Hi all,
I am simply running the application from Hibernate's Chapter 1 doc.
1. Why am I seeing 2 different insert commands on the client and server side (see below)?
2. Assuming I wish to insert more than one record, how can I configure Hibernate to avoid preparing 2 different INSERT statements and to actually do some parameter bindings?

Hibernate version: 3.1

Mapping documents:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping>

<class name="hib1.Event" table="EVENTS">
<id name="id" column="EVENT_ID">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property name="date" type="timestamp" column="EVENT_DATE"/>
<property name="title"/>
</class>

</hibernate-mapping>

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():
session.beginTransaction();
Event theEvent = new Event();
theEvent.setTitle(title);
theEvent.setDate(theDate);
session.save(theEvent);
session.getTransaction().commit();

Full stack trace of any exception that occurs:
