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.

With Vlad as one of the main Hibernate contributors, you can't have a better teacher for tuning your application's data access layer. 


I can totally recommend this course as Vlad has great teaching skills and perfectly mixes theoretical input with running code examples.

As a Java developer, I often find myself interacting with databases and writing SQL queries. After attending Vlad's High-Performance SQL, I found answers to many problems that I faced over the years.


Vlad has a dynamic approach to teaching that motivates and engages everybody in the room.


The presentation covered a lot of fascinating topics, and the content was well structured.

Every section had real-life code examples helping solidify the information presented.


This was a great training course that covered a lot of advanced SQL concepts.

Hi, I’m Vlad Mihalcea


I'm a Java Champion and one of the top Hibernate ORM project committers, and the author of Hypersistence Optimizer, a tool which scans your application configuration and mappings and tells you what changes you need to make to speed up your data access layer.

I've been answering thousands of questions about Hibernate and JPA on StackOverflow, for which I got gold badges for Hibernate, Java, and JPA tags.

Whenever I find something interesting, I like to share it on my personal blog.
