I want to know how to use hibernate with Ms Access database

Hi

I want to learn how to use Hibernate with Microsoft Access database
Could you please provide me all the steps required : step by step

Best Regards

I think the only way to do this is to use a commercial driver and dialect. I don't think there are any freely available open source products for either of these. The Hibernate site suggests a company called HXTT. Their site includes a simple "how to".

Thanks Paul

I am actually bigginer in Hibernate,
Do you have any document that show how to use hibernate step by step?

Best Regards

Have you tried Hibernate's own documentation? It's fairly comprehensive when it comes to the basics.

By the way, if you have a choice, use a proper relational database rather than trying to learn with Access.

I will go out on a limb and say that hibernate can not be use with the Microsoft "JET" database engine. That is a non-transactional datastore.

According to Hibernate, they have successfully tested with MS Access and a commercial dialect.

It still wouldn't make me choose Access unless I couldn't avoid it.
