Hi,

is it possible in Hibernate that the automatic dirty checking on entities actually performs an update only on the properties I have changed for real?

for example:

//open transaction, get an entity "Person"
person.setName("name");
person.setSurname("name");
//commit transaction

performs an UPDATE statement like "update PERSON set NAME=?, SURNAME=? WHERE...", that updates only the properties I have changed for real and not all?

in my SQL code generated the update always update all the entities.

In your mapping file for the Person class you can enable dynamic-update:



Or, if you are using annotations:
