What experience do you have using Hibernate for database operations?

Hibernate is an ORM framework for Java that simplifies working with databases by allowing you to work with objects instead of writing SQL queries directly.

My experience includes:

• Mapping Java classes to database tables using annotations (@Entity, @Table, @Id, etc.).
• Using Hibernate sessions to perform CRUD operations.
• Writing HQL (Hibernate Query Language) for more flexible queries.
• Configuring lazy and eager data loading.
• Managing transactions and optimizing performance.

Example of a simple Hibernate query:

Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();

User user = session.get(User.class, userId);

tx.commit();
session.close();

This code loads a User object from the database by its ID.
