Re: Hibernate on DB2/400

OTOH, the blogger could have read the fine manual/docs, or Googled to find:

http://www.hibernate.org/403.html

I really doubt that Hibernate would have arbitrarily reversed a JDBC standard ( by spec, autocommit is true when a Connection is returned ) without some way of backing out of it from the very beginning.

As regards open source, unless I'm aware of a proprietary product that does "better" hands down, OSS is the first place I look. But, not all OSS is good. Obvious, but sometimes overlooked. And, as I think the above shows, one can end up writing proprietary code from open source. My real question is, why didn't the guy go to Gavin and say "this needs to be in Hibernate and I'll contribute it," so there would be A source and ONE source? Of course, then he would have learned that his work wasn't necessary, but that's beside the point, which is: resist ( insofar as possible ) the temptation to say "I'll just change this..." and make maintenance headaches for yourself, while contributing nothing back. IMO, etc.

Subject: Hibernate on DB2/400

I was reading about Hibernate, but the journaling does present some problems
for me. I have clients that don't use journaling at all or use it on some
files. I found this blog post interesting and thought I would share.
