Hibernate supports a total of 13 generation policies by default:
1. increment 2. identity 3. sequence
4. hilo 5. seqhilo 6. uuid
7. uuid. hex 8. guid 9. native
10. assigned 11. select 12. foreign 13. sequence-identity
The following describes several common strategies:
① Identity [incremental]
Supports DB2, MySQL, SQL Server, Sybase, and HypersonicSQL databases to generate unique identifiers for long, short, or int types. It depends on different underlying databases,
It has nothing to do with Hibernate and programmers.
Annotation example:
@ Id
@ GenericGenerator (name = "idGenerator", strategy = "identity ")
@ GeneratedValue (generator = "idGenerator ")
② Sequence [sequence]
Supports Oracle, DB2, PostgreSql, SAPDb, and other databases to generate unique identifiers for long, short, or int types. It requires support from the underlying database,
The database maintains the sequence.
Annotation example:
@ Id
@ GenericGenerator (name = "idGenerator", strategy = "sequence ",
Parameters = {@ Parameter (name = "sequence", value = "seq_name ")})
@ GeneratedValue (generator = "idGenerator ")
Note: this policy requires the sequence name to be set; otherwise, hibernate will not be able to find the sequence name, which will cause an exception:
Org. hibernate. exception. SQLGrammarException: cocould not get next sequence value
③ Native
The underlying database is supported. For MySQL, SQL Server adopts the identity generation policy and sequence policy for Oracle.
Annotation example:
@ Id
@ GenericGenerator (name = "idGenerator", strategy = "native ")
@ GeneratedValue (generator = "idGenerator ")
④ Increment [incremental]
Unlike the identity Policy, this policy does not depend on the underlying database, but on hibernate itself, which is used to generate a unique identifier for long, short, or int type.
The primary key counter is maintained by an instance of hibernate. Each auto increment is 1, but this policy cannot be used in the cluster,
Otherwise, a primary key conflict occurs. This policy applies to all relational databases.
Annotation example:
@ Id
@ GenericGenerator (name = "idGenerator", strategy = "increment ")
@ GeneratedValue (generator = "idGenerator ")
⑤ Uuid [32-bit hexadecimal string]
The 128-bit UUID algorithm is used to generate a primary key. This ensures the uniqueness of the primary key in the network environment and the uniqueness of the primary key in different databases and servers.
Uuid is eventually encoded into a 32-bit hexadecimal string,
The occupied storage space is large. Used to generate a unique identifier for the String type, applicable to all relational databases.
Annotation example:
@ Id
@ GenericGenerator (name = "idGenerator", strategy = "uuid ")
@ GeneratedValue (generator = "idGenerator ")
⑤ Assigned [manually allocate the primary key ID value]
This policy requires the programmer to maintain and manage the primary key. When data needs to be stored, the programmer must assign a primary key ID value for the data,
If the data is not assigned a primary key ID value or the assigned value already exists, the data will not be persistent and will cause exceptions.
Annotation example:
@ Id
@ GenericGenerator (name = "idGenerator", strategy = "assigned ")
@ GeneratedValue (generator = "idGenerator ")
