Limitations of Hibernate

Limitations of Hibernate

Hibernate has numerous advantages, but it also has certain disadvantages.
Let's look at some of Hibernate's shortcomings.

1.Cost of performance

Many SQL statements are generated during runtime by Hibernate. Hence it is slower than JDBC. There is no extra effort required if you utilize JDBC.

2.It is not possible to make several inserts.

Many SQL statements are generated during runtime by Hibernate. Hence it is slower than JDBC. There is no extra effort required if you utilize JDBC.

3.Adding more Comlpex to the mix

We must define mapping and join information in the XML file for several mappings and joins.

4.Batch processing is not performing well.

Pure JDBC is recommended for batch processing, as Hibernate's performance is subpar.

5.This is not suitable for minor projects.

Introducing the complete Hibernate framework in a small project would be more of a burden than a benefit.

6.Learning curve

Like many other tools, Hibernate requires a lot of time and effort to understand. It's not impossible to learn, but it's not easy.
