There's a blog by a SQL DB developer on his concerns about Hibernate, HQL, queries

http://iablog.sybase.com/paulley/catego ... hibernate/

Is he right?

Yes and no. In many cases it is ok for a db guy to look at hibernate in this way. Hibernate is quite a power tool and it can be misused easily, so what he refers to in many cases are programmer mistakes. However, I do agree with extra subselects that hibernate generates, and that they could be done in a different way.

In any events, still it is trivial to write a super efficient program with hibernate. There might be some corner cases in which you need to do some custom coding but still I am happy I am not in pre-hibernate days anymore.
