Difference between JPA, EclipseLink & Hibernate

Today, I will talk about the differences between JPA, Hibernate and EclipseLink.
When people are new to JPA, Hibernate or EclipseLink, they are often confused about the difference between them and which one they should use in their project. If you’re one of them, don’t worry. It’s a lot easier than it seems.

Hi, i have a question not properly realated to the content of the video, but to a piece of code i saw. Why does a select query needs to be executed in a transaction? Transactions are not needed just for insert, update and delete? Thanks in advance and nice video

Can somebody explain to me why anybody would want to use EclipseLink? I work with Spring Data/JPA and by the looks of it, it is a lot easier than EclipseLink mostly because Spring Data automatically creates a lot of the mostly used queries like findById and findAll and findAll with pagination.

I wouldn't EclipseLink for much of anything. Too many bugs and not fully implemented.
