Hi Guys ,


Is It Better To Use HIberante Query or HIbernate Criteria .

what about the performancs

If there was a clean and easy answer to this question only the 'winner' would be part of hibernate.

It depends on what you try to do. Criteria is nice for dynamically creating queries, e.g. for search screens. If you want a full replacement for sql HQL is the better option.

Unless you are creating tenthousands of small fast sql statement the performance should be irrelevant. They both create and execute sql and the transfer of data through the wire and out of the database typically is order of magnitude slower then creation of the sql-statement.

Yes, As schauder said, Criteria is just to form the HQL query string dynamically based on the user inputs.

Iam Currently working on gwt and hibernate.
some of our guys have written the their database code completely using criteria and some by queries.but the application goes slow for the guys who used queries and it is fast for guys who used criteria.this means using criteria is faster than queries.

right
