Proper use of Session get,load and find

Hi,

I know in some variations this question have been raised, but reading the doc and various posts I can't be sure when is each method is properly used.

Can you please elaborate on the each method semantics? (like why can't I use get instead of find to check if the object exists etc.)

Thanks a lot.

You should always use find() if you like to go all the way to the database and not hit some proxy or cache.

if you are doing something like:

Code:

session.find("select poio.poNew from PoItemOrdered as poio where poio.entityDeliverToId=?", entityId, Hibernate.STRING);

and you suspect that *many* of the entities returned will be proxied or in cache (or in the session?), is there a way to look there first?

thanks

Enable the query cache.
