Hibernate (capital H) refers to an object/relational
persistence and query service for Java. Hibernate is
free released under LGPL open source. Hibernate lets you develop persistent
classes following the common Java idioms including association, inheritance,
polymorphism, composition and the Java collections framework. The Hibernate
Query Language is an object-oriented extension to SQL to provide a bridge
between the object and relational worlds. You had best learn SQL and JDBC first,
then learn this shortcut built on top of them. It is a peculiar name for a high-performance
interface.
The basic idea is that your Java code works with POJOs (Plain Old Java
Objects) not SQL or JDBC. Each object represents one row of an SQL result
set. Each column is one field in the object. Your program can modify these
objects and when you are done you commit the hibernate transaction which figures
out what has changed in the objects and composes the SQL commands to commit
those changes to the database. Hibernate is a type of POD,
Persistent Object Database.
Hibernate is a superset of JPA, Java’s Persistence
API.
hibernate (lowercase h) refers to the ability of an OS
or application to go into suspended animation in order to conserve resources or
electric power, and to spring to life again more quickly than had it done a
complete shutdown.
