Tonight I made my first successful entry into PostgreSQL with Hibernate. I think I have logged a total of 12 hours trying to get Hibernate to work. My first mistake was trying to use HSQLDB. I had PG set up and working, but I wanted something smaller, less of a headache to maintain and simple to start up. I will have to figure out how to get PG to run as a service to get the simple start up. Anyway, after chasing after HSQLDB for a couple of hours, I finally gave up and went back to PG. After tracking down all of the Exceptions and settings... I finally got a new record at 10:32pm! Now I can actually start learning how to USE Hibernate. I am almost convinced that all of this persistence layer stuff is for the birds. Vic has a really nice and simple DAO, and I am not afraid of SQL so maybe I should give it a shot.
