I would like to know which are the weak points of Hibernate 3. This is not pretended to be a thread against Hibernate. I think it will be a very useful knowledge for decide if Hibernate is the best option for a project or for estimating its time.

A weakness can be:

  • A bug
  • Where JDBC or PLSQL are better
  • Performance issues
  • ...

Also, can be useful to know some solutions for that problems, better ORM or techniques, or it will be corrected in Hibernate 4.

For example, AFAIK, Hibernate will have a very bad performance updating 10000 rows comparing to JDBC in this query:

update A set state=3 where state=2
