Recommend libraries / frameworks for working with a database from a "thick" client?

Question

Java

There is a thick client written in Swing.
At the moment, I use Hibernate to access the database, but it is not very convenient to work with it within the framework of a thick client.

What else can you try (preferably with support for annotations and object mapping)?

Answer 1

If Hibernate (or JPA) does not work, then you can try mybatis.

Answer 2

MyBatis is not a full-fledged ORM like Hibernate, but it has the ability to write sql queries in separate XML files and map the results to objects, due to which you can achieve good performance, as well as use all the features of the used DBMS.

Answer 3

If you think over the architecture well, if you actively use spring, then using hibernate on a thick client will look the same as on the server
