Hi,
I am using Hibernate 2.1 with ORACLE 8. I have some queries regarding Hibernate :
1. Does the "mutable" attribute at class-level help in any optimization?
2. I have worked on mapping LOB columns to byte[]'s. Is there any option to lazily load a LOB i.e. without materializing it entirely in memory?
3. If the application query specification involves many joins, is the SQL query generation mechanism optimized to break the application query into many SQL queries.
4. Is there any support for cursored streams of objects?
