I'm using Hibernate 3.2 and StatelessSession interface. I set the jdbc batch size to 50.

In a for loop, I insert objects to the Oracle database. My question is, does the StatelessSession interface support JDBC batch processing?

I read the documentation about batch processing and the example given there only used the regular Session interface.

If I use the StatelessSession, will my inserts be put in a batch and will the "hibernate.jdbc.batch_size" parameter will be used to define the batch size?

Thanks,
Ali

I think YES

Is there a more definite answer?

When I turned on the statistics, I see this:

11:03:43,823 INFO StatisticsImpl:471 - statements prepared: 50683
11:03:43,823 INFO StatisticsImpl:472 - statements closed: 50683

This is definitely less than what I write to db. But does that mean hibernate used batching while inserting? Also doesn't hibernate use prepared statements and does this mean that hibernate created that many prepared statements? I'd expect at most 1 prepared statement since I insert objects of same class.
