Select Algorithm
- Select algorithm is able to generate primary key values on the basis of the underlying database provided triggers.
- This algorithm is able to provide primary key values of the data types like short, int and long.
- This algorithm is represented by Hibernate software in the form of a short name like “select” and a predefined class name “org.hibernate.id. SelectGenerator”.
- This algorithm may take input parameters which are related to triggers.
- This algorithm is supported by almost all the databases which are supporting triggers.
E.g
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN" "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"> <hibernate-mapping> <class name="com.ashok.hibernate.sample.model.Employee" table="emp"> <id name="id" type="int" column="id"> <generator class="select"> --- parameters related to triggers---- </generator> </id> <property name="empName" column="emp_name" type="string" /> <property name="address" column="address" type="string" /> <property name="salary" column="salary" type="float" /> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
