I have an update statement in my .java file in the form of a String.

String sql = "update ".. and so on.

Now I want to use hibernate to execute the update statement. I want to pass a method provided by hibernate a String that contains an update statement.

I have read Chapter 16. Native SQL, but it did not provide me with an example that I could use.

any help would be most appreciated , Hibernate is heavy!!!

If your UPDATE statement is in HQL, use SessionFactory.createQuery("UPDATE ...").executeUpdate(). If you're using plain SQL, try SessionFactory.connection().prepareStatement("UPDATE ...").executeUpdate().
