Dear Sir,

For the document hibernate_reference_mannual section 8.2, at the very beginning, it states that when a child is added, one insert and one update is done.

I would like to know the update SQL will update which table, the parent or the child table to create the link??

And it two SQL is inefficient and may violate constraint, why the development team just remove it?? What is the purpose of such design??

Regards,
William

The inverse="true" attribute controls ownership of the link. Hibernate provides all options so your not limited thus able to meet all possible requirements.
