A high-performance data access layer must resonate with the underlying database system. Knowing the inner workings of a relational database and the data access frameworks in use can make the difference between a high-performance enterprise application and one that barely crawls.This book is a journey into Java data access performance tuning. From connection management, to batch updates, fetch sizes and concurrency control mechanisms, it unravels the inner workings of the most common Java data access frameworks.The first part aims to reduce the gap between application developers and database administrators. For this reason, it covers both JDBC and the database fundamentals that are of paramount importance when reducing transaction response times. In this first part, you'll learn about connection management, batch updates, statement caching, result set fetching and database transactions.The second part demonstrates how you can take advantage of JPA and Hibernate without compromising application performance. In this second part, you'll learn about the most efficient Hibernate mappings (basic types, associations, inheritance), fetching best practices, caching and concurrency control mechanisms.The third part is dedicated to jOOQ and its powerful type-safe querying capabilities, like window functions, common table expressions, upsert, stored procedures and database functions.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a must-read for everyone aiming to push their relational databases to the limit with their Java application." --Lukas Eder, Java Champion, founder and CEO of Data Geekery GmbH, the company behind jOOQ

"There is no resource that better summarizes the performance implications of using JDBC, either directly or via JPA and Hibernate. If you are talking to a database on the JVM, add this book to your reading shelf."--Rafael Winterhalter, Java Champion, creator of Byte Buddy

"Object to database mapping is one of the core requirements in many Java EE related projects. And the available frameworks make it easy for their users to get started. But as soon as you hit particular requirements around distributed transactions or performance you realize how much database and framework knowledge is required to implement them. Vlad made his insane experience available in an easy-to-read book. If you are dealing with JPA or Hibernate, this book is a must read."--Markus Eisele, Java Champion, Developer Advocate at Lightbend

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate guide to a critical topic
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2021
Verified Purchase
The utility and power of JPA and ORM has enabled a new generation of developers to get out there and start writing complex service without too much consideration or elbow grease for the repository layer. However, like many things in life, the magic is great until it stops working.

HPJP provides a very detailed look under the covers and I found myself learning a great deal in every chapter. The book is elegant in its structure as well: it covers each topic in a technology agnostic way and then has breakout sections for each popular RDBMS flavor. I found this to be immensely helpful.

My team already asks ourselves "What would Vlad do?" based on his numerous blog posts and I'll be buying copies of this book for them as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece dedicated to Java persistence layer performance
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017

This book is a masterpiece dedicated to Java persistence layer performance. It is simply the best persistent performance book that covers JDBC, Hibernate and JPA topics such as fetching, batching, flushing, relationships (must read chapter), transactions (that's a woow chapter!), caching (including a great chapter about second level cache), concurrency control and so on and forth. It contains a significant number of benchmarks (including valuable diagrams), that involves the most popular four RDBMS on the market, a lot of tips&tricks, best practices, techniques and a lot of practical examples (every topic is covered in theory and in practice). There is no doubt that this is a must-read book for any Java developer that should deal with persistence.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I have ever read about Java and relational database systems
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2017

This is a must-have for every Java developer that needs to interact with a relational database. While other books only cover basics, this is a book which will teach you lot of stuff about database systems in general, as well as JDBC and Hibernate in particular. For every statement about performance, there is a very detailed explanation why you should use or avoid a certain technique.

All in all, this is one of the best books I have ever read about Java and relational database systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars High-Performance Java Persistence book is one single book you need to know everything about Java Persistence Layer
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017
In Java world, JPA/Hibernate is the most popular and widely used framework. When it comes to overall performance of a software system database persistence layer plays the crucial role. The tricky part with JPA/Hibernate is it is very easy to get started but very very hard to master. This is where Vlad Mihalcea's High-Performance Java Persistence book helps you a lot.

The High-Performance Java Persistence book is not just another Hibernate book saying you put this annotation here and call that method there and you are done.

Vlad went all the way to explain how things work in databases and JDBC such as database connection management, response time and throughput, batch updates, caching, transaction management etc in a very detailed way.

For many of us it is a bit overwhelming to understand it in one go, so I read it multiple times and everytime I read it I gain more and more insights about how things work under-the-hood.

Vlad Mihalcea is a master of Hibernate and we all know it. He covered almost everything about JPA/Hibernate that you can imagine..in a very detailed way...with lot of code examples. Be it JPA mappings, Identifier generation strategies, relationship configurations, batch operations, fetching/projections, lazy loading, Caching etc etc you are covered.

Just because we are using ORM in our application we should not use ORM for all database operations. For some of things like reporting or very complex queries it is better to go with plain JDBC or use some SQL-focused libraries like JOOQ or MyBatis. In this book JOOQ is covered with sufficient details on how to perform complex queries, work with stored procedures etc.

To put it in one sentence: "High-Performance Java Persistence book is one single book you need to know everything about Java Persistence Layer".

3.0 out of 5 stars It's a decent book.
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2021

If you are new to Hibernate, or need a simple example something, this book will help you. Some of the info probably can be organized a little differently and some more details probably could be added such as identity what hibernate will do if you let it create the tables vs how you should do something with existing tables. The would help out a little bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un testo di riferimento per approfondire il tema delle performance dei layer di persistenza in Java
Reviewed in Italy on November 24, 2017
Verified Purchase
Un ottimo testo per chi già lavora con Java ed i database SQL e vuole maturare una maggiore consapevolezza sui layer di persistenza dei dati ed in particolare sui fattori che ne influiscono sulle performance.
Suddiviso in tre principali sezioni, dedicate rispettivamente a JDBC, JPA / Hibernate e JOOQ, il testo, seppur scritto in inglese, si presta ad una lettura scorrevole ed è ricco di dettagli e di approfondimenti talvolta illuminanti.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book about Java persistence layer
Reviewed in Germany on November 6, 2017
Verified Purchase
Working for a few years now for a cloud company, Java and relational databases play an important role for me. I knew I had some gaps with respect to Java persistence layer, and as soon as I started reading the first part of the book things got much more clear. I felt I could easily map the book content with my current knowledge and actually improve it. As you read the book, you will feel the need to re-read some chapters, especially if you want to apply some of the concepts explained. The book is definetely for experienced Java developers, mandatory if you’re developing data access layer for relational databases using Java.
Overall a great book and I absolutely recommend it.
