  • command-oriented API (StatelessSession API) for operations on huge number of objects
  • bulk UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT INTO ... SELECT for multi table entities
  • extra lazy collections for huge collection handling
  • use of join fetch on collection through scrollable resultsets through break processing
  • database generated properties (including database timestamps)
  • additional ON clauses for joins
  • dirty checking short-cuts for instrumented classes
