Java Persistence with JPA

Jakarta Persistence (JPA) is the standard for mapping Java objects to databases. JPA provides several advantages over traditional data access methods like Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). In this hands-on course, Kesha Williams discusses these advantages and acquaints you with the basics of JPA, entity management, transaction management, and relationship mapping. Kesha then discusses more advanced topics like inheritance mapping strategies, Jakarta Persistence Query Language (JPQL), the Criteria API, and persistence providers. She explains how inheritance functions when working with mappings, classes, and tables. She also demonstrates how to create queries using JPQL as well as native queries.
