Introducing ADO.NET Entity Framework

This is the third and final part of my ORM series in which I am going to introduce the ADO.NET Entity Framework, an in-built Object Relational Mapping model of the .NET Framework.

Similar to the previous post, this one also covers the same four principles –
  • Configuring a .NET project for the ADO.NET Entity Framework
  • Inserting data from Objects directly
  • Retrieving data using Object Lists and LINQ
  • Changing the Database Management System

Introducing Hibernate In Java Using NetBeans

In one of my recent posts, I introduced the theoretical topic of Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) - http://gautam-m.blogspot.com/2010/11/object-relation-mapping.html. In this post I am going to take a step forward and introduce Hibernate – an open source Java persistence framework from JBoss.

This post covers four basic principles of Hibernate –
  • Configuring a Java project for Hibernate
  • Inserting data using Object Persistence
  • Retrieving data using Hibernate Query Language (HQL)
  • Changing the database configuration to connect to another DBMS
