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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference book

In the complex world of Java persistence frameworks, Vlad is one of those names that every Java developer should know. This book has served as a great reference for resolving multiple issues my current team has encountered while maintaining and upgrading a mature application codebase. His blog and twitter account are also useful sources for additional tips and tricks!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate guide to a critical topic
Reviewed in the United States on 14 June 2021

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 Un testo di riferimento per approfondire il tema delle performance dei layer di persistenza in Java
Reviewed in Italy on 24 November 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 6 November 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.
