Master Hibernate and JPA with Spring Boot in 100 Steps - Step 71 - Introduction to Caching and the Various Levels of Cac

The video tutorial provides an overview of caching in web applications, focusing on Hibernate and JPA. It explains the necessity of caching to reduce database roundtrips, especially for data that doesn't change frequently. The tutorial covers two levels of caching in Hibernate: first level cache, which is specific to a single transaction, and second level cache, which is used across multiple transactions for common data. The video concludes with a summary of caching concepts and a preview of implementing a first level cache example.

Why is caching important in web applications?

• To reduce the need for frequent database access

• To increase the number of database queries

• To increase network traffic

• To make the application slower

Where do Hibernate and JPA fit in a typical web application architecture?

• In the UI layer

• In the network layer

• In the business layer

• In the data layer

What is the primary function of the first level cache in Hibernate?

• To increase database load

• To cache data within a single transaction

• To store data across multiple transactions

• To store user interface elements

How does the first level cache improve performance?

• By reducing the number of database queries within a transaction

• By caching data across all users

• By increasing the number of network roundtrips

• By storing data permanently

What type of data is typically stored in the second level cache?

• Temporary user session data

• Common data shared across multiple users

• Data specific to a single transaction

• User interface settings

How does the second level cache benefit an application?

• By increasing the number of database queries

• By storing user passwords

• By caching common data to reduce database access

• By storing data for a single user

What happens if data is not found in the second level cache?

• The application crashes

• The data is retrieved from the database and stored in the cache

• The data is permanently lost

• The user is logged out
