[hibernate-dev] ORM FAQ

[Vlad Mihalcea]

Hi Steve,

I read it and I have some the following suggestions:

1. For the Performance section, I'd add the transparent JDBC batch updates,
the delayed connection acquisition, cacheable natural id fetching.

2. For the How does Hibernate compare to JPA section, I'd add a list of
cool features Hibernate has to offer on top of JPA:

- extended identifier generators (hi/lo, pooled, pooled-lo)
- customizable CRUD (@SQLInsert, @SQLUpdate, @SQLDelete) statements
- immutable entities (e.g. @Immutable)
- versionless optimistic locking (e.g. OptimisticLockType.ALL,
OptimisticLockType.DIRTY)
- support for skipping (without waiting) pessimistic lock requests
- support for multitenancy

3. For the jOOQ part:

I'm not sure about the "JDBC libraries" term. All data access frameworks
build on top of JDBC. Maybe "SQL statement builder frameworks" or "Active
Record frameworks" are more suitable.

Otherwise, it's a good addition to the Hibernate documentation.
