Is this really true? I'm an experienced database programmer learning the Java/OO way of doing things and I'm puzzled that people use Hibernate and similar tools to define objects, with the database serving as just a passive serialization mechanism with no thought to database theory. How can this possibly work in real life? Also I've been told that stored procedures are not supported by Hibernate, is that true? How can it be that 20 years of relational theory seems to be getting thrown out overnight? Or am I just misinformed? Received on Sun Jan 02 2005 - 09:44:26 CET
