Re: [hibernate-dev] HHH-6726 LONG and LONG RAW column types in Oracle
by Łukasz Antoniak
Currently Oracle supports database versions from 10.1 to 11.2 [1]. LONG
and LONG RAW data types are deprecated since version 8 and 8i (released
before September 2000) [2]. Oracle keeps those column types only for
backward compatibility [3].
I tried the following scenario (Oracle 10gR2):
1. Create schema with "hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" set to "create". The LONG
column is created.
2. Insert some data.
3. Modify Oracle dialect as Gail suggested. Avoid setting
"hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto".
4. Insert some data.
To my surprise the test actually passed :). However, I think that we
cannot guaranty the proper behavior in every situation.
As for performance, ImageType is extracted by calling
ResultSet.getBytes() method, which fetches all data in one call [4]. I
don't suppose a major performance difference when data is streamed in
another call. oracle.jdbc.driver.LongRawAccessor.getBytes also fetches
data by reading the stream.
The bug reading LONG column affects JDBC drivers since version 10.2.0.4.
I think that we have to choose between:
- changing Oracle10gDialect. Make a not about it in migration guide to
4.0 and update "5.2.2. Basic value types" chapter in Hibernate
documentation.
- introducing Oracle11gDialect. It can sound weird to access Oracle 10g
database with Oracle 11g dialect.
- disabling execution of Hibernate tests that fail because of this issue
with @SkipForDialect (and maybe develop another version of them with
CLOBs and BLOBs, @RequiresDialect). Hibernate is written correctly
according to "Default Mappings Between SQL Types and Java Types"
(referenced earlier by Gail) and this is more Oracle's JDBC
implementation issue. This option came to my mind, but it's weird :P.
I would vote for the first option.

docstyle questions
by Hardy Ferentschik
Hi,
I am having some question regarding the styles we are using.
I was looking for the source for org.hibernate:hibernate-jdocbook-style.
AFAICS, it is still in the svn repo:
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/hibernate/hibernate-jdocbook-style. Is this
correct?
And where do I find org.jboss:jbossorg-jdocbook-style? Who is responsible
for maintaining this style? PressGang?
Is there an issue tracker for this styles?
jbossorg-jdocbook-style contains documentation.css which determines the
look&feel of tables. Personally I find
the combination of no borders between table cells + a vertical middle
alignment of the content as not very suitable
for easy reading. Is that just me?

HHH-6735 Performance improvements in flush loop and more
by Emmanuel Bernard
Hi,
Sanne and I identified a few hot spots in Hibernate Core 4 especially when used with Hibernate OGM (which does use lighter weight datastores so to speak). The most significant one in term of code fix is HHH-6735 which now caches and guard FieldInterceptorHelper methods per class when a SessionFactory is known. This proves to be a significant performance boost for us. On simple CRUD operations (inserts I believe), we are about 50% faster. I believe this improvement will show up in regular Core users especially ones with big persistence context to flush.
Of course such a code change comes late in the 4.0 development cycle but I think it's worth it. Keep an eye on forums and JIRA for people complaining about bytecode enhanced classes not behaving as expected.
I've committed the change in master.
