Hibernate version:2.1.7

Hi,
I want to ask a simple question? Why can't we make Connection object public in the SessionImpl class. This way i can use the connection to execute some simple queries which does not need any objects (like selecting one column from the table, updating two, three columns in the table). Can sombody throw some light on this?

regards.

SessionImpl is an implementation of the Session interface, so we don't want any member of that class to be public. You don't want your application to be dependent of the SessionImpl class.

By the way, isn't there a method connection() on the Session interface which provides the JDBC connection?

Thanks a lot. I have seen the connection() method which returns a JDBC connection in the Session interface. I was searching for this method. Thanks again.
