Bulk Insert/Delete ------------------ Key: HHH-6712 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6712 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: core Affects Versions: 4.0.0.CR4 Reporter: Martin Krüger Deletion with cascade is done object by object now. When entity A references entity B and one deletes several objects A, then b1 is deleted then a1, b2 then a2, and so on. It would be more performant if the bulk operation first deletes all b's and then deletes all a's. This could be done by collecting the id's of the entities and then delete all entries in one table. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
