Databases are complex to implement. This is especially true when components of a database based on two different approaches (i.e. object oriented vs. relational) must interact with each other. Object Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks can act as mediators between the two approaches. Hibernate, the topic of this article, is an ORM framework for Java.
The best example of this is the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. Though JDBC provides an easy method for accessing different databases without much ado, it is basically a low level API providing only a thin layer of abstraction. This is sufficient for small and medium projects, but is not well suited for enterprise level applications. What is required is a Framework that can act as a mediator between both parties (i.e. approaches).
Object Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks are such mediators. The best example of an ORM framework for Java is Hibernate. This is the basic idea which a person should have before dealing with Hibernate. Actually Hibernate will make your database connectivity work really efficient one.
