What is the difference between first level cache and second level cache?



What is the difference between first level cache and second level cache?..

Answer / Rohit Katarya

First-level cache (Session Cache) and Second-level cache are caching mechanisms provided by Hibernate:
1. First-level cache: It's specific to each active session and stores data retrieved from a database during the session's lifetime. The first-level cache allows subsequent queries to reuse fetched objects, improving performance.
2. Second-level cache (SessionFactory Cache): It's a global, shared cache that can store data across multiple sessions and even between different Hibernate instances. By default, Hibernate uses EhCache as the second-level cache provider.
