Batch (Hibernate JavaDocs)

All Known Implementing Classes:

BatchImpl
```
public interface Batch
```
Conceptually models a batch.
Unlike in JDBC, here we add the ability to batch together multiple statements at a time. In the underlying JDBC this correlates to multiple PreparedStatement objects (one for each DML string) maintained within the batch.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`addObserver(BatchObserver observer)`	Adds an observer to this batch.
`void`	`addToBatch(JdbcValueBindings jdbcValueBindings, TableInclusionChecker inclusionChecker)`	Apply the value bindings to the batch JDBC statements and Indicates completion of the current part of the batch.
`void`	`execute()`	Execute this batch.
`BatchKey`	`getKey()`	Retrieves the object being used to key (uniquely identify) this batch.
`PreparedStatementGroup`	`getStatementGroup()`
`void`	`release()`	Used to indicate that the batch instance is no longer needed and that, therefore, it can release its resources.
