Dear all, I've been asked to help "tuning" an Hibernate+Oracle application. After a first glance at the application, I feel that the best tuning advice would be mv Hibernate /dev/null but - does anyone know about a good paper about how to optimize Hibernate interacting with Oracle - or have any advice/experience to share ? We can modify the application at will, so "tuning" is not restricted to playing with indexes/instance parameters - it could mean also an "application rewrite".
