Introduction As usually it has been a long time since I have last posted in my blog, and even longer (about half a year) since the last time I wrote about Hibernate but finally I have fond the tome for that. This post is about Hibernate standard compatible (TABLE, SEQUENCE, IDENTITY, and AUTO) identity generators: it explains what the identity generators are and illustrated the different considerations need to be taken when choosing identity generation strategy.
