In short, it sucks :).

Long description: Hibernate is a mature ORM for Java. It is in use with
PostgreSQL in quite a few installations and even a bunch that we are
responsible for. It does work as well as any ORM can work.

The problem is, its an ORM and ORMs are dumb in there actual ability to
work with any real relational database.

If you are not lazy you can push outside the standard hibernate methods
and produce very usable code but then you have to wonder why you have
hibernate there at all.


Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
