Hi,

I am trying to develop one standalone application where no container of any kind is involved. It is just plain java based application (related to VOIP) where i need to get the data (as string) from the soft switch, and do some processing (like parsing and computation), create business objects and eventually save the objects into the mySQL database.

Objects are not simply being serialized rather each attribute of the object corresponds to one column in the table. So by default we are having object model which is required for hibernate. But the question is that we are dealing only with the INSERTs at this point of time and it may be the case that we might insert more than 10,000 records at one time. Performance is critical to us. Hence can anyone suggest (if as said, we are dealing only with inserts) which one would be better -

1. implementing hibernate as a data access layer
2. simply make JDBC calls to mySQL database.

Please try to give me reasons of your selection.

PS: Kindly give performance a high priority to any other aspect such as maintainability etc.

Thanks in advance.
