The basic idea is that your Java code works with POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) not SQL or JDBC. Each object represents one row of an SQL result set. Each column is one field in the object. Your program can modify these objects and when you are done you commit the hibernate transaction which figures out what has changed in the objects and composes the SQL commands to commit those changes to the database. Hibernate is a type of POD, Persistent Object Database.
Hibernate is a superset of JPA, Java’s Persistence API.
hibernate (lowercase h) refers to the ability of an OS or application to go into suspended animation in order to conserve resources or electric power, and to spring to life again more quickly than had it done a complete shutdown.
