What is difference between HQL and Criteria in Hibernate?

HQL can perform both select and non-select operations. Criteria can only select data, you can not perform non-select operations using criteria queries. HQL does not support pagination, but pagination can be achieved with Criteria. Criteria is safe from SQL injection.

What is Hibernate criteria?

Advertisements. Hibernate provides alternate ways of manipulating objects and in turn data available in RDBMS tables. One of the methods is Criteria API, which allows you to build up a criteria query object programmatically where you can apply filtration rules and logical conditions.

What is Hibernate fetch join?

A “fetch” join allows associations or collections of values to be initialized along with their parent objects using a single select. This is particularly useful in the case of a collection. It effectively overrides the outer join and lazy declarations of the mapping file for associations and collections.

What is HQL and what are its benefits?

HQL helps in writing database independent queries that are converted into the native SQL syntax of the database at runtime. This approach helps to use the additional features that the native SQL query provides.

What is HQL and criteria?

With Criteria we are safe with SQL Injection because of its dynamic query generation but in HQL as your queries are either fixed or parametrized, there is no safe from SQL Injection.

Is HQL same as SQL?

Differences between SQL and HQL: SQL is based on a relational database model whereas HQL is a combination of object-oriented programming with relational database concepts. SQL manipulates data stored in tables and modifies its rows and columns. HQL is concerned about objects and its properties.

Why we use HQL instead of SQL?

The following are some of the reasons why HQL is preferred over SQL: Provides full support for relational operations. It is possible to represent SQL Queries in the form of objects in HQL which uses classes and properties instead of tables and columns. Return results as objects.

What is Hibernate transaction?

A transaction simply represents a unit of work. In such case, if one step fails, the whole transaction fails (which is termed as atomicity). A transaction can be described by ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability).
