Property Name Description

hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache

Determines whether to use the Hibernate second-
level cache.

hibernate.cglib.use_reflection_optimizer

Instead of using slower standard Java reflection,
uses the CGLib code generation library to optimize
access to business object properties. The applica-
tion may be slower at startup if this is enabled, but
with faster runtime performance.

hibernate.connection.autocommit Allows autocommit mode to be used for the JDBC

connection (not usually a good idea).

hibernate.connection.datasource The DataSource name for a container-managed

data source.

hibernate.connection.driver_class

The JDBC driver class.

hibernate.connection.isolation

The transaction isolation level for the JDBC con-
nection.

hibernate.connection. <JDBCpropertyname>

Passes any JDBC property you like to the JDBC
connection—for instance,
hibernate.connection.debuglevel=info would
pass a JDBC property called debuglevel .

hibernate.connection.password

The database password.

hibernate.connection.pool_size Limits the number of connections waiting in the

Hibernate database connection pool.

hibernate.connection.provider_class

The class that implements Hibernate's
ConnectionProvider interface.

hibernate.connection.url The JDBC URL to the database instance.

hibernate.connection.username

The database username.

hibernate.default_catalog The default database catalog name that Hibernate

uses to generate SQL for unqualified table names.

hibernate.default_schema The default database owner name that Hibernate

uses to generate SQL for unqualified table names.

hibernate.dialect The SQL dialect to use for Hibernate; varies by

database. See this chapter's “SQL Dialects” section.

hibernate.generate_statistics

Determines whether statistics are collected.

hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto

Automatically creates, updates, or drops the data-
base schema on startup and shut down. There are
three possible values: create , create-drop , and
update . Be careful with create-drop !

hibernate.jdbc.batch_size

The maximum batch size for updates.

hibernate.jdbc.batch_versioned_data Determines whether Hibernate batches versioned

data, which depends on your JDBC driver properly
implementing row counts for batch updates.
Hibernate uses the row count to determine
whether the update is successful.

hibernate.jdbc.factory_class

The class name of a custom implementation of the
org.hibernate.jdbc.Batcher interface for con-
trolling JDBC prepared statements.
