibernate, your pre-requisites are you have to know JDBC concepts, hibernate is nothing but a framework which we used to connect to different different databases,and for resources search in the net which explains hibernate
i know one website, JSP Tutorials,EJB Tutorial,JDBC Tutorials,Free Java Servlets Tutorials, WAP Tutorials, Spring Framework Tutorials, J2EE Tutorials, BioInformatics Tutorials, Java Server Faces Tutorials, Jboss Tutorials, Hibernate Tutorials, XML and MySQL Tutorials
