Why do I dislike ORM?

"Any problem in computer science can be solved with another level of indirection"... Sometimes we receive too much indirection levels.
Let's try. First time I use psql:

> \d employees 
                                  Table "public.employees"
  Column  |          Type          |                       Modifiers                        
----------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 id       | integer                | not null default nextval('employees_id_seq'::regclass)
 name     | character varying(255) | 
 surname  | character varying(255) | 
 dept     | character(3)           | 
 phone    | character varying(15)  | 
 hiredate | date                   | 
 job      | character varying(255) | 
 salary   | numeric(9,0)           | 
Indexes:
    "employees_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)

Start with query:

UPDATE employees set salary=salary*(1+2/100) WHERE salary<=5000

Will it work? Of course, no. The reason is that we have implicit conversion to integer.
Let's try once more:

UPDATE employees set salary=salary*(1.0+2.0/100) WHERE salary<=5000

Now it worked. Ok.
Let's try to do something similar in Hibernate:

        Query q;
        int updated;       
        q=em.createQuery("update Employees set salary=salary+:par*salary");
        q.setParameter("par", new Float(1.1));
        updated=q.executeUpdate();

And...

        at testhybernate.Main.updateData(Main.java:57)
        at testhybernate.Main.main(Main.java:33)

Ok. Let's try select * from employees; update it and then select * again;

...
em=emf.createEntityManager();
showData(em);
updateData(em);
showData(em);
...
protected static void showData(EntityManager em) {
        Iterator   it;
        Query q;
        List  result;
        em.flush();
        q=em.createQuery("from Employees");
        result=q.getResultList();
        it=result.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()){
            Employees emp;
            emp=(Employees)it.next();
            System.out.println(emp);
        }        
    }
    private static void updateData(EntityManager em) {
        Query q;
        int updated;       
        q=em.createQuery("update Employees set salary=salary+1.1*salary");
        updated=q.executeUpdate();
        System.out.println("updated "+updated+ " entities");       
    }

And results are:

Oops... Select didn't notice update... O, shit!!!
I had some more experiments: we had forgotten that criteriaQueries exists (they are not implemented in Hibernate JPA, may be they are included in some GlassFish jar, but I'm tired).

It's really easier to create DAO with JDBC. And embedded SQL in C is much easier to understand and debug then all this ORM things... I like to work with database. I understand how it works.
Don't do my life easier. I can create effective SQL myself! I spend more time learning different crutches!!!
