    Default Advantage of Hibernate over JDBC

    Ok. Lets assume there are 100’s of tables say Table1, Table2 ….Table100. The tables contain details of employees.

    And say Table1 contains ‘a1’,’b1’,’c1’…’z1’
    Table2 contains ‘a2’,’b2’,’c2’………’z2’
    and so on till Table100

    Now let see the implementation in JDBC and Hibernate. Lets see where the advantage is, in Hibernate(Unfortunately I don't seem to find any reduction in code). The question is below the code.

    JDBC Code:
         sql1= "INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES (‘a1’,…………….)”;
          sql1 += "INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES (‘b1’,……………)”;
          sql1+ = "INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES(‘c1’,……………..)”;
          stmt.executeUpdate(sql1);
     
          sql2= "INSERT INTO Table2 VALUES (‘a2’,…………….)”;
          sql2 += "INSERT INTO Table2 VALUES (‘b2’,……………)”;
          sql2+ = "INSERT INTO Table2 VALUES(‘c2’,……………..)”;
          stmt.executeUpdate(sql2);
     
         and so on till 100 tables

    Hibernate Code:
     
    ******Integer empID1Table1 = ME. addNameToTable1(“a1”, ………….);
    ******Integer empID2Table1 = ME. addNameToTable1(“b1”,………….. );
    ******Integer empID3Table1 = ME. addNameToTable1(“c1”,…………….);
     
    *     Integer empID1Table2 = ME. addNameToTable2(“a2”, ………….);
    ******Integer empID2Table2 = ME. addNameToTable2(“b2”,………….. );
    ******Integer empID3Table2 = ME. addNameToTable2(“c2”,…………….);
     
        and so on
     
    public Integer addNameToTable1(String name, …….){
          Session session = factory.openSession();
          Transaction tx = null;
          Integer employeeID = null;
          try{
             tx = session.beginTransaction();
             Table1 table1 = new Table1(name, ……………);
             employeeID = (Integer) session.save(table1); 
             tx.commit();
          }catch (HibernateException e) {
             if (tx!=null) tx.rollback();
             e.printStackTrace(); 
          }finally {
             session.close(); 
          }
          return employeeID;
       }
     
    public Integer addNameToTable2(String name, …….){
          Session session = factory.openSession();
          Transaction tx = null;
          Integer employeeID = null;
          try{
             tx = session.beginTransaction();
             Table2 table2 = new Table2(name, ……………);
             employeeID = (Integer) session.save(table2); 
             tx.commit();
          }catch (HibernateException e) {
             if (tx!=null) tx.rollback();
             e.printStackTrace(); 
          }finally {
             session.close(); 
          }
    and so on till 100 functions

    Now, my question is where is the advantage of code reduction in Hibernate when compared to JDBC? I am aware of other advantages of Hibernate like lazy loading, transaction handling, caching but just don’t understand the code reduction in Hibernate because I don’t see it.

    Default Re: Advantage of Hibernate over JDBC

    Developer has to write code in JDBC to map an object model's data representation to a relational data model and its corresponding database schema.

    The mapping of Java objects with database tables has to be taken care of in JDBC. Hibernate provides transparent persistence and therefore there is no need to map database tables tuples to application objects during interaction with RDBMS.
