Database Integration: Overview of Using JPA & Hibernate

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Object-relational mapping (ORM) allows Java objects to be mapped to database tables and vice versa. Use this course to learn more about the Java Persistence API (JPA), which defines how Java objects and relational data should be mapped, and Hibernate, an object-relational mapping solution for Java environments. Start by exploring how to create an application that uses Hibernate APIs directly to interact with a database and examining hibernate configuration files in greater detail. You'll also investigate how Java objects can be created in an app and then persisted in a database and discover how the same operations can be implemented by applying JPA configurations, which then use Hibernate under the hood. Once you've completed this course, you'll be able to distinguish between JPA and Hibernate while also recognizing how they are connected.
