I wag going through a hibernate tutorial, where they say that hibernate is not suitable for data centric application. I am very much impressed by the 'object oriented structure' it gives to the program, but my application is very much data centric(it fetches and updates huge number of records. But I dont use any stored procedures). Cant I use hibernate?Are there any wrappers written over hibernate, which I can use for my application?Any help is appreciated.
I am not sure about specific meaning of phrase data centric. Aren't all database applications data centric? However, if you do process tons of data, Hibernate may not be the best choice. Hibernate is best to represent object models mapped to the database and it may have role in any application, but to do ETL (extract/transform/load) tasks you may need to write very efficient SQL by hand.
