Difference Between JDBC and Hibernate
JDBC vs. Hibernate
Java Database Connectivity (also known as JDBC) is an API specifically built for the Java programming language. It defines how a client is able to access a database by providing methods for querying and updating data in a database. It is oriented more specifically towards relational databases. It was first introduced to the market as a part of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, version 1.1 (or J2SE).
